Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3

[NEOCON1]

Yah man, dat is de sheet right there. I bet you get reelly good gas miles because it got da more aerodynamics. I like eat. Dos reems are reelly nice too. When the policeman shoot your tyres, you can like go for mucho miles.

you guys are funny!

a ****ing stock jeep with 31 inch tires will make it hells gate, why the hell do you think that FJ didn't

And to quote myself, "a built jeep is in a league of it's own".......I didn't mean that nothing compares or can outwheel them. I just meant, there really is nothing to compare them to. H1, H2, H3......those are more comparable to Grand Cherokee, Orig. Cherokee, Liberty.........models like that. The wrangler is not marketed or meant for families that are wanting to carry all of their gear in the car and go on a weekend wheeling trip. They fill a very small nitch for those who truely enjoy driving them but the only rigs I'd compare them to again, D-90, SAMI, G-Class (older), and other wranglers...........

AUBS, I cant wait to wheel with you......... you seem clueless kinda like JONNYHASMOREFUN and I enjoyed listening and watching that jack ass all day long

AND Finally SHAGGY.........I 100% agree with you....I think that the TACOMA TRD with a minimal amount of work is where it is at ....

AND my final comments about the Land Cruiser........I'm talking about a "built" 80 series cruiser. I am not comparing them stock to stock and I dont care to.........It has been a long time since I've been on the trails and wheeled with a "majority" stock crowd......it just doesnt happen. People here in Colorado that enjoy the hobby seem to build their **** and build it well. I dont even remember the last "stock" H2 that I wheeled with.......???????????............there are plenty of "poser" jeeps and "poser" vehicles in general around here but the majority of people that wheel here have "built" rigs.........

I may be clueless, but Johnny Carson was a funny man, and because John Candy was overweight my cousin became an IT specialist who founded the internet with Al Gore. Al Gore is my best friend. Al Gore says you're a doo-doo head.

I probably am clueless, but I still have no idea why you'd want an oversized, tipsy monster of a vehicle. I know the bigger the tires, the more the things tend to walk on the highway, the higher the suspension the more body roll and less accident avoidance, and the whole setup begs for mechanical failure.

But you can have your modified beasts, and I'll stick to my better resale, highly comfortable, safe, low center of gravity, easy to drive stock vehicle which, since I didn't throw my money into uselessness, I can buy all kinds of fancy gizmos.

I do find it funny though that most everyone disagrees with this whole argument that FJ is god, and Mod is God, and thinks the FJ is a POS!

I definately dont think the FJ is god and I think they are ugly and queer looking. But they do have the "makings" of a good 4x4 platform. The "pradas" have been wheeled over seas for a long time and are pretty kick ass from what I have read. I think the FJ is a fairly good off-road machine and would prob keep up with an H3...................I'm sure it wont be long til someone finds this out..........

I dont like "big beasts" vehicles or jeeps for that matter. I run a very mild set-up but it is dialed in well. I run open differentials with 32 inch tires and a 3.5 inch lift and can keep up with just about anyone on a 7-8 rated trail out here in Colorado. I cant even begin to imagine what my Jeep would be capable of if I decided to throw 8 grand into it ..... One thing I've learned is that Driver Skill and capability is 80% of it.............

H1 H2 H3 are comparable to Cherokees? Um h1 particularly is so far away from that class it's just stupid. As far as the others, no I doubt that too. Very much.

no not missing any point. It's the ONLY small suv that you can take the top off of, and it happens to be a capable 4x4..............Can you think of any other vehicles on the market that can do that? Is that not "filling a niche"????????????
