Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
 

In cased you missed it, I was paraphrasing you, dumbdick.
And all I see is an FJ ON potato salad where are the rest of the pics or the video of it completing it.

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
 

Where do you get that no H3s have attempted nor completed PS? What makes you think one hasn't?

Not according to the owner

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
 

Now, that's just being stupid. To my knowledge the H3 has been, en masse to every major trail/ORV park in the US on more than one occasion. You post a bunch of pics of non-owners running some trails and the one or two others in the world that have done something and have the ridiculous balls to make that comment.

Oops, sorry. My bad. After further checking that does indeed fall in-line with nearly every other comment you've made here. So, it's nothing new for you.

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
 

I definitely think the FJ is in the same ballpark as the H3. On-road, the FJ wins ... but off-road it's all H3.

I test drove 2 FJ Cruisers a couple of weeks ago. The engine pulls strong and the driving position is very comfortable. Lots of headroom, shoulder room and elbow room (similar to the H3), and plenty of room between the gas and brake pedals (more than in the H3).

The H3 feels more solid around corners, has fewer blind spots, and has 4 real doors, but those are the H3's only advantages in town. The FJ kicked its butt in acceleration, passing, and on-highway agility because of its more powerful drivetrain. Both the FJ's 5-spd auto and 6-spd manual shifted smooth as silk.

Even so, I have no doubts about the H3's ability to smoke the FJ offroad. Its stance, clearance, skid plates (FJ's are plastic), wheel travel, torque/crawl ratio and turning radius (despite the FJ's smaller wheelbase) are all superior to the FJ. Once the 2007 H3s come out with the 3.7L I-5, its on-road performance will only improve.

As far as looks go, the H3 wins hands down. The FJ looks like a frikkin eggmobile :rolleyes: I'm definitely getting a 2007 H3.

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3

How do like my rides!! :D

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
 

The FJ is the best thing that could have happened to this Forum. Now you have something to talk about.

New here, love this topic as I just got back from an event (the GSMTR) where the Toyota Trail Team showed up. I hope to interject some reason to this (admittedly entertaining) thread.

Toyota has formed three FJ Cruiser Trail Teams. West, Central and East Coast. These three teams of two FJCs each go to off-road events large and small and wheel all the trails. Plus, they let drivers wheel them, and not just on on fire road stretches. They let you wheel them up obstacles. Very cool.

The FJ does very well offroad. It uses traction control or an e-locker to do this. It wheeled Moab. It did the entire Rubicon trail in STOCK form. See pics here: http://www.4wdtoyotaowner.com/FJCruiser.html. It's been to GSMTR, Hollister Hills, Paragon, etc. So there's no doubt it performs well off-road.

Quality: clear winner, Toyota. Not trolling here. Simple fact. Hummer isn't even close. Here's the link.

Whoever that complete dork "Aubs" is who keeps talking about the FJC "being a threat to the the H3", what the hell is that about? If you want to wheel a Hummer, buy one. If you want to wheel an FJ Cruiser, buy one. "A threat"? Ummm....ok. That's like saying chocolate is a threat to vanilla. Dumb! Or funny--like the brass at Toyota said: "When we build this FJC it's to kill the H3 line!" Ryyyyyt.

For god's sake, shut up and wheel!

Respectfully,

Mike

We just love to rub your newbie noses in the same sh*t others attempted to rub ours in.;)

BTW, how's Seattle?

And buh-bye.:D

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
 

LMAO!!! :D :D Those are test vehicles, heck I'll drive a Rolls Royce if someone is paying for it and not worrying about getting damage. And those FJ's in Moab are modifieds.....lol. I wonder what it looks like after completing the Rubicon trail...hmm probably in the repair shop! :D

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
 

Just because it has been there and wheeled does not mean it performed well. Not saying it did bad or good but just having been there doesn't prove anything :rolleyes:



Again, doesn't prove anything. It is too early to tell what the quality of the FJ will be and that is what we are discussing. For the record, the worst quality rated vehicle that GM sells is manufactured in a Toyota plant :eek:

To each their own on what they want to drive and for me it will never be an FJ but wouldn't mind wheeling with some.
