    Thank you!

    Went out to Elvis in Florence, AZ this weekend with friends for the first dirt trip with the FJ. It did great.

    Looks like you need stronger sliders. Are those dents and gouged spots in the pipe? Looks fun though. How's the visibility in the fj? I rode in one off-road before and it was like being in a tank compared to the Tacoma. I couldn't see shit. Haha

    No dents, just gouges. Same thing happened with other brand slides I had on my tacoma on this trail and the other rigs as well. Just the name of the game. Add some paint and good to go.

    Yeah it hard to see if you aren't used to it. I need a bit more seat time on the trail to get used to the width and wheel placement of it. But all in all I think the guys would agree that I did okay on my first trip in the dirt with it Being that I took its first trip out on a hard trail. Also I have only had it for 3 weeks and it still has the Temp plate on it lol

    On the FJ Forum they have a guy that makes a custom grill badge every year for the FJs and here is the 2015 one. Pretty rad!
