Your at that park. You come back to your FJ to find a steaming pile of poop in the back seat..... Someone mistook your FJ for a porta pottie.

Being serious it's a formidable 4x4 compaired to a Jeep. I would wheel with one

This is absolutely true. The Jeep 4.0s were strong and long lasting. I've had two go well over 250,000 and still had torque to pull a JetSki trailer. The only Toyota I've ever owned was a Celica.... it was okay.

Another plus of a Jeep over an FJ..... roofless and doorless.

I think if you can't embrace some one that is into the off road sport no matter what they drive than you only bought a jeep to conform Image. Jeeps are cheaper to build up, but I think that if after market fj parts were affordable like jeep stuff, than it would be a pretty even match. My buddy has beat the crap out of his and not even one squeak... My jeep squeaked off the show room floor.

Curious where you are seeing "everybody hating on the FJ" on this forum. Unless, of course, someone starts such controversy by creating a thread in a JK forum

. Otherwise, I doubt many people here spend much time or effort thinking about the FJ at all.

I am sure the FJ wheels fine, but personally I do not care for the FJ body style or the limited mod options compared to the huge aftermarket support for the Wrangler.

Other than that, who cares what people drive or wheel.

Nevermind. Did they take the delete post away or am I just not finding it?

O yes I know these things but here in jersey there's a lot of sand, mud, deep water, and hardly any rocks..... And the FJ does come with a factory rear e locker just like the TRD Tacoma and Tundra.... I currently own a rubi
