Glad to see some new posts. Your poor FJ has got some battle scars!
Did a trip to Slade KY to meet friends with mostly buggies for the weekend running around Hollerwood park. Figured I would go run easy trails when they wanted to do buggy things... still ended up running Carburetor Hill unassisted

Totally unrecognisable terrain here after devastating fires last summer. This is off Mormon Emmigrant Trail east of Sacramento, Ca. yesterday. Last year it was impossible to see the hills for all the trees.
This is always hard to see. I realize it’s part of the cycle of forests…but it still hurts to see it.
Too bad they only logged it after the fire. Hate to see Cali burn year after year.
We were in smoke during our Rubicon run two years ago.
We always see logging equipment every year but they can't take everything out. What will hurt is the aftermath of the winter heavy snow season; all the creeks will be filled with mud and the trails will suffer massive erosion and be completely different to drive next spring. I will go up after we get significant snowfall and post pics here.

Also, BMThiker, there were huge fires the season you visited Rubicon and it was difficult to live here because of the smoke. The State does allow logging in El Dorado NF, but if you have seen the acreage and terrain you will know how hard it is to get in. I buy a new Forest Service map every 2 years because the trails change almost annually, some are abandoned and new ones are cut for CalFire to get in. Its not an easy answer.
The Rubicon Trail is only 15 miles north of where I took these pics. Some of the Rubicon did burn last season. Only way to fight most of those fires is with aircraft.

Bought an 1996 FJZ80 Landcruiser this year, to share the stable with my 2008 FJ Cruiser. Adding the pics below in this forum after initial posts in 80 Tech forum.
FJ after Gobi Rack install - and before significant clear coat failure on the paint!

Visiting one of our jobsites - adaptive reuse project where we tore the roof off the structure and added a second story.
