Proper Use For New FJ Cruiser

[WillisE30]

I know a possible 3 of you care but blame Darkwing6 for requesting I post these.


This is what happens when you hang up on a submerged log, I was going to take a crack at the pit next to it but got confused and ran through that one. DOH!


Obviously door seals will only hold back so much water. Don't let the rubberized floor fool you, there's fabric like sound deadening beneath it. Pulling the interior out of your year old truck FTW.

Oh and before I get shit a Jeep with 37s hung his diff up in the same place ten minutes before.

Bad ass. I have never been wheelin' before. Looks like fun.

Wheelin' is a fucking blast. It's kinda tense with a newer rig but the pay off when you make it up some ridiculous trail unscathed is that much better.
The reaction of the average wheeler is funny too, half confused and half impressed. I wish I had a beater Yota that I didn't care about destroying because that would be more fun but this will suffice, plus it makes a good tow vehicle.

that looks like capital forrest...man hit me up next time your in my woods. i want to play.

[WillisE30]

It was Reiter. I'll drop you a PM next time we go out wheelin' though. I love pulling out Jeeps....

[E-rich]

reiter? wheres that at. but ya hit me up man. i wouldnt mind seeing how well my heep can tow a new fj back into town...:p

I need to find the pics of me pulling a friend's XJ out of a similar hole. Reiter is up North near Monroe. Some of the best trails in the state but a few of them require crossing streams, when I was there the water was WAY too high for me to make it across with 33s. Depth>tire height+swift current=no way.

Wicked! I saw a show on speed channel documenting 2 Toyota FJ's in the BAJA 1000... Those things were badass.

Yeah, I normally avoid mud and crap like that but most of the other stuff was inaccessible. Before you go wheelin' with me you HAVE to get rock sliders for your rig. If you don't you'll hate life because you run serious risk of banging rocker panels, even on pretty simple trails. I've got a winch, straps, shackles and all kinds of stuff to unstick rigs too so you'll be in good company. Perhaps we need a PNW e30 Crew wheelin' day. I know Derek would be down to ride along.
