NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

We went to the Sacramento Auto Show. It was fun. The FJ is OK, I personally prefer the H3.

So yeah.....like that:dancingbanana:

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

My buddy owns an FJ, I have wheeled it several times. In my personal opinion H3 is much better all around with one exception, the FJ definitely has more powerful engine but that's it.

One more thing, if you were to really take the FJ off-road and not on that soccer mom confidence course the plastic bumper is so cheap looks like it would break or fall off the first time it bumps into anything significant.

Did you take a good look at the Bumpers???

Not for long.... :shhh:

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

Blasphemer ! ! ! ! !

Say it aint so......

Stop now or your next test drive will be in a Subaru Outback......

:giggling: :giggling: :giggling:

Truth be told, I was actually looking at the FJ's as well as the H3, but I just couldnt stomach paying 3 or 4 grand over sticker for the FJ.
The Toyota dealer was horrible.
Acted like he was doing me a favor........
But then... I went to Sewell Hummer in Dallas..
Made my deal on a black H3 and was out in less than 3 hours.

Haven?t regretted buying the H3 yet.

I test drove the 300 hp Sub, but no wheelin was involved. Fast and kind of crude.

First Drty and now Bebe!
Well, I've always thought Toyota makes a nice vehicle. Would love to have a land rover. But personally, I think the H3 is much cooler (than FJ)! So I bought it! And love it.

Ok Bebe's...You Wheeled an FJ..... Cool.... But It's Still Bone Friggen Ungly.....:eek: :giggling: :jump:

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

pretty extreem wheelin there beebster :p ;)

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

A Land Rover is made by Ford, not Toyota:giggling:

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

Is that what you use to refer to the courses at all of the Hummer dealerships?

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

Toyota Land "Cruiser" is a nice vehicle as well as the Land Rover line of vehicles, but not in the same price as the H3, they compete more with the H2. The Land Cruiser sells for around 56K, and not sure if there are any Land Rovers under 40K.

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

True that. The FZJ80...shown below, starts at 56K. I looked at replacing mine before I bought the H3, and the one I looked at was almost 70K!



I love this truck....'95 FZJ80, straight axle....my new wheeling rig:giggling:

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

Sorry, sorry, sorry. :)
Toyota Land Cruiser. That's what I meant to say. Yes, until I start making the big bucks, I'll not be able to afford a 50K+ vehicle! (although maybe a used one....)

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

Funny, you didn't mention this on the phone.

Did you feel all dirty afterwards? :giggling:

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

Nice to see someone take it over a bigger obstacle than a curb :D

How was the ground clearance and articulation?

What did you think of the FJ's visibility and blind spots? I thought they were worse than the H3 and I hated the mirrors ... not wide enough to be useful, imo.

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

Ditto on the mirrors and the visibility.

Although those I could get used to in time.

Two things I disliked the most:

When you go to shift, the is no real center console. The shifter in on the floor. I felt like I was in my grandpas old ranch truck.

There is no cockpit type feel to the interior, like the is in the HUMMERS and my TLC for that matter.

Second is the front seat belt are in the rear suicide doors. The rear passengers have wait for the front passengers to unbuckle and open their door to get out of the vehicle.

Also, it's Independent Susupension on all 4 corners.

Serious poo sandwich.

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

i will stick with my hummer

Re: NO BS... I Wheeled an FJ Cruiser :-0
 

What is?:confused:

The FJ? It has a standard 4 link solid axle setup at the rear I think. I'm sure its IFS but I would just about swear it's a solid in the rear.
