My wife had a deal set on a new TJ Unlimited as it was a left over 05 and 8 thousand dollars less than the FJ. She simply could not ignore the price difference between the two vehicles.
We went to the Toyaota dealership to get my deposit back and I talked her into a drive just so we could say we had. She turned to me before we had gotten out of the parking lot and said "I want one!"
There is no comparison in my mind, the FJ trounces the Jeep in every catagory with the exception of a removable top, which was very important to us. The ride is vastly superior both on and off road, the A-Trac is amazing, and the Cool Factor is off the chart!
We are having a ball driving around like celebrities, the public reaction is crazy. People will follow you until you stop to talk to you about it.
We picked it up Sat. morning and went out driving in all conditions and 500 miles later I can say that we are thoughly impressed with all aspects of this vehicle, it has exceeded my expectations and they were high. ( For reference, I have a built cherokee with front and rear lockers, 6" lift and 33's, a stock cherokee with 31's and a YJ with 4" lift, 33's and a rear locker)
We have decided to buy a second one with in two years for a his and hers set. I hope they have a topless version by then.
BUY ONE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Thank you for your post. I found it very informative. As I noob to 4x4's, it's nice to read a realistic review from someone who has own numerous lifted jeep vehicles. Sure the FJ has its' drawbacks, but doesn't everything? When you look at it as a complete package, there just doesn't seem to be anything out there that compares. Sure jeep wranglers have a cult following in the rock crawling world, but it is one of the most relatively expensive, bare bones, unreliable vehicles out there. I am assuming most of us have to work 40 hrs a week and after family responsibilities, have less time to play. I'd much rather have something like the FJ.
