Hello everyone,
My name is Hanibal from West Covina. I meet Raygunn today in line at the test driving off road event at the Pomona expo. It was the first time I stepped inside an FJ to test it out off-roard. I own a 08 Black/White FJ with the works, ATRAC, Rear Diff, front Grill bar and top roof rack. I did not get the rock side bars, but I will. I hated giving the dealer more of my $$ since I knew its cheaper elsewhere.
RayGunn was a cool cat, and it was fun chatting it up with him and talking all things off-road related to FJ's. He mentioned the website and his username name. After checking you guys out and following some of the links to events and such, this seems like a cool place to hang out and plan trips.
I can normally go for day long trips- my wife and I have a 3 month old baby boy, so i still need to be somewhat close just in case. The cool thing is that the FJ was her idea for a family car for her-she even gave up her 2006 Infiniti G35coupe since it was not baby friendly. We both loved the FJ since it was a concept back in the days of the LA Car Shows. She loves the idea of off-roading in a safe a secure manor. I told her about you guys a few minutes ago, and she says so long as our boy can ride along and stay on safe trails, she likes the idea of going out with groups for safety reasons. I agree of course.
Anyways :
I look forward to checking out the first couple of trips with the FJ Clan. I'm sure I will need to buy things in advance for trips, so if you guys link me to a posting for what i may need, that would save me some browsing time.
Store wise, I have a brand new Super AutoBachs in the area. It's a well known store and they have alot of off-roading gear. I have a 4-wheel parts also in Azusa, although they have a somewhat bad rep regarding customer service. There is a Berts Mega Mall also with some pushy sales reps with equally annoying reps: Who really knows until I check them out I suppose.
Sorry for my long winded intro, but it's best to let it all out I suppose.
