Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3

Ya gotta love guys who admit they never read the item but still post an opinion on it. LOL. Anyway, the point was, the mags all confirmed the FJC was stock--we're not talking about how they said it performed. However, here's the basic lowdown:

There was only ONE FJ Cruiser on that particular trip. Driver was Joe Bacal, spotter was Bill Burke (anyone who wheels knows who Bill Burke is, those who don't go to http://www.bb4wa.com). FJC in question was the actual prototype version worth some $250,000. Bacal was apparently under orders NOT to trash it cos of that reason! Crazy--they tell you to drive the Con in a stock FJC, but "don't do any damage to it." Hello, pressure!

Well, they did it. They did have to winch and use the Hi-Lift jack in spots; they didn't just walk on through. But the stock FJ Cruiser made it undamaged. One more fact, one publication, http://www.4wdtoyotoaowner.com, says that they did do an electrical mod that let the ATRAC work with the E-locker. (Production versions you use one or the other, not both together.

I'd be interested in seeing a stock H3 do the Con. I'M NOT SAYING IT CAN'T!! Just like to see the pics of it there, in action, stock.

I assume you are talking about me and if you are, could you please point out where I posted an opinion on the item

Wasn't the Con one of the testing grounds for the H3. Have not read beyond this post but I am sure someone has or will post about that.

That sure is a nice list of modifications just to make the KY wheelable.
BTW, where are your wheeling pics?

No one said the H3 broke on PSH because an H3 has never even attempted it, if you have pics or vids that prove otherwise feel free to post them up.

Plastic skid plates? Come on why not go the full nine and claim the FJ has plastic rock rails and tinfoil tow hooks.

So now that you have resorted to calling one of the greatest wheelers in history a tool in a futile attempt to discredit the FJ and preserve the belief that the Hummer is ?Like nothing else? what?s next?

Nice rig. Don't know what it has to do with the FJ but nice rig none the less. Not sure that anyone thought you were saying Hummers couldn't wheel but I also don't think anyone here said FJs couldn't either. Lets settle this once and for all, come to FL and we will wheel
