FJC owner or Offroader?

Do you own an FJC or take it offroad?

When I mean offroad. I mean off the beaten path. Somthing you have to put it in 4wd mode or at least sweat when you own a 4X2.

Own or offroad? Own and offroad.

I believe, on THIS forum at least, you will find more offroading enthusiasts than pimp-mobilers. I also believe that you will likely NOT find a large number of just regular-joe owners since they are unlikely to be so enthusiastic about their ride to subscribe to ANY forum on the matter. People who ARE enthusistic about a vehicle, like us, may not understand the apathy on the part of others, but we must face the fact that this the way things are. Hence the lack of a returned wave, or friendly nod, from most FJs I see in my travels. It's not that people are jerks, it's just that they probably don't know you are waving at them. Do Camry owners wave at each other?

I agree...both. The FJ is my daily driver, but I'm building it out for some decent off road capabilities too.

If you could see the scratches on my rig you would not have to ask. I get out when i can and my gear selections run the available range.

The FJ is like a sniper rifle. You are comfortable knowing that it's there if you need it. I traded in my '98 S-10 Blazer with 150,000 miles and no scratches. I check in on the forum everday. It's great to see and hear all the things my sniper rifle can do...... and I do wave to other Cruisers although my wife thinks it's lame.

I am an owner. My FJC tows a 4-wheeler to the rough places. I have had both high centered, stuck in mud, and almost rolled over, but I'm just an owner. I have found some real off roaders back in the toolies with a real doubt of their sanity. Just an owner!!

Never take the FJC off road? It's like going to the best steak house in town and ordering grilled cheese. I don't get it.
