Hi all, Travis here from the northern tip of VA, but I work all over the place. I run a mostly stock 2010 FJ Cruiser with an ARB roof rack (gold!) and a homemade drawer set in back. Have gotten stuck a few times at work, but am generally easy to get out.
As far as experience goes, I guess my first real experience with overland-type travel was overseas in an FJ76.... that thing was sweet, and I drove it through mud, sand, bad roads, and a very questionable bridge or two. I get out and play in the mountains every so often, but nothing too serious, since I’ve been working a lot since I got the FJ Cruiser last spring. Have taken it out to Corolla, NC for my daughter’s birthday last summer, and that was a blast!
Anyway, it’s meant to be an adventure wagon to support my mountain biking/trail running/camping habits, so I’ll be getting after it some more at the end of February.
