Brian (McCammish, not Gallus) you crack me up. The new "FJ Cruiser" (which is what they are calling it) is nothing but hype. Spin it any way you want, it is not an off road machine. Rack and pinion steering, IFS (with no lockers or gears available), and poor visibility are not the hot set up. Can it be made to work? Sure, there are some good components. I don't see this going anywhere that Monteros and Grand Cherokees cannot tread though.

Remember when the Supra was a fun, affordable sports car before it got bloated, heavy, gadget laden, and expensive? The same thing is happening now with Toyotas trucks and SUVs...
