Not that any of you care...but I am putting some serious thought into picking up a new FJ Cruiser when they come out this spring. $25k is the edge of what I can afford...but I bet I could still make Moab and the Rubicon this year. After all...what's the point of buying a new truck if I can't use it to put you all in your place?

I don't know if I'd use >, but theres a real good chance that it will be a great truck. When I got my H3 I was coming from a 4Runner, which was a great truck for what it was.

My short list was the H3 and the FJ. The things that killed the FJ were:

Only 2 primary doors (no good for an adult w/kids)
and
Not Available yet...

You're young and don't have kids (AFAIK) so 2 doors won't be an issue, and you've got the time to wait, which I didn't.

My guess is that if you want one you better get in line soon, there may be a wait list.

Shaggy just needs a 3 inch crack to slide in.

Very Cool Shaggy, if not the FJ anything to get you up LB.

I went down to the stealership last night. They said they have 17 people on the list, but that they expect to get a lot more than that. Also, I am not really looking to grab one from the first shipment. If I have to wait a month or 2...oh well.

Probably won't have it in time for Moab. I really need to sell my 240sx first for the down payment, but I don't want to do that until I see one in person to make sure I really want it. Which would leave about 2 weeks to sell the car, and buy the FJ in order to get it to Moab.

A used CJ, YJ, Rubi would be cool 2.

Don't want a Jeep. Jeepers are weird. Would rather keep the s10 then get a Jeep.

Stock should be 32" BFG AT's I thought...right?

I have owned many yotas and have liked them all. The only problem I have with the new FJ is that it looks like an blown up version of the minicooper.

I think that the FJ would make one hell of a dive vehicle though.

Lets keep Shaggy's lack of female interaction out of this.

Since when is Shaggy allowed to start threads?

Shaggy will finally have his own fourm to belong to

And Wooho it comes with a built in "Inclinometer"

I can see it now this bubble of a car with a 6 inch lift & 37 inch tires, quite a sight

best of luck with the purchase shaggster

265/70/17 is 31.6 inches. Most 32's are about the same from what I remember. Also, I will be going from open diff's with 31's, to 1 locker and 1 limited slip with 32's (about). I think I should be good for a while.

With the HUGE overhangs front & back, you're going to have your work cut out for you trying to put us in our places.

Aww, come on. I was compairing it to an H2...why'd it have to get moved?

Has a better approach angle then my s10 (33 or so degrees I believe). I am pretty sure I will be alright.
