The Wookie

"She may not look like much but she has it where it counts" Han Solo.

     This FJ60 has been called a minivan, gas hog, and a rust bucket. When such a name was given it always provided me with the opportunity to say one of my favorite quotes from the movie Star Wars "She may not look like much but she has it where it counts" and she does have it where it counts.

   This 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser is built to smash through the toughest terrain. It is the Japanese military truck, once in a bidding war with hummer over the American military contract.It is an awesome strait six crawling machine designed to get the job done. I have owned it for five years and it is older than I am and still running strong.

   Through out this blog I will be referring to "The Wookie". The Wookie is my trusted co adventurer, that will be taking us on our future journey.  It got its name from its brown body, its reliability, and its ability to overcome (not to mention the Chewbacca bobble head on the dash). For the sake of this blog we will be taking this Wookie through the deserts, mountains, and trails of Utah in search of adventure, glory, and rare antiquity's.

   It is my pleasure to welcome you to this blog. It is my hope that you join us in the driver seat, as the Wookie and I take you on these adventures. As the bumper sticker and Back to the Future so elegantly put it "Where we're going we don't need roads".
