Life isn't fair...

I'm still dreaming of the day I can take my FJ Cruiser in the snow...
About an expedition run next year?

woody · 03-16-08, 01:25 PM

a few more pics....going thru over 100 and cleaning up the good ones

Silver truck was being driven by Joe Bacal, I was driving the yellow....

TOO TOO TOO fun!!

eleblanc · 03-16-08, 01:41 PM

Yesterday i went for a snow run ( i usually never get my BJ in snow), anyhow it was fun. I went through snow and ice covering a mud hole pretty bad, should of seen the truck lying on the side in the hole, with mud splash all around it on the snow caused by my effort to get out. Anyhow there was 2 FJ with us, both running 32" snow tires. Suprisingly only one truck never had to be pulled and it was a FJ and he even opened that last section of the trail without getting stuck.

Anyway riding on ski slope must have been fun! Nice pic Woody!

woody · 03-16-08, 01:42 PM

and a few more.....speeds uphill were 35-45 mph....

downhill....well....lol

HJ-45CrewCab · 03-16-08, 03:07 PM

Woody,

Where were you guys?

Trollhole · 03-16-08, 04:20 PM

That is so cool. Very nice.

woody · 03-16-08, 05:22 PM

49* North, ski hill just outside Chewelah WA (Spokane)

More pics pending, need to clean them up and crop....
(nevermind....balance are all blurry...silly snow...)

Niner · 03-16-08, 06:21 PM

You guys have a tough job.

RIZZIWheeler · 03-16-08, 11:50 PM

I got so many facials from snow shots coming through the open windows- I am not sure skiing will ever be the same for me. I am so impressed with this vehicle I don't know why anyone would pick a Jeep over the FJ.

Boss man

RIZZIWheeler · 03-16-08, 11:52 PM

Woody~ am I going to get any Cred for these pics or what?

semlin · 03-16-08, 11:58 PM

whoa, you just combined two of my hobbies into one

reffug · 03-17-08, 01:07 AM

damn dat looks like a good time.....................

Hank · 03-17-08, 06:55 AM

I knew you would find something to do with your off time. Looks like a blast to me. I've taken just about everything down a ski hill but never a vehicle.

I've taken a tumble down every ski hill I've ever been on.
