FJ Summit 2012 -- DC to Ouray!

Great Pics guys. Gotta admit, the only thing scarier than seeing CAM in bed with me would be the steep drop offs next to skinny lose gravel stone trials. How bad were they?
 
and here is the 2 minute interval timelapse from my run today on California Pass and Corkscrew Gulch:

I notice you have the hood up at one point, what was going on there? :)

A lot of the trails out here are like that, steep cliff up on one side and steep cliff down on the other. Surface on trail 'roads' can be slick rock or decomposed granite. Loose it in the Rockies and it won't buff out..
 
Here's a picture of the damage from yesterday. You can see where the mount separated from the shock body. Still waiting on the new shock from Icon, but they touched base with me this morning and are all ready to install the new one once it arrives this afternoon (I hope).

Here are some pictures from yesterday and today:

// Another shot of the TRD wheels. According to harper7 the Toyota guys here don't know the exact specs, and no one is sure if they'll be in production.

// The Metal Tech 4Runner grille. They wheeled it a bit yesterday on some easy trails. Word has it the 35's its running rub pretty bad.

// New Icon Adjustable Remote Reservoir Shock. Select how hard or soft you want your ride on the fly. Joneseyyy can provide you guys the technical details if you're interested, but it's an optional upgrade if you get your remotes rebuilt.

^ Obviously he was going way toooo slooooow. :cool:

Nice pucker shot! Video with scrapping sounds would have been better. How did his rear bumper do at the end?

Not even a scratch on the skids or bumpers! Video will come shortly. You'll hear 4ShoreRunner go "uhhhh..." followed by a very loud thump.

Hey LIMAMIKE- Do you have any more pictures of that T4R with that Metal Tech Grill? I like the look of it a lot - where does one order one of those?

I was talking though my aux fusebox mod with the guy driving the Series 80 Landcruiser. I've been getting a fair number of questions being usually the only 4runner in the group.

@Goyo,
Loving the ATP's. running them at about 28~30psi. Great off road and still a secure ride on the highway (550) heading back into town. I do need to buy a good deflator so I can drop pressure easily and accurately instead of the deflate/measure/deflate/measure method.

Uploading the timelapse of Imogene to Ophir pass at the moment. Limamike, Joneseyy and 4shorerunning are still out enjoying the Metal Tech beer and our free pint glasses. Thanks to Brandon and Tara for being our gracious hosts for this party!
