Phoenix Area Meet and Greet -- Pics have been added

[SidSincere]

Due to a lower than expected interest in this event we will be shortening it. The M&G will run from 11:00 to 1:30. It may run longer, but that can be decided by those who show up on Saturday. Hope to see you there.

lol. Maybe we should Instagram each other and call it good. Or give a one year subscription to Obamacare to everyone that shows up. But seriously it's always a good time when FSJers get together. No matter what size the group is.

I'm out now for sure. Between the shoulder surgery and the daughter being back at UCLA .

You are in our thoughts Bob. Good Luck.

6 FSJ's made it to the gathering:

Jeff "Locked and Loaded" -- Glendale --1981 J10
Tom "SidSincere" -- Tempe -- 1983 Cherokee
Jay -- Phoenix -- 19?? Cherokee
Drew -- "TUDrewser" -- Mesa -- 1990 Grand Wagoneer
Bob "Just Bob" -- Phoenix -- 1988 Grand Wagoneer
Jason -- Chandler -- 1991 Diesel Grand Wagoneer

It started out slow, but by the end of the M&G 6 FSJ's came out to visit. We shared stories and knowledge, Plus ate some good grub. I would like to thank the guys at 4WP for the use of their parking lot, restroom facilities and BBQ grill. plus they also gave 4 of us $25 gift certificates (one for each of us who was still there at the time).

My wife, Robin rode accompanied me. Drew's wife, Lisa, plus 3-1/3 of their children came out for the afternoon. Jay's brought his lady, Carey. Jeff, Bob and Jason showed up solo.

I had a great time!!!

Definitely worth the trip! I think Lisa and Robin hit it off too. Plus, the 4Wp guys were awesome... They even hooked my 5 year old up with a free 4WD of road track fame that he had been playing with all afternoon. Wad a good time!

I wish I could have made it. I was able to retrieve the Jeep from 'moms house' yesterday. The tail light area damage isn't good but it isn't as bad as I rememberd it.
The tags are not current so driving it to Phoenix and back seemed kind of risky. It's not like it blends in...

So I hope to get it past emissions soon and then maybe we can meet up on a trail?

Hey Mike, What happened to your FSJ?

Hey Mike, What happened to your FSJ?

A little more than the 'usual' trail damage...





Some to the door but not bad:


A small scratch on the bumper:


The sliders came in handy:


This was all on the same trail. Lower Terminator. And I even bypassed a couple of the 'hard lines'. LOL
