I MIGHT be able to make this one!
I wished I could have made it last year, and really wanted to do it this year....

Gotta see how the rest of the bumper build goes!

I'll try to get this shift covered at work.

I am hoping to make this one. I broke my 4runner in of El Dorado when I finished the SAS, so it would be cool to break the 80 in on it also.

I'm in if I have the 40 back together.
Otherwise I might hitch a ride with someone.

How much crawling we talking about with this one? Haven't swapped out my catchers for a better set of real sliders, so I lose a bit of my clearance still. Still stock height too.

You should have no problems. The road through the canyon only has a few spots that you have to be careful, other than that, it's a dirt road. You can make it as hard as you want, if you leave the road.

Aww man, I'll be out of town that weekend. That's a fun trail. I've been wanting to tag along with the Reno crew, but the timing hasn't been right yet. Sometime it will happen.

Too bad, I'd love to see your diesel 70 series.

Took it there in November. Next time I'll give a shout out on this forum. PM me if you go some other time, I only saw this in the "new posts" so I might miss an anouncement.
Thanks and have fun. I'll be laying on a Caribbean island beach soaking rays and drinking rum!!

We always stick the club trail runs to the top so you can just stop by and check whats going on pretty fast.

Don't forget the sun screen

If I need a ride and you have room for both of us that sounds good. I've never been in an FJ off road before.

I've only been a couple times, but you guys know that. And the only passenger I've had in the backseat whilst wheeling in Oregon was a feisty daschsund. He found it quite roomy, though that didn't stop him from jumping up front.

The FJ was also full of ladies once, again on an Oregon trip, but they didn't take up much room. I'm thinking a backseat passenger on a trail may have some visibility issues. However, I'm also thinking a backseat passenger could man the espresso machine using the three-prong outlet I have in the back. Put in a power strip and I could run Café FJ on the trail!

Desert or Rusty, feel free to bum a ride from me! I'd love to see your camera equipt, I'm bringing my Canon Rebel XT. Sounds like this is going to be a photo-expedition.
