PIC4GOD - My rig and purpose...
Posted: Sun Oct 06, 2013 10:26 pm
So I recently signed up for my first Outdoor Adventure USA event, Borrego Fest. While I was at Fiesta Island for the Island Rendezvous, this will be my first with trail runs. After signing up I was asked to tell everyone a little about my rig.
Here are the specs:
2012 FJ Cruiser Trail Team Edition
ICON Stage 1 lift with UCA (Dialed in at 2.5")
BFG KM2 MT 255/80R17 (33" Pizza Cutters)
DO Aluminum Single Hoop Bump
TJM 9000 LB Winch
Arco Lights
Maggiolina Airland Medium RTT
Flat Baja Rack
ARB Fridge
Tuffy Security Drawer
The main purpose of all this gear is overlanding. I'm not about pushing the vehicle to the limit but about getting from point A to B. I'm a Network Engineer for my day job that pays the bills but the reason for the rig is my photography. I love doing landscape photography and with my previous vehicles I just wasn't getting back into the wilderness far enough or able to carry enough gear for an extended trip. Those problems are all in the past now and over the last year I built this FJ up. Now I'm planning trips left and right. While I have done a good deal of off-roading already, I still have a ton to learn and I look forward to wheeling with a group. Hope to see you all out at Borrego Fest.
