Diane!!! hope you & George are doing well! Yes the profile pic from that trip haha, I still employ the "butt coals" that I learned about on that trip.

As a few others have done so I'll do as well... Originally joined back in the early 2000's. Did the Devils Highway with the group back in 2010, useless fact I was born in Ajo. 🤪 Use to rock a 93XJ (miss that heap sometimes) switched over to an 07 FJ, but life happens, job stuff, family stuff, divorce add in some self destruction and it was time to reboot - start over. While I don't really wheel I do still enjoy the outdoors and get out as much as possible. current rig is a 2011 Toyota Sequoia Limited, 2" lift with 33" tires and Tundra rims, Someone backed into the front end a couple years ago a few days after it was paid off (the ole no good dead goes unpunished) So upgraded the grill, headlights and added in the MOVE weld "yourself" bumper, yes it was tested against a Lincoln sedan that couldn't maintain its lane in a double left turn... yes I won 🤭 in 2020 we got a 30' travel trailer that suited us well for many years, we towed it to Navajo Lake UT summer of 24 for a family vacation and that was our sign that we needed a bigger tow rig, so later that year we got a 2018 Ram 2500. Very capable of pulling that camper... Then the wife spotted a 2025 Keystone Cougar Hero Edition and yeah... We now have a new 5th wheel. (Green is our favorite color) As mentioned we don't really wheel now, but do get out as much as we can to enjoy the outdoors, We'll be headed up to the Rim country tomorrow as we're assisting on the Mogollon Monster 100 mile foot race, we're both HAM's and are volunteering to support this event. (I'm also a tower climber for the ARA) If were not doing that were at Apache Lake on our jet skis (or I'm racing my ski in Parker with the ADBA)

That's how I seen / found this was from the 4x4HAM site. Good job guys at the cross posting!

Jeep's huh? so they probably don't want us FJ'ers around

Stolen in fall of 08 only gone for 13hr crackhead is still in jail (kingman) till 2015 Not into the rock crawling anymore, the FJ suits our needs now. Couple reason for sale, 1 huge layoff at work a few weeks ago, sale would give me some $$ cushion 2 also thinking of getting some Jet Skis as we frequent the lake.

I did! Bought some ARB switches and installed them in the center console. All the LEDs & flashers are working. Since I posted up here Ive done a 3"lift so Ill try and get some pictures up later this weekend.

Ahh yes the failed sobi bomb.. but did get our attention And yes Sir that is the Gadsden Flag Bought a brush guard off CL a few weeks ago, finally got it installed last Saturday. Today my Rough Country lift arrived so that will be this weekends project.

Yeah it was a hectic 2012... Changed employers in Feb, and have been a bit busy with work & other non wheeling activities.

April of 2012, sold our 2x4 2002 Durango and got a 2008 Toyota FJ... Yes still have the XJ too. Since kids are grown & gone we no longer needed a vehicle with a 3rd row seat AND we were ready for a more "comfortable" 4x4 rig.

Ham test online is also a very good online study guide, I used this when I upgraded from my Tech to General and may possibly hit it again for my Extra. The 4x4Ham group will also be holding a test session at our annual Field Day Trip 6/23/2012 And here is a link to some more License info. http://www.4x4ham.com/forumdisplay.php?31-Getting-your-Amateur-License-Questions-amp-Answers

Good idea to re-connect the A/C stuff dirt & moisture + freon = nasty mess. Hit me up when your ready to re-charge the A/C I have dry Nitrogen & a vacuum pump (pressure test with the N2 & blow out any foreign stuff that maybe in the system, then vacuum the system to make sure its totally clean & charge)

Whoops been a bit busy last few days haven't been on the forums much. Thanks for the birthday wishes

Sale Pending and SOLD

Well the time has come, I got this in May 2007 and by the next day was on my way to Canyon DeChelly. Over all the M101 has been a great asset, helped on several clean up's and even help move us into our house. She has endured 2 trips to Canyon DeChelly, Devils Highway, Broken Arrow, to-from Vegas a few times and even a trip into Utah via Vegas & back. I really wish I could keep this and still execute my plan but being in an HOA community & having limited funds I think this is the way to go. Goal is to sell / trade for a pop up tent trailer this way Jen & the dag's can come along on camping trips & be more comfortable. 1992 CDN M101 1/4ton trailer Has the upgraded wheels (from metric to accept 5x4.5 jeep rim) and also has a mounted spare Hand brake, 7pin plug, original camo tarp. 3/4" plywood top that opens to 8' Asking 2,500 OBO & / or trade for a pop up tent trailer.
