Hey Rob! How's things??

Only one of them broke, the other did just fine. Unfortunately, the one that broke was because of his driving...Also, the break was a known weak spot on a lifted FJ, the tie rod. There is now a heavy duty replacement available from All Pro Offroad that would have eliminated that 3 time break he had that day...And that alone should be indication of his driving style, to break the same part, 3 times on the same trail, on the same run....And they also admitted that it was a lot tougher than they thought it would be but because they drove so far to get there they were going to give it hell...LOL.. Nonetheless, I was just saying the FJ is tougher than it looks...even in stock form. A lot of folks think they are just a strange looking SUV or Soccermobile. It's actually quite far from that....

I just like ribbing FJ's.  When I first heard the name FJ I thought it was a Jeep then I was told it was a Toyota and all I could think was another vehicle wishing it was a Jeep.  I am sure it is capable and am looking forward to seeing it on a trail.  No hard feelings. ;D

The knick name F-Gay Cruiser really doens't fit.  I was impressed at  TFT with the black FJ that didn't break.  The guy who owned it was also a pretty good mechanic, he was the one who kept fixing the yellow one.  I was impressed with Scott's in stock form.  When we went to Mabell the biggest problem he had was ground clearance.  He was the one that didn't break.

Seabee_BUC:
With any luck, I'll be fixing the ground clearance issue soon...  ;D

clearance and tires.  the street tires really didn't allow the FJ to live up to it's potential
