I'm sorry to hear that

So who was giving you $13k for your H2 with busted engine? Land Rover dealer or Hummer dealer or insurance or other repair shop?

Haha drty, it was a gm dealer. What do you guys think of fj's?

I'm glad you've decided against that rover. You're better off. That FJ is one helluva reliable truck. It will give you years of trouble free service if that's what you're after.

If you're after a luxury sport ute what about the lexus gx470. Those ride pretty nice and there are deals out there. You can presently purhcase the big infinity QX56 for one heck of a deal right now too probably around 25 thousand for a lower mileage truck. It too will run like a top.

Good decision to steer clear of the Rover. With the exception of a 1997 D90, every RR and LR product I had was a steaming pile.

FJ is a nice truck, more leg room than the H2, but not as comfy. Toyota reliability is tough to beat. I was a serial Land Cruiser owner for years. You owe it to yourself to test drive a slightly used UZJ100 back to back with FJ before you pull the trigger.

Have you considered throwing a diesel engine in the H2? This might be a great opportunity to take the plunge.

Run away from the FJ Cruiser, it's NOT reliable.

Many FJ's that have been wheeled have been having their body ripping at the crumple zones, and from the looks of it, Toyota is giving them the run around with no real fix. Here's a link:

The stock angles are a joke too, 32/29.

Also, you won't be able to fit 4 adults in there, the back seats are useless.
