Re: fj stands for...?

3 months ago the wife thought it meant F**kin Jeep!

Now that we have picked it up (and she has acknowledged that I was right and she was wrong and I get to sing the I Was Right Song) she gets just as upset as I used to when someone asks if it's a new Jeep or Hummer.

Actually, I think it was simply the internal model code back in the day.

Re: fj stands for...?

It is a combination of engine code and chassis code. See this post.

Definition:

FJ = Friggin Jazzed!

Used in a sentence:

I'm Friggin Jazzed that I get my FJ today!

Functional Jeep
I know it sounds like an oxymoron...

Re: fj stands for...?

F and B are related to engine choice. The original FJ40 used the "F" engine. B is the diesel engine.

J really does stand for Jeep.

I read some where that back in the day , that the Land cruiser was the first stock rig to make it all the way up Mt. Fuji in Japan. So it became the FJ. I don't know if its true , but it sound good!!!!!!
