Anyone notice the pics of the new FJ on the Toyota website with off-road pics? The vehicles all have AZ plates on them. I don't recognize the trail they're on. Anyone seen any out on the trails?

Bill is right. To avoid a charter violation and a possible TOS from your ISP, do not mention "Land Cruiser" in this forum. Ever. Do not mention "LC". Do not mention "Land" if to be followed directly by the word "Cruiser" in any fashion. To mention "Cruiser, Land" would be a very transparent attempt at hiding the term "Land Cruiser" and would be subject to the same punishment as writing "Land Cruiser". Do not mention the name "Toyota", as this conjures images of Land Cruisers and my lead to thoughts of ownership, admiration, and possibly even test drives of Land Cruisers. Using the words, "land" and "cruise" is permissible only in this fashion:
"I was cruising around in my JEEP on my grandfather's land this weekend."
See by the example that the word "land" and "cruiser" are separated by the word "JEEP". Also, the only capitalized word is JEEP. This is the only legal use of the words Land Cruiser on this forum. This is why you will see this exact sentence used so prevalently on this forum during weekends of particularly slow 4WD activity. It is kind of a 'go to' sentence and enables the use of formations of the popular words, "land" and "cruiser".

That seems to leave it open for just about anything. My experience, of seeing the Toyota FJ concept vehicle on their web site, was nauseating. Vehicles like this, and the latest Jeep offerings, just serve to make my Wrangler and my wife's FJ-40 more rare and valuable. Remember, real Wranglers have rectangular headlights, and real Land Cruisers have a metal and fiberglass roof, that leaks like crazy whenever it rains, an engine copied out of a '57 Chevy, drum brakes all around, and mechanical tappets. And Hughes and Waldron are inveterate jokers. That reminds me. When I get back, I have to put that rear heater that I found in Fort Collins in the FJ. Imagine, a complete rear heater, with no leaks, no dents, and the paint barely scratched. When I got it home, the motor even worked! You don't get thrills like that with a new vehicle. Now if I can only find those brass tees that I took out last summer...

It certainly doesn't do any of the original FJ's any justice. Even Bill has to agree with that, after all the original Fiji's had leaf springs!
