7 AZ FSJ'ers showed up for the event. 5 brought their FSJ's. We set up a table and chairs in the parking lot, ate burgers/pizza/brownies, checked out the FSJ's and enjoyed stories and real life chat. It was a dang good time!

Next month there will be a trail ride on the 21st and a Meet and Greet at Kevin and Kirsten's home on the 14th. Keep your eye on the events forum.

Pics are below. Feel fee to comment.

Tom,
Thanks for postin' the pics. It's always nice to come out of a Summer long hibernation and hang out with fellow FSJers. Can't wait till next month.

Thanks for sharing Tom.

Wish I could have made it. One of these time I'll actually make it down for one of these.

At least I recognize 4 out of the 5 Jeeps....:D

I really like how this Waggy has grown up over the past few years! :thumbsup:

Just saw this thread. Tom, great pics as always. I had a great time and, as always, it was informative. I learned my 82 Cherokee has the same tail lights as grand wagoneers and that that is correct for the model year!

What's that blue thing next to the Wagoneer? :rolleyes:

Really nice! Is that a SOA lift? Who owns it? I need to ask some questions.

I have an FJ Cruiser in VooDoo Blue as well as my J Trucks. The FJ cruiser is a a FAR SUPERIOR and Much more capable 4x4 then my J10. Been there, done this, I know. It is an absolutely AWSOME machine. I could put a 10 year olf giggling little girl in the drivers seat of an FJ and tell her to follow "that guy" up a Black Diamond trail and there will be no issues. The onboard computer system, the drive train working in concert is simply awsome.
I have toyota rock rails, and ARB bumper w/ winch and I added a frame to frame metal hitch and incorporated the OE hitch into it, basically I wrapped mny wife in steel. Eventually I will make her a full cage as well, AFTER I do the lift.

I know exactly what it is (just being a smart Great Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley Moogley) My buddy has one and it is very impressive offroad and on. Nice J-Truck build by the way.

That's ok... we can pick on all those little "suv's" etc here. After all, they are just a different kind of barbie jeep ;)

[mcjeep80]

a few realy nice fsj's. i wonder what people think when they see one of our groups:rolleyes: BTW i vote to BAN artisan from this site for good for his last post. ;) furthermore someone should adopt his unloved j's. i will volunteer to bear this burden:thumbsup:

[Artisan]

Ahhh Hummm....Cough.Cough..... :D

The FJ is the WIFES :p It takes a MAN to properly run a FSJ... Espically w/ a 401/NP205 Twin Stick and ATTITUDE Ha!

(PS, go to a FJ Cruiser Trail Teams deal and DRIVE an FJ, IN Four Wheel Drive and learn about it and see what ya think... ) :thumbsup:

HA! Sounds like they drive themselves... what's the fun in that???? ;)

I like the FJ's, I like the look. I never sat in one. My buddy works at a Yota dealer and says they are very off road worthy. Certainly if you compared a stock FJ to a stock waggy, the FJ is probably the better truck. Of course, it has 20 years of updated technology and costs a bit more...

For what I have invested in my Cherokee I would go toe to toe with a FJ. If it's a stock FJ, I would leave it in my dust.

Especially when both are fully packed for camping...
