Re: 2009-03-28: Calico
If you have the Charles Wells book it is the Wall Street run frm that book...
It's kind of funny actually... If you guys tied back to that loop we did then you missed us by only a few miles/minutes. When we split up we went back up that road and just went straight instead of hanging a left to make the loop. We decided to see where that road took us. It turned out on top of that awsome overlook you see in the pictures.
We then turned around and came back the way we came in.

I'm sure you're glad we helped fix your jeep, too.Sunnygrill wrote: Thanks guys for helping out fix my junk!

Actually, working on your jeep (or watching) was a great education for me. Glad we could get you rolling again with the help of your friends from MJR, even though they did their fair share of slamming FJs.

Re: 2009-03-28: Calico
Despite the teasing some MJR members give the FJ, let's be fair - none of the guys who helped had broken their axles this trip, either, and they were willing to make a long trek and bring spare parts and tools to try and help out Nikos. So, when it came down to it, they were there to help. Would they have helped me in my FJ if I had broken down ? I'd like to think so - although the reason we contacted them is they would probably have spare Jeep parts, and I know they weren't carrying FJ Cruiser axles in their rigs....BlueFJ wrote:Slamming FJs?I don't see any pics of FJs with broken axles! Me thinks someone was venting their frustration.
