This FJ looks super clean. Everyone so far has posted pics of their giant 4WD trucks. Does that mean I can't post my 97 2wd tacoma?

What base did you start with, or is it a full custom buildup, come on man stats on the RC crawlers.

400whp(rough)800wtq(rough) the diesel shop in walnut creek has a shop truck with damn near the same setup and his numbers were what i posted above.
as for the water crossings at fordcye,just after the jeep jamboree i crossed the first and second water crossing by using my winch line a a anchor. i rolled up the windows and powered on through. sketchy as hell but damn fun..

I agree and I have done 90% of the trails in norcal but right now its my only vehicle as my subaru is on the rack, so I try not to get too brave. I also agree that driver skill plays more into wheeling than anything else. Having ***** of steel helps too. I have gone to the first water crossing of Fordyce in my rig but thats it. I will contemplate Rubicon next year after I get back from Moab.

I've had two Jeeps, both sold now as I can only afford to have one vehicle.
my first jeep: simple 3" pro-comp lift on 31s
my second jeep: 4" Skyjacker lift, 31s, jks disconnects, SYE, flowmaster, etc. I miss this rig sometimes.
