Biology of the FJ Cruiser

This is too funny not to share, and was produced by Toyota Marketing of Japan. Be sure to watch for the "mating" scene at 2:05.

Have to show it to my neighbor. A big FJ fan. He probably has more money in his accessories (lift kit, roll cage, lights etc) than my Yaris cost.

Well, I've wheeled in an FJ before and with a number of very well-setup FJs, and they did great. Driver has a lot to do with it!

That's my club(I'm a member). I know the driver has a lot to do with it, but I lost all respect for FJ's after spending hours and hours behind a couple of them trying to get unstuck on trails on the sides of sheer cliifs with no way around. Whenever I think FJ I recall hanging by my seat belt on a hairy section of trail, dead stopped.

Sitting on the trail forever is the worst part about trail rides.

I've wheeled with FJs in Moab twice. It was the same FJ both times, and it went everywhere we did (in highly modified JKs, TJs) without issue. I'm not disagreeing with you, just saying.
