I hooked up with a guy from work today who runs with the Nevada Backroaders crew. Not sure the name of the trails but it was Grandpa something to Electric something or other. We ended up at the river then came out another dirt road to Nelson. All in all it was a great run and I finally got a chance to try my FJ out in its element. I am very pleased with how the FJ performed off road and its 4-low downhill abilities are even better than my old Tacoma. Pics:

Uh a little trail trouble

I was asked by at least 3 Heep guys if I liked my FJ. Why yes, in fact I do.

Rar

Ahh the great outdoors

Aw official trail dog is tired!

Again it was a great day. The weather was perfect, the FJ ran flawless, and I really enjoyed the run. Looking forward to running a few trails with you guys.

Went on that run as well. Took Electric Ave to Aztec Wash. Had 31 vehicles altogether. Went out through Nelson's Landing. Was a "smooth" ride as most of the roads were freshly graded. The only reason for 4 low was to preserve the brakes. Everyone had fun, although there were only 4 Toys, 2 tacos and 2 fjs. There was also an F-150.

Have the magnetic gray Taco. Was the 4th vehicle back at the beginning of the run. Same one as in my avatar.

Nice to meet you then. Did you happen to see the front bumper on the blue FJ? Sorry to be a noob but I'm trying to identify it. It had what looked like a forward F and backward F for the logo.

Sounds like a FabFours bumper.

I have that bumper on my FJ, and I love it. Did it have the bull bars or no? I would like to add a bull bar to mine, but don't like the ones they make. Check out my Showcase viewtopic.php?f=37&t=3638
