We're heading to Overland Expo at Mormon Lake, AZ next week via a 3 day mini-vaca to Ridgway, CO. The FJC crew rolls out of Colorado Springs first thing Saturday morning, but there are a few minor things we need to take care of before we head out:

• Clean the MORV trailer so Jim (Tacoma Magazine) can pull it to Mormon Lake
• Change the oil & grease the drivetrain on the FJC
• Give the FJ a much needed bath & detailing
• Setup the DropCam (live.zaxyn.com) to cover the FJ Cruiser teardown at Redline Land Cruisers
• Pack the family for our journey
• Verify the National Luna dual batteries & Indel-B Fridge (from Equipt - booth #20 at the Expo) are good to go

What are you doing to prepare for the trip? We look forward to seeing everyone in Arizona!!

 

All of your east-coast FJ lovers listen up! The FJ Bruisers will once again host their Spring Mud Fling this May at Rausch Creek Off Road Park in PA. This is a great event with a long history, so get over to their website & check it out!

We just noticed that Toyota has updated their FJC site with an all new design. It looks like it's a complete redesign of their site, we're pretty happy with the features.

The on-page comparison with a basic Jeep Wrangler is nice, as are the details related to off-road in general. The site has a bit of a 'cartooney' feel, but overall it's an improvement over the last version, which was over 6 years old.

What do you think of the new site?

 

The FJ Northeasters have announced their 6th Annual Northeast Run!

The event will be held at Rausch Creek OHV park on March 29th-31st and promised to be a great time :)

In addition to great trail runs and sponsors that will be attending the event, the Northeasters will also be:

• Leading trails for new FJ Owners and other novice drivers.
• Providing winching & recovery demonstrations.
• Conducting trail etiquette seminars.

While the $70 registration fee doesn't cover access to the park, it does cover a catered dinner & raffle (Saturday evening) at the Twin Grove Campground's private lodge, a T-Shirt, and one FJNE sticker.
