A few of us have put together a small card that explains some of the benefits of using Amateur (HAM) radio. You can download the PDF here

Ok, now that you're sold on HAM Radio....checkout this link for our upcoming HAM Study Day & you'll be all set!

From Jackie S.:

I (Jackie - TonysBlueFJ) arrived at 10am at help set up for the event. The Scion people were already there, boy did they have some awesome cars. Anyway, I set our FJ in the prime position, one wheel up on a ramp. This event was a Poker Run & Classic Car Show. The COFJ'ers were invited guests through Stevinson East. We did speak to some potential buyers on the FJ.

The TT (Trail Team) was there with us, taking pics of everyone and everything. We enjoyed there company. The TT and FJ'ers took a run down Havana and did a pic op. That was the end for the day.

Sunday, June 22, Trail Run - Argentine Pass.

We met at Empire Sports - Downieville. Tony and I were running late, how unusual for us. When we came down the ramp off the highway we couldn't believe our eyes. A sea of FJ's, what a beautiful sight. Just before we pulled out the TT gave a short talk on trail etiquette. We then lined up, Bill and Athena (athenaceleste) were the trail leaders and we were asked to gun.

In lining up to get back onto the highway, you wouldn't believe your eyes, 18 FJ's, the TT Tacoma, and a modified Jeep (athena's sis and B/F). What a breathtaking sight.

On to Argentine Pass . . . All I can say is absolutely beautiful. There are water crossings, hills to play on, narrow roads, and scenery that can't be beat. Lunch was served on top, Fried Chicken, Cole Slaw, Pasta Salad, and Tres Leche's Cake. YUMMO. A brief lesson by the TT on proper usage of a winch.

Back down and our Good Bye's. What a wonderful day, weather, new and old friends. The TT was awesome, look forward to seeing them in Ouray.

What an amazing turn out for our Miller Rock / Skid comparison run on father’s day (June 15th)! There were a total of 13 FJ’s, and not ONE Sun Fusion (I think that’s a first).

Miller Rock is listed as a 5/10 on Traildamage.com , but we all agreed it’s currently closer to a 7/10, it’s definitely the most difficult run I’ve ever done. Still, we had several mostly stock FJ’s make it through with no problems. Bill, Don, and Eric did an amazing job spotting everyone through the tough parts. Thanks to Eric I even managed to get through a major obstacle sans locker AND A-Trac.

We found a great dirt burm to test all the different types of skids on (those pics will be in the July issue of FJC Magazine ). Of course I was the only one to get high centered & STUCK on the burm. A quick pull from Bill & I was back on the trail, but not before trying every trick in the book with a full audience.

The view from the top of Miller Rock was amazing as well; unfortunately we took so many pics of skids that we ran out of room in the camera. It was another really great day with a great group, the Colorado FJ’s certainly know how to have a good time!
