    I assume you have to pay a fee when you get to the reservation to get down that path or no?

    Only if there is someone manning the gate. When I got there no one but there was someone when I left and paid the $25.

    No, you take a dirt road for 23 miles then take a right and head in another 6-8 miles (can't remember) to that point. Its about 30 dirt miles to the spot.

    I didn't work for 6 months last year It wasn't as cool as I thought lol But you should get out here before it get too cold. That spot is really exposed and can get windy if there is wind

    Not sure why all of my pictures died in here. Haven't had to done anything to the FJ really other than maint. I did clay bar and wax the intire thing a few weeks back and the paint is looking good again and I'm not worried about it getting stained anymore. I hadn't waxed it and forever and I was having a issue with dirt and mud sticking in the paint. Only new mod is I have a ARB compressor that I need to install under the hood. Outside of that its still running great and takes me anywhere I need to go. The most used item I have is still my ARB Fridge. Best $500 I've spent on the FJ.

    Now that I am thinking about it I am planning on sending my coilovers and rear shocks to ICON to be rebuilt. Its something I can do myself but after all said and done I won't be saving enough to do it. I'm also thinking of upgrading the Coilovers to have the CDC adjusters.

    I still hit light trails about every month to get to a hiking or climbing spot but no crazy wheelin' trips. Went to Sedona last weekend and that was a great time taking people that have never been out there. My focus has shifted more and climbing and international travel.
