Great pictures too by the way, but they always are!
Yea, it's an AT. Steep descents aren't a problem for the truck but I'm still getting used to them. I've been using 4 Lo and downshifting to first. Crawls along just fine. This run was a huge confidence builder for me. I'm finally starting to get a feel for the FJ's limits and I'm really happy with how I set it up.

Glad you like the photos.
Willie H wrote:Great video, how much bumper did you leave behind pulling out lol. Your truck is looking SWEET too! Looks sick with the black roof!
Heh, bumper is still intact, exhaust tip, not so much. :lol: Really happy how the roof came out especially since it was DIY project with my father-in-law. Looks much better than white.
