Trail Test Drive

[Slim]

Fsjeep and I went out Saturday to Give Our FSJ a test drive , since the summer Fire hazard has been soo high here all summer ,, It was really one of the first times ina Long time since Either of Us had been out ,,

We ran one Med Trail and then went off to find a Local Lake to do some fishing ..

Everything ran and worked great,, Fsjeep went the day without a problem , Mine got a little Hot on one of the long uphill climbs ,,but cooled down Pretty quick ,,,other then loosing a Roof light ,, the only other thing that acted up was My CB ,, probably hit by a branch ,,

Here are a few pics for u guys to see what Wheelin is Like Here on the Island ..

Here are a few pics of our wheelin terrain, most trails are hidden underneath a thick blanket of trees. Probably a lot different compared to the dessert.

Slim, looks great. I haven't seen the new exocage on your rig yet, it looks good. I have one small suggestion though.... you might want a small hoop over the front to prevent radiator/engine smashing in the event of a rollover. all in all these jeeps look great and i can't wait to see some more.

:( you know i have to live my life through you guys, since my jeep has taken a massive $hit on itself. hopefully, i can post soon too.

were u suggesting like the pic of the blue toyota?
a loop like that? One thing here that still does concern Me is branchs coming threw , I was going to mount my fog/driving lights there also but was starting to think i might be restricting too much air flow,

and Thanks for any and all suggestion ,,,i had no idea what i was tryin to build or how to do it,,, Dwain and I just gave it a Wing as We went

[woodstock]

Great stuff guys!

[75wag401]

how bout you trade the land in BC for some georgia land, just bring all that down here and ya'll can have some georgia clay. we need more land like that around here haha

[fsjeep]

clay, we have a bit of it up here, last time I was in a clay pit with some water was not so fun, that stuff is extremely slick, sunk my truck and shoveled for what seemed like forever, and when it hardens on your truck its like concrete, its just not the same as mud....LOL

[75wag401]

well y'all need more of it. leem get that prime real estate and blue clear water haha and real mountains

[fsjeep]

lol

that looks great. Years ago (1986) my future wife and I went to Victoria. She was driving her nineteen seventies white FSJ with Arizona plate. Got some looks. Anyway, it is a beautiful place, we didn't do any wheeling (I didn't even think about it back then). Great pics. I would love to go back. You are lucky to live there!

[mikeythefireman]

<<sniff>> I miss home. (WA state, just a couple miles south of you guys) I'll be back home in February, we should get together up there for wheelin'.

[fsjeep]

you know i have been thinking that meeting up with some of the members would be cool, we got a ferry that takes us over to port angeles then we could go from there....maybe slim and lister????? would be interested for a trip sometime.....not sure if many members live near washington state and are interested in meeting up?

[Slim]

Gee that would actually LET us into thier country with there rigs ???? :eek:

Of course I would have to ask the Wife if i can come out and Play ,,, :D
