Nice. Love my FJ Cruiser. Such a capable vehicle, and when taken care of can go to 400k miles.

We have a FJ Cruiser with a factory rack. We had to McGiver a cross bar to accommodate our box. So no room on the rack. Maybe when we build the platform we can make some changes.

And I know that you know what will fit in a FJ Cruiser. We travel with our 2 dogs too.

The backroads in Amador County.

Love that kitchen box. Wish something would work like that in my rig.

We ground tent. This works best for us. We have dogs. One of them doesn’t like even like jumping in the truck much less getting him up a ladder. The biggest ‘problem” we have is when we go on a group ride everyone seems to have an agenda and needs to get out early. We have made the conscious...

I have asked and answered questions in the Q&A. And have not yet received the trophy. Is this a bug in the software? what am I missing. Thanks.

Great advise. Just got an Garment I reach 2. Have not been out much alone except close to home. We did the Lost Coast, A trail in Northern Nevada from Sparks to Virginia City, Mendocino National Forest, Nd Stanislaus National Forest. We are trying to understand the trail ratings and watching...
