Re: FJ Owner
 

I had a funny experience in my H3. I was stopped at a light on a 4 lane avenue in San Jose and a brand new (no plates yet) silver shiny FJ pulled up along side. Inside the FJ was a father and his 9 or 10 year old boy. The boy kept pointing and looking at my dirty white H3. Probably the kid was telling his father he should have bought the H3:). Sometimes kids know best.:)

I can't get one to stop and talk to me. i guess they think i will hit them cause I owna Hummer or they are more snooty then us? I wan tto go wheeling with one. skills baby skills

Re: FJ Owner
 

I have started to see a lot of FJ's around town. They look all cute and round, but would like to see how they do off-road.

Re: FJ Owner
 

Their like little ants here, Their everywhere. I am seeing alot more H3s as well though.

Re: FJ Owner
 

FJ's are still ugly despite popularity, in my opinion.

Re: FJ Owner
 

Every KY I've seen is driven by some alternately-lifestyled person.

Re: FJ Owner
 

We have more FJ's :( here than H3's - very sad.

Re: FJ Owner
 

FJ's outselling H3's, but at least the Hummer is still somewhat exclusive.

yea give it a year or two and there will be 2 at every red light just like mustangs :p

Re: FJ Owner
 

I'm seeing a lot of FJ's around here, too. Interestingly enough, mostly high school/college kids or mothers with babies driving them. I had a woman park next to me at the drugstore. She looked inside mine and remarked how roomy it was. I looked in hers and before I could say it, she said, "I know, it's really small inside." She was right. It's bubbly round on the outside, small on the inside. :p

Gettin Way to much of that... F....kn , J.....unk around here also! :eek: :) ...Regular little Bumble Bee Hive! ;)..............Oh Wheelin Gods, help us All!...........If they bring out a Special Edition in.............. Flaming PINK! :eek: :D

Re: FJ Owner
 

Not like this. :) (Sorry. I had to do it.)

Re: FJ Owner
 

I love Toyota's but, they really fu**ed up by trying to recreate the FJ-40
the FJ Cruiser is nothing like the 40. The interior is very cheap and the ground clearence sucks. the only positive words I can say is that it has a great engine.

Re: FJ Owner
 

They should have made it a real 4-door and with an off road package with a low t-case and bigger tires.

I don't like the wide pillar it blocks to much visability

You can't beat a Toyota for reliability!

Re: FJ Owner
 

FJ has good motor but just too darn ugly.

X2 whats up with the butt-warts for tail lights :p :D

Re: FJ Owner
 

I like them for some chics, not for me.

Re: FJ Owner
 

My ex loved the FJ and really wanted me to get one, but there was too much I didn't like about it.

Props to the FJ aftermarket tho ... they're really stepping up (probably cause the it needs so much help ;))

Re: FJ Owner
 

When I first saw the H3 I thought, "Chick truck".;)

Lucky for you guys the KY took that roll.:D :p

Re: FJ Owner
 

The HUMMER brand is very well defended here. :D

We have an H2/3 and love them. However, there are way more aftermarket parts available for the FJ than the H3. THere are a couple here in Denver (lifted) that are sick! I mean that in a good way. The FJ is not my style, but man, with the lift, tires, ARB front bumper, they look mean. With both front and rear lockers available now, they are going to climb like mules.

I say bring em out! The more the better.
... not all rigs can look as cool as the HUMMERS. :rolleyes: ;) :D

Re: FJ Owner
 

:D :cool:

Re: FJ Owner
 

X2 - Lately I have started seeing about 2-3 FJs per day. I rarely see any H3s.

Also had a co-worker telling me how much better the FJ was offroad (and this guy doesn't even drive a truck!). I paused for a few seconds, returned to my desk and sent him an email with the Motortrend article and several posts from the FJ site where FJ OWNERS themselves said the H3 was far superior offroad. Didn't argue much after that...

Re: FJ Owner
 

Now dont make fun of the Barbie Hummer, they live in the same town as me. This is only a auto wrap and not paint. There used to be a sponge bob one around.

Re: FJ Owner
 

Did you snap a picture of that Sponge Bob Hummer?

Re: FJ Owner
 

Whew! At least it can come off! :D

Re: FJ Owner
 

Hit the sands of Lake Michigan a few weeks back with my buddy & his FJ, I was impressed with it's abilities! Crawled the sand just fine, took deep water well, climbed hills as good as my H3...but when we hit some mud holes, that thing bottomed out real quick! No pics, but the winch was well used that day...not a lot of clearance.

Re: FJ Owner
 

I'll park my junk next to any new junk, and I guarantee you people will be crawling all over it, after all, mine has the Playground Jungle Gym built in

Re: FJ Owner
 

:D :D :p :D :D

Re: FJ Owner
 

You forgot to mention that the four hot interns were dudes?:p

That reminds me of something that happened to me last week. I was parked downtown when a guy in a H3 drove by and committed that he liked my FJ so much that I could come over to his house and fuuk his sister. And just last Sunday I was at a gas station when three smoking hot stripers came out of the club next door and started crawling all over my FJ and offered to suck me off while I pumped gas.

While H3?s are a cool vehicle they just don?t get the looks anymore, I rented one last time I was in Vegas and got no noticeable looks from anyone except some tree hugger types that gave me the finger, my friends new LR3 got more looks than the H3. On the other hand weather you like the looks of the FJ or not it gets tons of attention, the contrast of the white roof is just very eye catching.

Re: FJ Owner
 

In Utah FJ's get ignored.:D

Re: FJ Owner
 

I was in the city (NYC) the other day helping my niece move and we had lunch and accross the street you could see a FJ through the window.The only one to turn there head and look at it was me over a 45 minute time period .:D


Last month I was in NYC with the H3 .I was parked in front of her building for 10 minutes and several people noticed my 3 and a few said nice truck ect,one guy seen it through his apartment window and ran outside:eek:He was thinking of buying one .No tree huggers in the bunch.And it was dark out at the time.:D

Re: FJ Owner
 

DTHVLY, gotta love your blind stupidity. The FJ's are a passing craze, which is already dying out. I see them piling up on the dealer lots. H3's on the other hand, sales just keep going up and up! 5,550+ units last month. FJ's will soon be a dime a dozen, just like the Mustang, 300, and Charger. The excitement will wear off. Now, the H3, it will remain in smaller numbers, and by the time a redesign is on the table, it will still be pretty damn cool. Just like the H2. I still get many, MANY looks, and it's been around for a long time. There's just something about a Hummer... It's like nothing else!

Re: FJ Owner
 

Fissed :rolleyes:


Personally I think they are both cool vehicles overall but I just don't like the look of the FJ. It has grown on my slightly but there is still no way I would buy one. You are right in that the FJ does get a lot of looks but that does not mean they are all good. Every time I am with someone and we see one go by they look and comment on how ugly they are. Some of these people know I have an H3 and some don't so don't try to say it has anything to do with what I drive. You are also right that they white roof is eye catching but not necessarily in a good way. I can only think of one person that I know that has said they like the looks of the FJ and he is a die hard Yota fan and bought one. You seem to think that the only thing that we H3 owners care about is getting noticed. I could care less if anyone notices my H3 or not. I bought it because I love the looks of the truck and wanted something capable, not what everyone else will think. If you choose your vehicle based on the current fad that is your problem but don't assume that everyone else does too.

Re: FJ Owner
 

Okay...1) you were in Vegas. I can imagine that in Vegas, the H3 isn't exactly an eye catcher anymore. I'm sure there are more exotic cars to be googled over.

2) the white roof of the FJ is eye catching...but like Newbie said, not always a good thing. My daughter saw one the other day and asked if they forgot to paint it...granted..she's only a 4yr. old, but still. Get me?

3) I still get looks. People still question me about the H3. Interest level around "these here parts" might be higher simply b/c there are not that many Hummer's in general on the roads (and that probably has to do a lot w/ ignorance than anything)

my 2cents on this thread.:) ;)

Re: FJ Owner
 

I know, don't feed the trolls/ae's...

...but, until I see a FJ do the "Escalator" in Moab, I won't be impressed!

This is the shiznit right here!!!
