Replying to: eat_my_mud (Apr 07, 2009 3:22 am) The FJ-40 was pretty much just a mid 70's technology CJ-7 with a direct copy of a Chevy six cylinder for an engine. It was good, had far more off-road potential than the FJC but it was nothing really special.   A (shorter) CJ-5 with the factory V-8 would walk all over it off-road   Also, neither the CJ or the FJ hold a candle to a Wrangler Rubicon on the trails.

I see the consumer ratings on the Wrangler has passed the FJC. Who knows what it means, but it sure does beat the FJC off-road.

I bought the FJC new in 07, it was a cool new look. Hard to see out of and felt boxed in. I did like it though. I bought it in November and come June I was jealous of all the wranglers with their tops off. Finally sold it and bought a 09 Wrangler Sahara. Ready for winter and can't wait for summer!
#503 of 504 FJ Cruiser or Jeep for beginner by flifshr Nov 17, 2009 (10:29 am)
I have read the posts and need some help from the experts. I am not and experience off-roader who want to climb vertical cliffs. I am however a fly-fisherman who want to get back to the native creeks and up and down the mountain trails that my old legs will not allow me to hike. It will also be a transportation vehicle -- not just for the fun.   I have looked at and driven the FJ Cruiser and Jeep Wrangler/Rubicon 4dr. I also tend to get obsessive about things once I get started. I am in a dilema on which way to go -- need expert input.   I looked at the Rubicon model because it seems to be the Jeep product that has reliability and integrity. The brand new sport wrangler would not back up over the dealers embankment for a test drive -- they tried not me.   The FJ appeared well made and got some decent off road reports out of consumers report but dinged on the mileage and safety.   Which car would you recommend for me? Is a 4 Runner set up for trails or something else a better option to get as a started????

I'll bite on the post, flifshr.   Why these two when there are trucks out there. TX and LA relatives moved to Tundra from Power Strokes and one Cummins. Thought the FJ was going away. Look at the ads that I am getting sick of seeing - I am Ram (Dodge name to disappear) and I am Jeep. Almost embarrassed to own a Wrangler, but I'll ignore these ads from the current owners and wait for the next go around if there is one.
