Re: Why did you go 4x2 ?

Here in north Florida there is nowhere we would want to go that we can't go with a 4X2. I had a 4X4 in the past and used it exactly once in four years(and I was somewhere I had no business being). Beach launching my boat with the rear locker is as hard as it gets, and as others have said tires are more important on sand than 4X4 capability. I'm more like J-Rock! in that I don't want to mess up my rig off-roading...just too anal to do that to my vehicle...however, my wife offroads her BC with no problems...just need to steer clear of deep mud. The lower initial purchase price, increased gas mileage, and lower maintenance requirements all added up to a smarter buying decision for us. If we had to worry about snow that would be another story. We both love our FJs and we plan to keep them for many years to come...and I am also happy to report that the new meds are really helping with the mod addiction...at least for now.
