We’ve had the Power Wagon for a few months now and with a big move back to Alaska in the near future some items needed to be addressed. First on the list was adding a block heater. There is nothing really sexy or cool about a block heater so no pictures. Next up was some form of power...

We've reached a point with our growing family were space was becoming an issue and we felt like it was time for an upgrade, so welcome the Power Wagon! Coming from a pretty modified FJ Cruiser it has been quite a change adjusting to this behemoth of a rig, mostly due to wheelbase issues...

Here’s the deal. Making a trip up to Montana towards the end of September for a wedding. The plan for the return trip to Arizona is to spend 5 days exploring Utah and I’m throwing out an invite to anyone who wants to join me and my adventurous young family! So far the tentative plan is as...

I've only made a few trips to Moab over the years and with so much still to see, we vectored our rig north and left the heat of Phoenix behind us. This trip was to be a special one. My dad finally, after many years of waiting, secured himself his dream rig. With a little help from his son he...

When we bought our FJ Cruiser 4 years ago we didn't have any kids and overall space wasn't a big concern. After our oldest came along I new we had a choice to make; Either upgrade from the FJ to something bigger or, get a trailer. I was not at all interested in getting rid of my beloved rig...

On a trip not long ago my ARB ckma12 air Compressor quit working rendering my front air locker useless as well as not being able to air up the tires at trails end. I didn’t realize just how much I loved this piece of Gucci gear until quit on me. On the trail I started to trouble shoot...

Took the family out for a day excursion on the Tip Top Mine trail north of Phoenix in the Table Mesa OHV area. I’ve referenced this book before and it is a great resource for finding places to explore in AZ! This trail is #38 in the book. Our first stop was an old Indian fort over looking...

My in-laws were in town for the holidays and wanted to do some 4wheeling so we loaded up and headed out to drive the Back Way to Crown King, just north of Phoenix AZ. We hit the trail just before sunrise. One of my favorite signs to stumble across. A short way in we caught up with some kids...

How it currently sits Back in 2014, the wife and I were looking for an offroad/exploring/camping vehicle. Our goal was to find a gently used FJ, 4Runner, or JKU. We were living near Fairbanks AK at the time when we pulled into a used car lot and laid our eyes on a 2012 FJ Cruiser that...

I had such a great time on my first trip to Moab that I had to return! My 17yr old brother-in-law has taken an interest in off-roading but has limited experience and he drives a Camry. In fact, none of my in-laws have any off-road experience so I figured why not round us all up in Moab at the...

I've been away from the forum all summer due to vehicle repairs. Early June I had a failure of a lower control arm uni-ball. Saw this as an opportunity to rebuild the front end and replace bushings, uni-balls, wheel bearings, tie-rods, and then had the a-arms powder coated black. Towards the...

Finally made to Moab and got a chance to run Hells Revenge and Fins N Things! Had a blast playing on the rocks and exploring the limits of my FJ. It was also a great chance for me and my wife to strengthen our abilities as drivers and spotters! My rig is running General Grabber X3 in...

The FJ recently got some new shoes (General Grabber X3 315/70R17) and I finally got them off the pavement. I've only ever used all terrain tires in the past and I decided it was time to try something a little more aggressive. First impressions are good so far. I expected to hear some tire...

Picked up some General Grabber X3s for my 2012 FJ cruiser in 315/70R17. The FJ has an All Pro long travel lift. I only have a few road miles so far but I will update as soon as I get them in dirt! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Took a day trip checking out the Wickenburg Mountains here in Arizona. The trail was about 20 miles and took us the better part of 6 hours to complete. We recently picked up the book Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails second edition and followed trail #44 Fun road! Lockers...

So me and my family are new to Phoenix and will be moving into our new house just before Christmas. We won't be setting up a tree or decorating at all and I was thinking I needed to come up with something exciting for my family this year. I suggested we go camping and spend Christmas in the...
