Not that any of you care...but I am putting some serious thought into picking up a new FJ Cruiser when they come out this spring. $25k is the edge of what I can afford...but I bet I could still make Moab and the Rubicon this year. After all...what's the point of buying a new truck if I can't use it to put you all in your place?

I don't know if I'd use >, but theres a real good chance that it will be a great truck. When I got my H3 I was coming from a 4Runner, which was a great truck for what it was.
My short list was the H3 and the FJ. The things that killed the FJ were:
Only 2 primary doors (no good for an adult w/kids)
and
Not Available yet...
You're young and don't have kids (AFAIK) so 2 doors won't be an issue, and you've got the time to wait, which I didn't.
My guess is that if you want one you better get in line soon, there may be a wait list.

I went down to the stealership last night. They said they have 17 people on the list, but that they expect to get a lot more than that. Also, I am not really looking to grab one from the first shipment. If I have to wait a month or 2...oh well.
Probably won't have it in time for Moab. I really need to sell my 240sx first for the down payment, but I don't want to do that until I see one in person to make sure I really want it. Which would leave about 2 weeks to sell the car, and buy the FJ in order to get it to Moab.

I have owned many yotas and have liked them all. The only problem I have with the new FJ is that it looks like an blown up version of the minicooper.
I think that the FJ would make one hell of a dive vehicle though.

Lets keep Shaggy's lack of female interaction out of this.

265/70/17 is 31.6 inches. Most 32's are about the same from what I remember. Also, I will be going from open diff's with 31's, to 1 locker and 1 limited slip with 32's (about). I think I should be good for a while.
