FJ Cruiser: The truck that wasn’t meant to be here, but had a great impact on everyone.

Every time I see these on the road, I feel like the Owener knows he’s got a baller and he probably smirks every-time he passes a rover owner stranded on the side.

My parents have an FJ-40, a 2007 build for offroading exclusively, and a 2014 ultimate edition. They love them so much, the 2007 has been places I didn't think was possible

I bought my first (2010) FJ in 2019 for $19, 000. It was totaled in 2020 from a rear-end collision, and I was paid out $23, 000 from my insurance. Got my second 2012 for $20, 000. They hold their value and then some...Love these machines

Up to speed on the Toyota hilux


Yes i know he covered the tacoma and 4runner, but what the hilux has achieved in motorsport and how reliable its proven to be by top gear can’t go unnoticed (day 34 of asking donut media for this)

Good stuff. I'm lucky enough to own a 2014. Not a hardcore offroader but Ive taken it on a couple of trails and in the snow and it never disappoints. I'll never sell this beast. Now I'm just waiting for the zombie apocalypse to come and see how well it does. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

My dad bought one on launch back in 2007! I remember I was so excited to see it, he showed me pictures and even as a kid I was incredibly excited for the old design being used as the base for the new one! Then he got it, he worked on the oil rigs in alberta, canada, and a chevy Silverado half ton with mud tires, he had 4 of them, they would always get stuck and were kinda just disposable pieces of junk after 150, 000km. He modified the FJ right away after he got it so it would be ready for his first hitch back on the rig. He got a set of 35 inch mud tires, a 4 inch lift kit, cool rockstar rims, and then he rockgaurded the bumpers and the roof rack, and painted anything that wasnt black, black. Including the white roof, thing was blacked out, he put limo tint on the windows and everything. Cool to think that he couldnt have done all that in 2007 right at launch if it wasnt for the aftermarket support! It was a cool truck, he never got stuck in it, not even once over 3 years driving through shit that would get a chevy stuck. He would drive over fallen trees, though roads that were flooded out, and it didnt matter if the lease itself had knee deep mud he was getting in and out of there! Thing was a beast in the mud and on the lease roads!! I miss that truck so so much!

Toyota is foolish for not planning on bringing this Vehicle back I see them EVERYWHERE

[jjvexist]

I can’t believe I never noticed the FJ’s have 3 windshield wipers ....

[moeshallah]

We still get them as a 2019 model year fresh out of the factory in the Middle East
