    Well the girl and the dog will absolutely be there. The kids are possibly staying with their grandparents for the day though. They need to be dragged out into nature though, I don't think they've ever more then look at a forest while driving by.

    hahahaha, well at least that one!

    It was awesome on the trails. Coil springs, 32" tires, longer wheel base vs the YJ with Leafs, 29" tires and that 93" or whatever wheel base. Huge difference. I had no trouble with that spot that took 3 tries in the YJ. But they're different animals so there's really no comparison. The best thing though was I have AC and power windows now. That dusty trail doesn't leave me as dirty anymore.

    Roof Rack poll removed. Other needs came up and suspension is top priority. I'll repost it when I get ready to buy a roof rack again. See posts farther down for latest updates.

    Today's flex shot. Stock, sway bars connected. No the tire is not off the ground but it's close.

    Ok, finally was able to do some real offroading. Check out the videos. I've pointed out the times when my 4Runner is the star. Had great time, the guys that took us out there were awesome. I probably shouldn't have been out there with them, the terrain is pretty outrageous for Florida and I just did not have the clearance for some stuff. The 4Runner in stock trim is impressive though.

    Only got seriously stuck one time. They had to yank me off, and by yank I mean they bent my stock recovery hook a bit.

    Here's a shot of how close I was to that stump, it was stump, that everyone was pushing on my truck to get around. That's my door, I took that shot from the drivers seat to get you some perspective.

    Here's a pic of it dirty at the end of the day.
