Just checking in!
Hello All,
I'm new to this forum, most of my lurking time is spent on 'Mud, but this site has some great info and folks for expeditions which I intend to do more of this coming year. (really trying to justify the Mojave trail in early January!). No doubt will run into some of the same folks here as on Mud.
I've been a Toyota owner for almost forever, currently own a '95 FZJ80 with some mods, mostly set up for expeditions (as opposed to serious rock crawling). Also own a '74 FJ40 that my two sons and I restored several years ago, and a '94 Toyota mini-truck. Wife drives a Sienna but that's not 4 wheel drive so it really doesn't count, right?
I am looking forward to getting out with folks with some common interests in the outdoors, off-roading, 2-ways, etc.
Clearly, I need to allocate a little surfing time over here.
Thanks, Dan.

I'm going to try to go on the Mojave trip as well.
Where where those photos taken? (edit: oops, i see they were in Moab)
BTW, that 80 looks like a '96. How did you find one without a sunroof?

)

I'm assuming that cowboy is pointing out the direction of the trail with his only uninjured finger...
