Looks like these are becoming a favorite of Prepperforums, he's on this board somewhere. I have to say I never was so pleased with any car I ever owned as I am with my FJ. Believe it or not the gas mileage is not that bad, it's roomy as hell, can haul a trailer and the ride is really smooth on an off the road. It's stable as can be on the trails, you barely need to use the four wheel drive. The VSC (vehicle stability control) really helps lug that beast around when you need to boogy. The motor is responsive and powerful. I took it through knee-deep mud pits, greasy red clay, soft wet moss and grasses, across rocks, up a pile of loose granite slabs and the machine climbed it like a billy goat. Just pleased as punch with it.
