Totally wrong. They were stock except for tires (more aggressive tread but OEM size). Roll your eyes when you open them--the photos clearly show it stock, and MANY pubs have written up the FJC on the Rubicon story. |

Of course they have. The pubs love Toyota and would probably right a favorable review on anything with a Yota badge on it. I have not seen any of the FJ Rubicon reports but in general, that's how it is.

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
I'd like to see each of the tough guy talkers here to post just one photo of their personal rig in tough offroad action.
Ain't gonna happen cos they don't wheel, they WEB wheel.
That goes for post-erasing admins, too.  |

Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3
You had a post erased? Takes a lot for that to happen around here.
Not that this shot is anything serious (have to find the better shots) nor have I claimed to do serious wheeling but at least I get it dirty.

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.

Not that you knew any of that prior to me telling you. LOL. What's funny is, if you read Bacal's piece, you'd learn that he NEVER used the e-locker!! HAHAHA. It was ATRAC the whole time; the engineers did the tweak and he never used them together. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Glad you posted a wheeling pic--of your wife--though my old Subaru Outback could do that stretch. |

I haven't "talked tough", could care less who I wheel with provided its with friendly people, think the " my brand is better than your brand" thing is total bullsh1t...
So, to your web wheeler comment I give you these:
And just so that you don't say all I'm posting is me
This whole damned thing is stupid. The FJ is going to be a great truck. The H3 is a great truck. I'm actually jealous of the volume of suspension lifts, winch bumpers, etc. that are already available for the FJ.
Lets just put the BS away and have a great time wheeling our trucks, okay?

Wow.
Your last sentence proves that ALL of your posts are not worth reading. If you think Bill Burke is "a tool"--a guy who literally does more wheeling in a single month than you (or any of us) does in a year--then you're simply a fool. Bill Burke's skills stand for themselves. Camel Trophy driver for the USA alone gets him huge respect, and to this day he wheels all year, all the time., in places you couldn't possibly even comprehend.
Dis him, and you just make yourself look stupid. And not just from that mud puddle splash photo |
