How LOW can u GOOO?!?!?

.....actually the real question is how well/difficult is it for you to parallel park in your FJ without any outside assistance (person or rearview cam)??

Re: How LOW can u GOOO?!?!?

Parallel parking is only as hard as you make it. Same principals involved as for any other vehicle. In fact with the short wheelbase I think its easier. Practice makes perfect. Never had a problem parallel parking anything. I think it was years of driving forklifts during high school and college. You learn to pivot around the non steering wheel.

Re: How LOW can u GOOO?!?!?

i think the car is pretty easy to park. mine is equiped with the parking assist which is awesome. i wont ever buy another vehicle without it. if i really need help, i angle my passenger side mirror down.

It's not difficult at all if you know how to friggin' drive! That's what the mirrors are for.

Not trying to be a smarta$$ here but if ya can't park it, have some one else drive.

Pretty simple.

Re: How LOW can u GOOO?!?!?

it is easy just think outside the cab ....use the mirrors and mb check the center review the odd time .

They are not just there for airo dynamics .

I love watchin peeps trying to park and hold up traffic .
Think it was part of the drivers test ?




Having said that... I dont use the spell check option here and also, tonight

took a diff back up route out of the garage and bumped my split rail fence .

I blame part of my mistake on hitting the fence with relying on the back up sensers and also a couple rum/coke in my on 550 foot driveway.

Never drive myself after 1 just for the smell

mistake was backing out of garage to wash the ride
