I just know how to type what somebody else wrote. It's in Larry Edsall's book.

Again, great read with great pictures. A must for any FJC owner...real nice on the coffee table for those who don't worry about child proofing stuff

I got mine from Specter Off-Road, Specter Off-Road, Inc.-Landcruiser Parts & Accessories. Otherwise, you could just go to barnes & noble and pick up a copy or they can bring it in for you and of course the b&n website.

Re: what does FJ stand for?

In the 1920's a young Japanese couple had a son, they named him Talley. He grew up a respectful and honorable son and when war broke out in the late 1930s naturally Tally joined the army to help his country. He was soon promoted to the engineers and was helping to study the small vehicles the Japanese had captured called jeeps. He was one day riding around in a captured jeep when an airplane strafed him and the jeep flipped, throwing poor Tally 25 meters into a huge stock pile of barbed wire. Tally was entagled and they had to cut off the wire. By the time the snippings were gone, Taly was missing a part of his anatomy, his sack.
Tally finished off the war and returned to his village, soon he was a college graduate and was engeneering for Toyota where he invented the vehicle to kill Jeep and all Jeep sales, the FJ40, or F*%& Jeep 40. It was a huge sucess and tally was rich, he even bought some bear parts from Kamkatchua that were known to make certain parts work on men, And they did, but having more than just scars in the neither regions, his face being scared to, even being rich, he found most nights he was alone at home. Soon his money was gone and he was destitute, But he dreamed of a new FJ, and soon brought the Idea to Toyota, they were amazed at the creative genious of Tally and told him to continue with the idea. He went so far as to even make a one off that toured the show circut and Toyota put it into production. THe FJC, or F J Cruiser was a huge sales sucess and soon Tally was rich again, and made a National hero, the young man from a small village, the son of mr and Mrs Wanker was known throughout the land and soon he could here his name chanted in Awe, Talley wanker talley wanker talley wanker was repeated each night outside his home, but Alas Talley still got no girl.
