Nice pics & writeup Corey

What happened?


Great photos, WA is beautiful

We went on the 2nd run (Will & I) which was a harder run than the first group went out on.

Rob was up front, then the blue FJ, then us.
I saw Rob backup a tad to get a better line, and I knew if he was backing up, it must be a tight turn.

We watched the blue FJ go in, then the hitch sunk all the way down into the mud.
He then tried to make a sharp turn right to negotiate around a tree trunk, and the tree was victorious.

We heard it, and I knew something bad happened.
He had to keep going, and I could hear the sheet metal screaming bloody murder.

That is when he parked it and we started taking some pictures of the carnage.

I gotta give props to the young guy (low 20s) who I rode with.
He has not gone off road much, but he would take his rig anywhere as I mentioned in my first post.
I know I would never take a brand new rig and do what he was doing today.

He made it through with the only damage being to the running boards.
He would just stand on top of them and jump up and down to flatten them out again.

He will be ordering some Bent Ups or Demello sliderz before to long.

He also had BFG ATs sized at 285x70x17, and there was slight rubbing at full lock.
Needs a lift with anything over stock size.

I did not get any close-ups of his rig, but he posted some awhile back on YotaTech.
He is running teflon wheels, very nice.

Cool, just retreived my photo the Trail Team took of me.
They took photos of anyone who wanted one, and passed out some cool stuff too.
I got a pair of work gloves that say FJ Cruiser on them, and a real cool rain proof map case.

Will who I rode up there with got one of those coveted watches.
Lucky guy

Just got 23 more pics from Will, the guy with the black FJC I rode up with.
They are on my webpage I made earlier, here are 3 teaser pics...
