I spy Jacque's Ivan Stuart Taco. That thing is sweet!

Nope, that's Barb's 3rd gen Taco.

Tim,
That's cool you got a pic of the winching. I never got the story on the delay. Looks like they had to double their efforts, eh? A pulleyed winch and a tow strap.

On Friday I had to winch an FJ40 off a tree, and a solenoid was acting up so it sucked it in tight on the fairlead.

Prior to this recovery, TR Burrus (from ARB) had to attach the winch to a tree and Barb had to "snatch" it loose before TR could pull the line out and direct the recovery above.

What a PITA.

This recovery shows the importance of having the proper gear: gloves, snatch block, tree saver, etc. as well as having your equipment working well.

The winch is only the first investment in recovery...

Wish I had gone, but it was COLD and I am a puss!

Keep bringing on the pictures so I can recoup my $50! How was the food?

Best damn BBQ I've had in a long time...

I suspect we'll have an impromptu meeting at Clint's BBQ joint in Ft. Worth some Saturday afternoon...

I was looking at the pic before you posted and I was saying to myself, I thought Jacque's was a current gen Taco. Now I see. Barb is a lucky gal. I hope she lets you have cool stuff too.

How did Chris B. do?

He thinks my graphics make my FJ look like a flamer. I need to prove him wrong.

I didn't see him very much, but I didn't hear of a damage report or a rescue mission, so I guess it went well!

It's not the graphics, it's the missing front diff...

That's cold. That's below the belt right there.

If Tim can do it, then so can I!

Here's a view of it from an FJC point of view.
