Question Where in the world would you like to drive your FJ?

Speaking hypothetically (putting all costs of having to ship yourself and FJ aside), Where would you like to drive your FJ?

Putting aside rationality of safety, private/government property, I would like to go back to Egypt and see the pyramids again. After that I could drive anywhere across Africa, Asia and Europe. I would definitely like to drive across Australia and in New Zealand over all those damn Hobbits. To finish it off if I ever could, I would trek across Antarctica. No better yet, finish off on Mars after an atmosphere has been established. Oh wait, thats not on this world-oh well.

The International Forum looked so lonely with nothing in it so I decide to give it a little something to talk about.

Re: Where in the world would you like to drive your FJ?

Once the newness wears off and I can afford to have it fitted with plate steel and uber weapon systems, I'd like to make the north american/south america trek and take it all the way to the southern tip... I'd like to see Alaska - all of it. Drive the ididerod trail. Dakar. Just sounds like fun.

Percy I've been on the Pan American Hwy in Costa Rica and you'll definitely need all the on and offroad capabilities of the FJC on that thing. Giant potholes plus giant buses dodging giant potholes.

How about a trek from Moscow to Vladivostok? But not in winter.

I've been to Moscow in the winter. Call me a wus all you want but that's as far as I'm going that time of year.

Re: Where in the world would you like to drive your FJ?

Welcome Minoo. Aren't there a lot of Mahindra jeeps around your neck of the woods? Do you think they could hold their own up against an FJ Cruiser?

You wouldn't want to do that in either winter or summer. Quite frankly, it has nothing to do with weather. It’s people, most of the time drunk and dangerous to be around. Trust me on that, I grew up there.
