OK 5th GM since 1988?
 
I still have my 1982 FJ60 LandCruiser and it runs perfect no rebuild.
 
Where is your 1988 GM?

Where is your 1988 GM?
 
My ex in-laws are still driving it. I bought it in Seattle and drove it back to Alaska. They needed a 4X4 and I sold it to them in 1990, flew back down and bought a new one. Then In 1993 I sold the 90 for nearly what I paid for it 3 years earlier. Buying vehicles in Alaska is very expensive. Went to the same Chevy dealer in Seattle and bought a 1993. They were all extended cab 3/4 ton 4X4 long bed trucks. I would still have the 1993 if I had not hit a big buck in Sun Valley Idaho. I did not want to wait around for repairs so I traded it for a 1999 Suburban in June of 1998. When I sold the Suburban last year it only had 46k miles on it. I should have kept it as the new GMC is not nearly as well built. The engine is more powerful and the truck drives and runs good. Just too tinny built for me. Kind of like the FJ Cruiser I went and sat in. TOO Much Plastic!
 
My 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser had to have 3 valve jobs and 3 new timing gears in 50k miles. I wish I still had it. It was the small window version. They are worth about 10 times what I paid new in 1964. It was very rugged built. Toyota did not know how to build good engines back then.

"I've yet to see a soccer mom in an FJ. Around here [So Cal] the majority of drivers are young guys."
 
Who wants to buy a vehicle that has to get the Soccer Mom stamp of approval. I would rather get a vehicle that is fun for me. As a single guy who likes the odd weekend adventure and still lives in the City, it has all the practibility I am looking for. Who cares who sits in the back anyway.
 
I am really surprised there are so many people here on the FJ Cruiser and Toyota forum that are just bashing the FJ and Toyota. Why aren't you just posting how great your vehicles are on the boards that represent them rather be negative here?
