2018 Chile Challange

[Stepmurr]

I'm taking the FJ40 to New Mexico in October for the 2018 Chile Challenge
I've gone three times so far - once in the Taco & twice in the cruiser and it is a great event

Need more Toyotas on the trails so register up and come along in October!

2018 Chile Challenge On-Line Registration Is Open!

Why lockers matter



Carnage from day two - one crushed front drive shaft

Any one have an old front shaft laying around?

Now five levels of rigs!

The only other FJ40 I saw this year

Camping outside of Silver City on the way home
Found an interesting way to park level on a steep hill - thanks to a ditch bank & a large rock

Back in Arizona

1586 miles round trip - Max Speed 82 MPH!

Steve, you always amaze me with that FJ40. That truck will out live us all.

Excellent report, looks like your 40 got a better work out than RugRoad last year. Awesome pictures as always.
