FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Stoked to finally get an FJ

Howdy All!!

Been lurking for a while now and thought I would introduce myself. The pic is my new (to me) 2010 AT. I recently finished blacking out the lower points, door handles and tire cover, which has been an appetizer for more projects on this fun vehicle.

My first 4x4 was a '66 Scout, running 32s, that I loved to slam around as a teen. Then I had an '82 Bronco that had 4" lift, running 35s, that got all the ladies but not because of the off-road. ;p

Then marriage and kids kicked in and I did my best to stay driving a descent 4x4 with the Ford F250HDs. Went through 3 of those and then settled on a Ford Excursion with no lift for the family grocery-getter. My wife and I had a fun adventure in her RAV4 several years ago on Marshall Pass(I think), Colorado, on a trail with no real clearance, but we managed.

So, as I am researching a leveling kit and probably 2.5" to 3" lift and the "who knows what in the future" project build, I really appreciate all that have contributed to this forum.

Enjoying my new FJ is infectious right now. Tinkering and planning projects for it are all I can think about about. Yep the FJ "bug" bit hard HERE!

Thank you and I look forward to meet'in you'all.

Ryan

Welcome Ryan. The bug indeed. I was counting every mod I have done in the past 8 years, big and small while on a long drive home the other day and I just today thought of number 82.

You know, that stoke you are feeling just gets better when you take your rig out and see what they are capable of. I have a bit over 210,000 miles on mine and it is ready for it's next excursion.

Remember to wave!
