Who's Orange FJC in Lewiston, Maine 7-10-10?

[MtnClimber]

I saw someone on the trail today that has a custom Orange FJC with an IH8MUD sticker on the quarter glass. Connecticut plate CHTLHU

It was at the Allwheels off road park in Lewiston, Maine. Just wanted to let him know I have some video clips of him pulling some weak Land Rovers up a steep hill.

Like the color, only have seen a few online in orange.
MetalTech Fab has an orange one.

Post the video pulling the Rovers, I would like to see that

 

[FJCthulhu]

Thanks!!
That would be me. We'll be out there again today, by the way. Would love those videos, do you mind if I pm you when I get back home? Would be cool to see them.

Hey i live in portland and wheel at allwheels on a regular basis in my FJ. Do you live in Maine?

 

[MtnClimber]

I live in Lewiston. FJCthulhu Lives in Conn.

I kinda narrowed it down since you have a MUD sticker and your plate was something that I could imagine being a screename (like mine).

I actually didn't find you in this site since yours was broken down with an FJC in it, but I did find you and message you in the FJCruiserForums. You'll see it. I will post the pics and videos here. They aren't that great of quality, but something...

I'm a member of Maine4X4.org.
Maine4X4 was at Alwheels Offroad Park when we came up to another group while wheeling down a steep hill called 'Chevy Slide'. We moved aside so the group could continue. The group was lead by Bill Burke. Bill was teaching the group how to drive off-road. Google his name, you'll find his site.

Bill Burke's group ...

Hey Rich, the FJ is looking good. Nice of you to save the Rovers

 

[FJCthulhu]

Thanks for the vids MtnClimber!! We had a great time. I think one of my fillings came loose after one of those shock loads.

Stan -- your bumper did all the work

So how did you like the park? Probably the best I've been to since every trail seems to change often like the weather.

The park was great -- since we were in Bill's class we didn't do much exploring to really see the whole place but it looks like it could be easy to spend 2 days there. We're already talking about taking a couple of our friends up there for a run. We want to check out some of the harder trails.

428 acres, a very reasonable entrance fee and free camping, it's already a favorite.

Do you mind if I drop you a note when we plan a trip up there? Seems like you know the trails pretty well.

Let me know as well would love to link up with some of you guys. It gets old pulling jeeps around.

That's all folks!

 

[julstirn]

I love allwheels, cheap and fun and just awesome! I cant wait to come home and I will be living in Auburn so I will be there all the time!

 

[HJ-45CrewCab]

I think we are heading up to the park tomorrow with the FJC. This will be my first time at this park and bringing Father-in-law who has never been 4 wheeling. Follow up with shopping in Portland.

 

[MtnClimber]

^^ Did you end up going?

 

[julstirn]

I know I am going spend most my free time there when I get back haha! Im glad my girl has a place in Auburn!

 

[HJ-45CrewCab]

^^ Did you end up going?

Yes, we did go to the property. Drove around for an hour and a half. Seems everyone else was more interested in the shopping (Cabella's), so we didn't stay long. Whenever I steered toward something difficult, my passengers freaked out. It was nice to play around none the less. Mud holes must be really nice in April/May.

 

[julstirn]

HA, every obstacle that we got to the girls screamed "stop"! I just told them we arr doing it either get out or hold on! I really enjoyed the place and am hoping to get some guys together and go once I return!
