[TOILET]

I have had two FJ40's they were great ruff & tough rigs. No sissy A/C, Crank Windows, all the push & pull control knobs, that great big steering wheel, drum brakes, the remote rear heater, Armstrong Steering (manual Steering) atleast one of mine was, the other had Chevy Power Steering to go with the Chev 350 & the Turbo 400 Auto. The argument between a straight axle & independant suspension? I can say, the new FJ is much easier to drive, it doesn't change lanes when it wants to like both of my 40's did. I do miss the removable hard top, I don't miss the leaks during the winter though. My kids really like the back seat better on the new one, the 40 had opposing jump-seats. Toyota did keep the leg room-thats why I originally bought the FJ40 over a jeep, & why I bought an FJ Cruiser over a YJ. Off road, I like the fuel injection of the new one-no more stalling! I also don't understand why the fuel tank is so small on the new one, there is room under the back for more fuel! I had to add rear tanks to both of my FJ40's. I don't think the new one is any easier to get in & out of. I paid alot more for the new one, so I probably won't beat the dog snaught out of it like I did the FJ40's. I used to go wheelin, then come home, park on a hill & pressure wash the FJ40 inside & out, the interior of the FJ40 was line-x'd, it was easy to clean, but cold & noisy compared to the new one. I am probably off track from the original post, I'm just taking a trip down memory lane. I do like the comfort of the the new FJ, but miss being able to remove the top & doors & fold the windshield down on a moments notice, & being able to pick up a Chiltons guide & fix just about everything on the old FJ40, but I suppose Nowadays I take alot more stuff to the mechanic that I used to do in the driveway.
