Something I'd like to see...

[General Lee 01]

Here's something I'd like to see. The supposed all new "Off road king", The Toyota FJ Cruiser vs. Either an H2 or H3.

 

Hell, pit it against a regular Hummer or a good old Land Rover for that matter.

 

I've seen 2 or 3 in person, They're "alright" looking IMO, they'd be good for maybe some OBX Beach driving, but I can't see them as the next generation of "Total Off-Road Supremacy".

 

 

Has anybody seen one yet? Any thoughts?

There's a blue one cruising around here in Fargo. I have to say that up close and in person, they're too car like. Not really a vehicle I'd take to Moab or China Wall, CO w/out serious mods beforehand.

 

I'm of course biased, so take that w/ a grain of salt.

 

I'd like to see how the FJ rates with the import 4x4's like the old FJ40, Land Cruiser, Trooper or Montero. Then compare it to the domestic models.

Toyota's marketing team is traveling around the country wheeling with all the Toyota Land Cruiser Associations clubs that wish to participate. Our club, Hoosier Cruisers, was visited in April at the Badlands Off Road Park in Attica, IN.

 

We all got to drive the new FJ Cruiser on the trails. I, for one, was quite impressed with the vehicles off road capabilities. It went every where I would've taken my '75 FJ40 and more.

 

I'd take the FJ over an H2 or H3 anyday, but, I'm a Cruiser fan. My thoughts are "The only thing good about the H2 is it's not an H3, and the the only thing an H3 has going for it is that it isn't a Jeep." The H1 just plain rocks though, I'd run naked through a convent for one of those.

 

There are videos and pictures available from the FJ Trail Teams trips at

I think they're pretty cool.

 

 

 

 

And I'd run naked through a convent just for sh**s and grins.
