No, they had the tent off the rack when I arrived, and were planning on installing it on the silver FJ just as I was leaving. I didn't stick around to see how it went. Do you have one? Any comments on it?

Just wondering since you didn't reply when I asked you about Wolfie earlier in the thread (post# 7 ).
No biggie....figured you probably didn't see it, hence the
. Everything's going great here. No complaints....'course no one will listen. :lol:
Hope all's well on your end. :wave:

You're right Sean, I missed it and didn't reply. Sorry about that
Actually, I haven't talked to him in a while, but I think he's doing well.Okay, time for another post from the road:
I had another good day. I left Eugene early and had a beautiful drive along the Willamette river corridor, then made my way to Crater lake. The north entrance was closed, so I had to make a substantial detour to the south entrance. It was another nice sunny day and the water was bluer than blue can be! I'm in Reno now, and just had a wonderful dinner with some friends where I am staying tonight.
A few photos from today:
A canoe team on the water in Oregon
Along the Wilammete drive, I stopped at McCredie hot springs for a nice soak.
And Crater lake. . .

Yes i have it.. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!:rocker:
Except for mounting/removing it. If you have average man-sized hands, than it is next to impossible to tighten down, or loosen the front mounts.
Hopefully you can pass that along to ARB! :bigthumb:

Welcome to the forum!:wave: you got one lucky job, you get to drive an test the ARB products!:rocker: Looks like a great trip!:bigthumb: More pics!!!
Thank you! More below. . .
Yes, this is the one that went to Australia. It still has some permit decals on it from the trip, so I'll post a pic of those next time I get a chance. They're kind of cool
Thanks for the welcome :cheers:
Ok, more pics. . . I dropped off the radar for a bit, but I have a Verizon signal here at Lee Vining on the east side of Tioga Pass. I'm in the Sierras now, near Mono lake and headed into Nevada. I spent last night in Yosemite Valley. Unbelievable! Definitely a crown jewel of the U.S.A. I was lucky enough to hang out with some of the locals (camp employees) some of who were fantastic musicians and had a great little jam session. Imagine wooden chairs on a wood slat porch (nice bass acoustics with the feet tapping) and lots of stars.
I was hoping to just crash out in the FJ again (like I did in downtown Eugene. . . LOL) but they don't allow you to sleep in your car, so I had to be a good boy and pay way too much for a canvas tent room. I'm not complaining though. . . what a spectacular place to spend a night. I did a little walk to bridalveil falls just before it was totally dark, and had the place all to myself.
Ok, time to roll! On to sin city and then the push home.

Jeeze, if all Scott needed was an FJ with an aux fuel tank to go from AZ to the Summit we could have volunteered! We've been on the waiting list for our tank forever now and we are doing a backcountry adventure through AZ and NM on our way! Oh well....
Have fun!

Mike,
Not trying to answer for Chris... But, yes he will be at the Summit with the FJ featured in this thread.
He is a great guy to know!
cheers,
dale
Thanks! I had to miss SoCal on this trip, but maybe next time I get in the area if it works out, it would be great to run a trail with you guys.
Thanks for the additional warm welcomes and comments. Yes, I'll definitely see you all at the FJ Summit. I'm looking forward to it!
Miss R2FJ, here's hoping you get that tank soon :cheers: You are going to love it. I went from Eugene, OR to Carson City, NV with a (likely close to 100 miles) side trip to Crater lake, the trip meter was reading 540 miles, and I still had a 1/4 tank of fuel left :bandit: So, well over 600 miles of range.
Ok, time for a few more pics from today. . .
Mono Lake, California

Driving towards the eastern edge of California. There are some roads out here that I must come back and explore.

And the historic silver mining town of Benton Hot Springs in Mono county, CA.

I'm in Las Vegas now. I plan to make it into AZ tonight. I may just sleep under the stars out in the desert if I get too tired to make the run home.
It's been fun!

Great pictures again Chris.
If you get up this way again, Mt. Rainier National Park is a must see.
I more than likely will be spending a week up at the White River campground for my vacation this year in the park.
Smack dab up near the mountain with deer all around, and you can watch the climbers go on the routes to summit the mountain.
