I got the chance to meet some FJ owners today at the CA Recovery Clinic held by FJ FunJunkie and MuddyGrrl.

First, I wanted to extend my HUGE thanks to everyone for making us feel welcome, and to our instructors for some very valuable lessons learned. It was really great meeting everyone. And of course, to let us 4Runners tag along

But, I know most of us wanna see pictures, so I'll get right to it...

Most trail pics courtesy of my co-pilot Tony:

After the great instruction, and getting finished with lunch, a couple of us decided to go down "Indian Truck Trail" to end the day.

Bye FJ!

You have a knack for finding the 'fun' spots today. In one of the pic's, you can see the stock VB coming down a hill in front of me. I seriously thought it was going to roll over and down the hill. It got VERY off camber, crazy. Must have been the cushy stock suspension.

much much much much thanks to FunJunkie for thinking of this, and for MuddyGirl and Cowboy4X4 for providing the training. I had a great time.

Videos of the training will come, but it will take a couple days.

Looks like you all had fun. So sad that I could not make it.

Maybe next time.
