That is Miss FJ from the fruiserforums site.
Her rig still has the stock crappy factory tires on it too.
The only addition she has is a pair of welded on sliderz.

That is wet slick rock she ran too.
Pretty impressive for a stock FJC.

You would not find me doing that.
This is the most expensive rig I have ever owned, and I could not do that.

I would not mind riding in someone elses but I do not think I would take my only mode of transportation and do that.

One slip and its gone for good.

saw that clip too. very impressive. she did have a minor slip, but i think just keeping forward momentum and not stopping will get ya to the top....and of course listening/watching spotter commands.

c'mon corey..if a girl can do it in her stocker...you can too you think its all driver skill? its all fj skill haha

We were out there also that week - it rained so much Noah was fabbing up an ark in the hotel parking lot. For as wet as it was, the slickrock still had an amazing amount of traction.

MissFJ (Amanda) is quite a driver - stays calm and listens to her spotter. The spotters for that run were excellent too (the FJ Trail Team).

Not only was her run impressive, but if you have ever been over to fjcruiserforums.com and seen her pics, you would agree that she is pretty impressive as well!

Man, I want an FJ more than ever now that I've seen that!

That was pretty sweet. I think the low stance of the FJ helps on a climb like that.

Characteristic of a manual transmission.
