No more Dodge...
#1
With the kids grown & gone (YES!) its time to down size a bit, no longer need the Durango & we want something that also has 4wheel drive (one of my biggest gripes on the Durango) Heather is now the proud owner of a 2002 Durango :)

And as some of you have guessed from the random photo posted last week.




2008 Toyota FJ
82K miles, 4x4 rear dif lock & A-track plus all that traction control stuff (FYI its fun going 50-60mph down a dirt road, start to drift / get sideways and have it kick it and make you straight again) <-- that had Heathers BF covering his eyes & screaming like a girl on the Apache trail road.
4.0L V6 5speed auto. Jen's favorite color is Blue (this is the Voodoo blue) This will allow Jen to be more comfortable on some of those rare wheeling trips she goes on.
Future plans...
2-3" Old-man Emu lift & 33" tires
Tow hitch
Lights
Ill post pics as it progresses...

#4
very nice. private seller or dealer?
#5
I just noticed it has 3 windshield wipers. That's silly
#6
Dealer :( yup that hurt & is gonna hurt for some time
Avis... 2 wipers wont do it, narrow windshield (speaking of mine is sand pitted more than I like)

When your in it due to the roof being so far forward it feels like your wearing a hat (in a good way) Jen also likes the little side glass sun visors (have to admit I do too)

Day trip to Flag last Saturday, it did good, it also needs a LIFT!!!! that skid plate got smacked quite a few times but nothing serious.
A few romps thru some mud holes & I got her dirty. Our trip was Home to Munds park, Mormon lake, then Flag a little trip to Belmont to check on the roads for future event. then over to Ash Fork, then to Prescott. on our way out of Prescott we got a cool look at that moon peeking up between the mountains. As we passed Anthem I heard a loud bang, pulled over and the driver side door plastic trim flew off :( other than that it did great & we had a good time average 19mpg too
