Who's going to Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer, TX this Thursday May 1 thru Sunday May 4 for the 19th annual Jambo?

Weather should be nice.

 

Woah!!!
This is a blast from the Past!!!
Went to the Jambo when they first started having them.
The last one I was at was at Barnwell!!!

 

Will be camping at high rollers

 

Is colin coming? I bet polo would recognize where he’s at if colin’s there.

 

Marble Falls Colin, with the TRD Pro 4Runner? He usually camps closer to the pavilion

 

Yea, he was holding polo like a baby cause he was about chihuahua size. A big help getting polo to trust me within the first few days.

then that a-hole stole my truck.

 

I think you're thinking of my old roommate, Cory, who also has a fifth gen T4R.

 

Yessir. Sorry. Kinda bad with names.

 

Definitely not the size of a chihuahua

 

A Chihuahua with gigantism maybe?

 

Man I could so do this, only 6 1/2 hours away. How come I am just now hearing about it?

 

it's kind of a big deal, especially on Tacoma World, so I'm surprised it's not really mentioned much here by anyone else.

 

Not something i would do in my Tundra.
In a Tacoma Yeah.
You're guaranteed Redneck Pinstriping in a Tacoma I cant imagine what it would do to a full sized truck like the Tundra!!!
Been thinking about building a dedicated off roader for this very reason.
Beat the crap out of it and drag it home on a trailer.

 

Gonna be a muddy one.

 

It's hot as ball soup here. It's supposed to be in the mid 60's tonight and rain tomorrow. I can't wait. I just hope my topper doesn't leak too much.

LOL....Reminds me of when Shannon Brookshire was exiting a huge mud pit up there and couldnt see for Shit and drove right into the side of a guys Tacoma.
On the plus side he worked for a Toyota Dealer and had it fixed at no cost.

 

Not only is it Hot all the iron in the soil will turn your tires a shade of blue when it's muddy.
Weird Stuff!!

 

Luckily it's been nice and cool since dark last night. Light sprinkles

 

Yeah...that place gets Nasty when it's wet!!!
Some of the hill climbs become impossible to run!!

 

My FJ coming out of an obstacle at Barnwell......
Made Mr. October in a Calendar.
I believe it was called Twister....for obvious reasons.

 

Looks like they're getting some rain at Barnwell....
Gonna be a nasty slippery Mess if it rained a decent amount!!

 

I've said it before and I'll never stop saying it....
"FJ people are crazy"

 

LOL...Wouldnt be the first time someone called me that.
I flopped it several times....
I really miss it!!
That thing would pretty much go wherever you pointed it!!
The weight distribution made for a top notch offroading vehicle!!

 

Considering buying an old one and do the solid axle swap.
My only issue would be getting the Wife to tow the camper while I towed the FJ.

 

Marble Falls has some Great Wheeling!!!
That pink granite is grippy as all get out!!!

 

I'm from Texas obviously by my screen name.
The Guys in Cali/Vegas held a run from Vegas to Southern California through the desert.
You only crossed a few roads the entire trip!!!
Went up and visited a Buddy in Vegas and went on that run.
It was a crazy good time!!
The wheeling was absolutely BAD ASS!!!
I'm Jealous as all get out about the wheeling available there!!
Texas is 98% privately owned so ya gotta rely on people opening off road parks.

 

Thinking back it was the All Pro Calendar.
Which makes sense when you see all the All Pro parts on my FJ.

 

Towed the Taco w/ the Tundra. Glad I did.

 

Upon getting her home, what's the damage report? Anything bent?
