I was sighted by ranger Jim in Santa Rosa today when I was getting my tires fixed. He was "lurking" in the shadows under an overpass in his all black rig so I didn't see him till the last second. Hi Jim.

Urban dictionary: Uberlander -

A smart sarcastic moron who thinks he's cooler than most people, which he is, but is to cocky to realize it.

Jim, I don't know weather to act offended, or just accept that you really have figured out who I am :.)

I'm thinking of changing my screen name to Uberlander36 now.

LOL, I had no idea, just playing off your name. I always thought "uber" whatever was like the "best" of something.

Not terribly exciting, but thought it interesting anyways – stopped at a traffic light a few blocks from my home last night when a 2010 TT pulls up to my right. I did what I could (short of honking) to get his attention, but driver never looked over. Thought it kinda surprising how a TT guy, of all FJ owners, shows no interest in acknowledging fellow FJers out on the roads.

Gave up on getting his attention and looked over his rig. Spotless! Stock BFG spare has never been touched - still had factory markings on the tread. Shame this TT seems destined for a life on the pavement.

Two days in a row, saw a lifted Sandstorm with sliders & Demello bumper getting out of Montessori in South City. I was in my wife's car yesterday. I think it has a NorCal FJ sticker in the back. Maybe I'll stop by the parking lot to check out your nice looking rig. :-)

Saw quite a few Monday as we were leaving. One was black with airhorns on the roof close to Tahoe. We were crawling up the mountain in a budget moving van with the FJ following... he laid on his horn and i nearly jumped out of my seat.

Good times.
