I've been spotted again! My wife is in the park for the weekend and had to move it out of my driveway to give here a spot to park. Sorry I missed you, I was at home close by on "the Ahwahnee Row." Cheers!

A 4-FJ day, too bad I wasn't in mine.

This morning in Merced.

Then I got back to Yosemite, boom, three more in a row.

Lower Yosemite Falls

Yosemite Lodge

And moments later, also at Yosemite Lodge

Sand storm could have been me.

Or it could have been another guy I also saw yesterday near Brokaw Rd.

His looked un wheeled with 0 stickers.

Mine has a norcal and some other stickers on it.

You'd probably need a snorkel for that drive too ;)

I saw 14 altogether on Maui, although some of them might be repeats.

There was a Black Cherry and a bunch more silver ones (both kinds). No green, and no Cavalry Blue. No TTs.

All of them were stock, as opposed to the Maui way of lift/tire/wheel combos. They use a pretty big lift, and wide but short tires on a really wide wheel. I started noticing this trend about 10 years ago, and they still do it, for the most part.

You can see an example on the pic below.
