Another Toyota Jambo in the books! Every year it’s family tradition, and this is our 3rd event. Always been a blast.

My wife and I couldn’t make it on Thursday because of the work schedule. But we made it early morning breakfast on Friday.

Tony was able to get in Jambo Thursday morning, and get us nice camp spot. Though it seemed Jambo was a full event, I didn’t notice much campers this year.

Lots of Land Cruisers this year.

My recent mod of going 35″ tires, and 5″ lift was a noticeable difference in wheeling. In certain sections, others were having issues, mine crawled over it like a mountain goat.

Unfortunately Mike Jones was on a night trail and sustained a good amount of trail damage. He hit a rock and broke the spindle. Thankfully the other Mike, who wheeled his Tundra, was there and got a uhaul trailer to tow it back to Austin. Thankful for really good friends.

I got some trail damage too. The AC belt snapped, thankfully I was able to fix it with a quick stop to Autozone before wifey, the dogs, and I made the trip back to Houston. Having AC in the afternoon summer is a must have.

The side step got damage. I unfortunately hit a tree root hidden in a mud hole. I guess its time for a new sliders.

I had a really great time with my friends. We spent 3 days just camping, off-roading, and cooking good food. Its all about the experience, including the good and bad. What matters the most are the people you surround yourself with.
