I was wheeling some nearby trails with some buddies the other day, I was the only jeep. The others had a lifted Tacoma with a winch, F150, and a lifted FJ Cruiser.

The only hard part about these trails are the washed out sections, where you can tip to the side and get stuck. Now someone tell me why we had to winch out our FJ buddy 4 times. What is so great about this vehicle? Everyone in my area seems to have one, I personally do not like it at all.

so... what do you think? FJ Cruiser:

X2. I'd never own one. If someone gave me one I'd sell it to the first person that answered the add.

I like the way they brought back the old look of the FJ40s and such.

Thank you! I get flipped off by this lifted FJ in my area, what for? sounds like yota owners are extremists.

I think it looks more like a lego car than anything. Especially in yellow..

Wonder why he gave you the bird. I've only gotten that one once and that was by a riced out mid 90's civic for blowing his tires off in a pos turbo'd slowfire.
