Re: What does "FJ" stand for?
Toyota marketed the design, which was asked to be a update of the wwII jeep by the US Army as a jeep till they were told they had to stop doing that outside Japan, that is where the J comes from, the F is engine. The original design was heavily influenced by the Jeep as the US Army wanted to buy them so they would not have to ship them to Korea from the USA but have toyota deliver them there.
What ever you may think of it, it is a supreme compliment that they were chosen, and that they made a improved version. Anyone who has a problem with that needs to go back to living in caves as the modern house is a improvment on the cave made by a different manufacturer that the cave.
Face ti, the universal platform has evilved to the JK, and the FJ has evolved to the FJC, now which is just like the origonal of either, and which do you own?
It is a matter of taste and preference, not which is better.
We just spent a weekend of wheeling Jeeps, Jeep Liberties, FJCs, Landrunners, Tacomas, Land Rover Discoveries, Hummer H3s, along with a few other makes and everyone got off on watching everyones else's rigs walk up the trails. No fighting over who's was best, just mutual respect for conquering the same trails together.
