Off-roading Pics from 5/13/06

[Thai]

Trucks: my G500 (BFG AT KO 31", sliders), FJ Cruiser (6MT, BFG AT KO 32", ATRAC and rear locker), 4runner V8 Ltd. 4wd, GX470 KDSS, and a Jeep Rubicon (Nth-degree 3" lift).

You can see the different steep path that you can take...

Of course, all attention was on the FJC. Let me tell you from first-hand experience, FJC is a pretty darn good trail rig! It performed signficantly better than either GX or 4runner. (Remember though that both 4runner and GX were completely stock with highway tires and running boards.)

I am thoroughly impress by the FJC. Impressive. I am now actively trying to get my brother to get one. Thanks to "cruiser dave" for bringing his FJC out with only 600 miles on his odometer...and leaving behind his 3-week old newborn for off-roading. It is clear that he has his priorities right. :biggrin2:

I will get more pics from my brother tomorrow.

Looked like a lot of fun Thai. I've never seen that color of the FJ before, but probably because I haven't followed its release much...

More...thanks to CRUISER DAVE

After looking at FJC closely...FJC is actually only about 1.5" shorter but wider than my G. It just "looks" small.
