Had a pretty darn American Weekend

Went up American Fork Canyon with VicariousILive and my wife's family in from out of state(s).

Got to try out my new ARB 2 meter awning. Love it.

Forest Lake, up American Fork Canyon

Shooting bb guns at cans.

Headed back down trail, I made a guess that this is ~30 degrees tilt, 33-35 is the pucker zone for rollover with a lifted FZJ80

The trail was like this the whole way, except way narrower

Lunch at Tibble Fork reservoir, hellava view. Mt. Timpanogos (11,752) in the BG

Airing up.

So aside from driving Japanese trucks we were feeling pretty 'Murican. Good times for sure.

Banged up the skid plates pretty good on the Tacoma but aside from a slightly bend tailpipe, nothing damaged (okay, some rocky mountain pinstripes too)

God I love those Cruisers. Almost got one, we had told the seller that we'd take it, but he said he had a buyer who told him online "Don't sell it, I'll buy it in a couple of days." We didn't think he would. He did.

It really was better than I was hoping; Loved it.

you might want to add a dented rear fender to the damage to the Tacoma. Noticed it this morning. Next time I'll take some time to check out the line before proceeding

Where is the dent? in the plastic fender or on the box? Same side as exhaust?

Nice man! I live out in Eagle mountain, but haven't had a chance to make it up the canyon yet!

Nah this was 3 months ago, and it was dark green.

Tibble fork is a quick easy drive in any car and if you fancy a good canyon to carve the alpine loop is one the best driving roads ever...just make sure to do it early morning before the crowds.

on the lower side of the box. Opposite side of muffler

bummer, think it will pop out since the box is composite?

Do you have sway bar disconnects? Wouldn't that help on the rollover angle?

Hey Andrew, thanks for the share! I wasn't expecting that. It was a fun trip and I can't wait to do it again.

Ugh, makes me remember that I would rather live in the rockies.
