There is no doubt you should of paid less for the FJ , the ultimate Offroad truck(JK) will cost a little more, and there's no comparing the two(apples & oranges)........... You have to compare an H3, Xterra, Kia Sorento & new Liberty to the FJ to have a perfect comparison. JK is a stand alone in every respect.. Period.

I've been back and forth over the jeep & fj thing for the past several months as I've been researching my next new car.. There's a lot of things i really like in both. in test drives I think I liked the way the FJ felt a little better, and it seemed a little quicker. I'm sure I'd be happy with the either vehicle, but in the summer when it's real nice out, I know I'll be bummed to not even have a sun roof in the FJ... I think the new FJs look really cool (this is coming from someone who bought an original 03 honda element :p) and it was fun learning/reading about the old fashioned toyota "jeeps" from back in the day, that I honestly never knew existed until now.
In the end though, being able to take the top off, even if I get a hard top, is what won out. If there was a soft-top/convertable FJ I might have ended up deciding on that.. but really, the jeep's options & features, and the awesome community of Jeepers everywhere, are gonna make me enjoy my rescue green 4 door sahara a lot more in the long run

My last 4x4 was a 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 that I drove since new until a couple weeks ago. I looked at the Toyota for about 5 minutes, saw the independent front suspension and the tiny rear axle and knew in an instant that it was not for me.
When Land Rover was bought by Ford, they had a golden opportunity to build a Jeep-Killer. They even made a concept platform which could have been used to build expensive Land Rover Defenders and a more affordable Ford Bronco similar to the old ones from the 60's. Had they done this, we'd be able to choose between at least 3 capable off-road vehicles, but right now the Wrangler is the only option.
I am thrilled with my unlimited rubicon. The technology improvements since 1994 and the lifetime powertrain warranty on all the serious off-road options I wanted makes the wrangler just awesome. It is also quite pleasant to drive a quiet vehicle with a nice stereo and fancy stuff like air conditioning. I have no regrets about selling off my old beloved Land Rover Defender.

I could build a rock crawler with a MINI Cooper body but it wouldn't make the production vehicles great off-road. . . .
If the Trail Teams Special Edition FJ could go from dealer's lot to Baja 1000 winner's circle, then I would be impressed.
