this is why i love my truck...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice man!! Love mudding and Wheeling. I usually take out the Cummins Turbo Diesel for mudding as I can't make it up too many trails with an 8800 LBS truck. Thats what the 1987 K10 chevy with an 8 inch lift is for!!

alot of kids around here have their parents buy them thier trucks... its rediculous. in fact my step brother is getting a brand new truck for graduation this year from his Grandparents....

dont think im like that. sure i have a Ford F150 that was given to me. but it needs work. ill have it running this summer. but for the FJ. i have a $530 payment and $150 insurence. thats $680 a month. i only make about $1400 a month. but then again i dont pay for food, housing, or anything else except a cell phone. its all provided by the Corps.

these kids driving $40,000 trucks around town is disgusting. i know for a fact theres no way they can afford them working fast food and being a bag boy at the grociery store.

but i dont really worry about it either. all i know is i earned my vehicle and im enjoying every minute behind the wheel!

your right and you well deserve your truck for the job you do

Thanks
 
I have seen a new FJ at a mud run competition near where I live. It was bone stock and had to go in the shallow pit. the mud in that pit is less then 6" deep. And it got stuck EVERY time. Hell it didn't even make it half way down the 100' pit ever.

I will say however if it didn't have to stock tires it might have had a chance but with stock tires they are not worth crap.

but neither is most any truck or suv.
 
I have read many positive reviews about the FJ's off road capabilities, and every time we get a group together to hit the pit's a long time friend of mine (who's name wont be mentioned because that would just be insult to injury) show's up with his FJ. Long story short he wont be showing up any more, atleast not in that truck after he rolled it like 15 times on a not so steep incline that had been traversed over and over again by jeeps as old as 1967. I like the truck for it's style and creature comforts but even though everyone know's a jeep with 36-40 inch tires is a misserable daily driver but is still the pinnacle of 4x4 vehicle's. He had atleast 5-6k invested in aftermarket suspension and tire's too which made me wonder if it wouldnt have done better stock the way toyota intended it.

Nice truck and you definately deserve it. I had an 86 toyota pick up truck that had to be euthanized with 460,000 Miles on it. Damn thing refused to die! Take care of them and they will take care of you.
 
239 HP and 0-60 in 7.6 and it pulls the front wheels off the ground?

Very impressive...... VERY hard to believe though.

Nice unit either way.
 
in australia you can buy a toyota hilux (similar to tacoma) trd with the same 4.0 v6 as the fj cruiser but it is supercharged and has 300hp. despite having less ground clearance than the standard hilux it is very good offroad. i believe it is exclusive to australia. fj cruisers are not in australia but i read somewhere that they might be coming here. original fj landcruisers (from the 50s) are around though
 
Thanks you for using it the way it's supposed to be used!!! I'm tired of seeing people driving off-road vehicles and not getting them dirty.
