Drive an FJ Cruiser with the FJ Trail Team

Tim Scully · 04-17-06, 11:04 PM

What!!! Yes you can drive an FJ Cruiser offroad with the FJ Trail Team. We are taking the FJ to a lot of really cool offroad sites across the U.S. Check out the FJ link on Toyota.com and find out where we are going to be next.

I am the lead driving instructor for the East Coast FJ Trail Team and we are going to be at the Rockport ORV Park next weekend, April 22-23. If you can come out you will have the opportunity to drive the FJ Cruiser offroad on some great terrain in the park.

If you live in another part of the country you could catch up with the Central Team or the West Coast Team of the FJTTs.

Send a team up to Canada (Winnipeg would be nice) and I'd be there with you in a heartbeat (once my FJC arrives on the 21st).

That would be VERY cool!

Dont miss out on this opportunity guys, Upstate Cruisers brought a few guys out in the rain we had several mechanical problems and a roolover and the FJ kept plugging along the whole time. Plus the FJTT is a pretty cool bunch of people. It was pretty fun to drive too.

woody · 04-18-06, 07:55 AM

see you in Rockport

AND in Tellico for GSMTR!

powderpig · 04-18-06, 10:57 AM

Shawn,

Checked with the higher ups. Legal mumbo jumbo is all I got back from them. Our insurance won't allow us to go up there or into Mexico

. Maybe you could make it down to one of our events in South Dakota or NY or Wisconsin. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it is what it is.

Tim

woody · 04-18-06, 05:51 PM

Wisconsin?

when????

Tim Scully · 04-18-06, 06:07 PM

It looks like we will be in Wisconsin on Sept 2nd and 3rd. The dates are still tenative though.

The team will be there for sure but I will unfortunately be in Cabo San Lucas on a Jaguar event that weekend!!!

k_os · 04-18-06, 06:12 PM

besides tellico do you have any other dates in SC,NC,VA,even west virginia.

Beowulf · 04-18-06, 06:15 PM

The Central team will be in New Mexico this weekend, April 22-23. Check the details on the FJCruiser Team web site or on the HDCruisers.org web site.

Woody gets to drive whatever is left of Robbie's FJC after we finish with it.

Tim Scully · 04-18-06, 06:16 PM

We have a lot of dates over the next 8 months. You can check out the Toyota.com website and go to link for FJ and then FJ Bulletin to see the schedule of upcoming events. If you have an event in mind I could look and see if we are comign to it though.

I think Brian is coming to see us at HowiePalooza before the GSMTR so he will have some seat time in the Cruiuser before getting into Robbies

Thanks,

SINCITY100 · 04-18-06, 08:25 PM

Any plans to run trails in the Southern Nevada area ? I want to see the FJC in action...and in person (cant seem to get any local FJC owners out there in the desert !) :(

woody · 04-18-06, 09:15 PM

Sept would be the CORR Brush Run in Crandon....haven't missed that event for a few years, even had my FJ40 on display in the Pitbull tires booth in 2005...I'll be there in June too for their first run...

Toyota has a pretty good sized booth there....if that's the event, keep me posted, since I know of a buddy with a rock garden just a few miles from there....you'll enjoy Vic Ferrari (band) on Sat night too...usually a good showing of...mmm...well...young ladies

slowpoke · 09-09-06, 11:30 PM

My family and I rode with Maureen at the Chrystal Beach, TX event this morning. She was very friendly and answered all of our questions.
We had a great time, and we are thinking hard about buing one in the spring.
