Jeez Michael! Do you and Claudia still work? Seems like you have been wheeling all over the Southwest in the past few months

I really like those new Fj's Toyota has come out with. I might try talking the wife into getting one

Nice Shots Michael! Looks like you had a great time.
Thanks for all the detail on the trip.
I'm glad you didn't tell us that the FJ's made widow maker look easy
because I know it's not. Glad to see they tried it though.
We all missed you at EJS but we'll see you at BB I hope.
Love the grill addition and the new bumper/winch look good.

Great photos. I had a 72 FJ40 that I dropped a 327 into. To this day I kick my self in the ass for selling that thing. It was a tank and couldnt be stopped

Cool Michael, I like the new pic's you added. Some of those obstacles look pretty gnarly

 

[GotBoykins]

Great pics!

Regarding the license plates...My old '88 Porsche came up as some sort of Oldsmobile when I drove through Forest, MS. Either that or the local boys were having some fun with me! Either way I didn't get a ticket for cruising the passing lane (sorry, we don't treat it that way too much down in Austin, TX....just lucky I wasn't speeding at the time!).

Come on out, Great Falls to Moab is pretty much the same distance as Omaha to Moab. I know, because that was one of the first things I checked after having interviewed for a job in Great Falls last summer . And the drive ought to be a lot more scenic than the drive thru the plains .

Strangly enough once you hit the monida pass at the montana Idaho border the drive after that is nearly as mind numbing as going through the plains states.

Man I miss Moab, there is some stuff there that scares the crap out of me. Launching pad and Skyline drive both scare me. Awesome pics thanks for sharing

I know, because that was one of the first things I checked after having interviewed for a job in Great Falls last summer . And the drive ought to be a lot more scenic than the drive thru the plains . Of course, I can say all that since I haven't seen the fuel bill - yet . At 1 gallon/hour on the trails, 11-12mpg on the freeway, this is going to fall in the 'priceless' category...

I have graduated into the "tow the blazer" category and plan on visiting Moab for my first time in Oct. Unfortunately I'll be riding with a friend. I will take the wife there next time after the AF moves us next summer. We're gunning for an assignment to CO, which should bring us a bit closer.
