In the past there's been a bit of animosity and general silliness between members of our respective forums. People from our forum have come over here and acted like asses, and we had some people from this forum come to ours to bash the FJ, etc. In my opinion, that kind of stuff is just silly and really is counterproductive. I'm here to sorta bury the hatchet.

I think all of us take a lot of pride in our vehicles, and sometimes we get a bit out of control defending ourselves. I'm guilty of it myself as well. The fact is that both the Hummers and the FJ are perfectly capable vehicles both on and off-road. Each vehicle has distinct advantages and disadvantages. For example, we can't get leather in the FJ, which would be awesome...and the H3 is by many reports, somewhat underpowered compared to the FJ, but really that doesn't make any difference. Like I said, each vehicle has advantages and disadvantages. There's no reason for any of us on either side to be hating the other...especially knowing that if any of us from either forum saw a competing vehicle stuck on the trail, I have no doubt that each and every single one of us would stop to help.

So I'd like to offer an olive branch of sorts to all the members here, and invite you to, if you'd like to, stop by our forum and say hi. Tell them I sent you, and I promise that if you're nice, I'll make sure our members stay nice as well.

Happy wheelin'
John, FJCruiserForums.com moderator.

Welcome. Tell your sensitive admin to grow some skin. That turd banned me twice and now I'm undercover.

You'll find this site much more accepting of other rigs and probably get invited to all kinds of events/trail runs.
