    FJ Cruiser is better than a lot of the JEEPS, but the driver and the guide make a BIG difference. I own an FJ and I'm looking at JEEPs right now, I like the Willys.

      I disagree a gladiator on 35 still does work and with the extra articulation of a straight axle Im willing to bet it does better. Im an FJ fan boy btw Moody could’ve walked it but he gets nervous 😬

    • @SkilletsUSMC
      @SkilletsUSMC Рік тому +1

      I was an FJ guy who switched to a JKUR. The Jeep IS the superior trail rig, but the FJC still conducts itself well. Tied for second best IFS 4x4 with the 3rd Gen 4R and slightly behind the Sasquatch bronco.
      IFS actually wheels fine. It’s just SCARY in high off camber terrain.

    • @EthosAtheos
      @EthosAtheos Рік тому

      The FJ did to well, but the Jeeps solid axle is still an advantage in the big rocks. As soon as you have to drive it home or down a bumpy dirt road the jeeps will all fall away. Most of the off road driving where I live (New England) is forest roads or dirt tracks. The Jeeps and other solid front axle trucks can't keep up with me in my FJ.
