hey fellas,
I recognize some of you from the Mud board. Looking forward to meeting some of you during Cruise Moab '06 and others during my visit to Phoenix in mid April.
Like Locrwln dude, I too am from Reno but live in ILL-ANNOY for right now. We're hoping to move to ALBQ, NM this year if all goes well. My offroading usually trips begin with a min 1,000 mile road trip and we're getting very tired of this. We want to move closer to where we play.
The Ali family has been doing long camping trips in a RR and now in the FZJ80. Of course, I like the LC much better for many reasons. Some of our trips are posted at http://photos.yahoo.com/alia176. I'm not a computer dude, so this site is full of bunch of pics of past trips, lots of mods to the Cruiser, family pets and of course the latest arrival, Isabelle Ali. On the cover of each trip folder there is a pdf map detailing the trip.
My next fun trip will take me from ALBQ to Richfield, UT through mostly back roads and fire roads...I hope. I've come up with a random agenda that'll get fine tuned every day until the day of departure! So far it's about 700 miles of mostly back roads and minimal hwy. I'm alotting myself min three days for this trip. If I wasn't going to Richfield for work, I'd drag it out a bit longer.
My vehicle is a '96 FZJ80 that is full of long haul amenities such as dual tanks, dual batts, GPS stuff, on board shower (working on it), OBA using York, etc.. I like to describe my rig as a jack of all trades and master of none. It has been an absolute blast tinkering with this fine automobile. But I am very conscientous of adding unnecessary weight due to the fact that I don't have a TRD supercharger and never will!
Anyway, see ya on the trails!
Ali
