Thanks for getting this set up. Edit: Wait - I AM in the group shot!

I will certainly be back for the next run.

Edit: Also working on getting a CB on the truck.

Thanks everyone for coming yesterday, and thanks to Lee for trail leading for us again (even though this group was entirely different than the first one lol). I don't have many pics, but here's what I got:

Here's a nice view of the pit:

This awesome shot of Lee's FJ. I should get paid for this one lol :jk:

It was a fun day. Oh and as far as I know, ZERO THINGS BROKEN YESTERDAY!

See you guys on the next one!

I want in! Instead I went snow wheeling with my girlfriend yesterday. Found a few trails 6 miles from my house. Nothing compared to NJ or NH's trails, but I got to put it in 4WD and drive over rocks, bumps, and through ice covered water. I'm happy.

I'm looking forward to the next one and with a group that knows where to go. Last summer i drove through on my own luckily without as much water in the way.

Oh man it looks and sounds like you guys had a blast. I'm hoping to be able to go the next time around

That one trail sucked. Scratched the **** out of my passenger side lol. Good thing they're light, just ordered Meguiar's m105 and m205 polishes to erase those this weekend. Good thing it's gonna be nice out!

Wheel it or mall crawl it... Scratches happen

Yeah I know, they still bug me though. Gives me a chance to use the new random orbital buffer I just got.

Practice on your sisters car first

Ha - Scratches!

I don't even know if I got any - have yet to wash all the mud off. I should have taken pics. I'm pretty sure I was the muddiest there - thanks to going through several puddles that I really shouldn't have.

I bet you do. Enjoy the mud disguise while you can haha. I can only imagine how the 5th gen looks after that one trail. At least it was white!

my fj is wider than all the rigs that came out. I barely got any scratches......stop yer wining haha. all the fun trails are the ones with deep holes, tight paths, and huge hill climbs. if you don't want any of that stuff, im sure the mall has a few good bumps you could crawl over. hell, I bet you wont even need 4wd lmao.

you know im just messing with ya mike.

I had a good time with yall (t4r guys) again. Sorry the trail riding wasn't that long. Coulda been a lot longer... ALOT longer!

I didn't break anything on the FJ, but it is in the shop right now getting a new rear main seal. Damn you deep sandy water puddles. Looks like im gonna have to start taking a lot of the go arounds now. I'm probably wearing my warranty thin with this being my 2nd rear main seal replacement in a year and a half.

btw, nice shots guys!

Only the second? Psh.. Amateur.

I'm messing around too, not really complaining. I'd rather get trail scratches than soccer moms using their minivans to scratch it haha. Plus they're so light you can't even see them when its wet. It's a truck its meant for this stuff!

Sunday I was running on 3 hours of sleep and was too tired to do much at the pit. Next time ill do more! (8 am? Really?) Haha I'm just kidding. Hopefully you'll be down to trail lead for us all the time. It's always a lot of fun!
