I have owned a few jeeps, YJ, TJ, Cherokee and M-715. Now I own a FJ Cruiser. I wouldn’t trade it for any of them. The FJ is just absolutely awesome and easy to work on if you need to. Really a great rig and it’s a keeper.
I'm a Jeep guy, but sad to see they discontinued the FJ. It's badass and like the Jeep it's so unique no need for a logo on it. It's obvious what it is. Too many makes today look so alike, not FJ...
Do you not have any reservations about losing the Jeeps' open top? I've had Jeeps and I own an FJ, but I find myself really missing taking the top off - especially when I'm slow driving up in the mountains.
A 12,000 acre Colorado ranch owner told me years ago when I asked why he had only Toyotas as his work vehicles said they are the only ones that he didn’t to have bring back in buckets of bolts to all other non Toyota dealers! I just got my first FJ and what a beast..
I have pretty much the same FJ and I have to say that trail wasn't much of a challenge for either vehicle. I think the short wheel base on the jeep gives it a bit more of an advantage, but it's lack of lockers hurt it. If it were a harder trail, the FJ's A-Track and locker combination would have given it a big advantage. That Jeep would probably go any where with lockers. BTW, I love my FJ!
You probably havent heard of the legendary 4.0 inline six in jeeps. Which are known to be just as reliable old toyotas. Newer yotas are electronic junk like just like everything else.
@ryansremark6983 I've seen gently driven and well cared for Jeep 4.0 I6's grenade at 200k. They were good for their day, but that day has passed. I still like them, but a Toyota they are not.
Really nice job putting this video together. Great camera work, just enough music and commentary. Digging the FJ! Used to think it was a yuppie mobile! 😆 And BTW, scratches build character! 👍
is that Black Butte I saw in the background/ Looks and reminds me of Siskyou County Ca, Mt Shasta, especially with the volcanic cinder rocks.. Mt Lassen is in the running also
I have a 2010 FJ, and live in south america. If it ever needed parts, I can swap most major parts with any hilux, landcruiser, 4runner, etc, that is plus or minus a decade in age to my 2010. where I go, jeeps do not follow. Your next human is 100 km away, and your next jeep part might be thousands of kilometers away; if not on the other side of the world. I am not waiting 6 weeks in the middle nowhere, for part that should not failed in the first place.
@@19hundoc47 Lol do you have the 2wd version. I've seen stock FJ do pretty good on harder trails. My very nice FJ TTE will go and even do it better than most wrangler Rubicon's. Unless they are on 37+ and turned it into a crawler.

Two very different vehicles in terms of platforms. I’ll take the FJ all day long over that particular Jeep. Also, why do people insist on comparing the FJ with a Jeep that has 35-37s. It’s all in the tires. For most climbs.
Looks like a fun day! The FJ is very capable, and the Bronco looks to be as well, but it's hard to beat the articulation you get from the solid front axle on the Wrangler when doing technical things. Even without the sway bar disconnect (I'm assuming the TJ didn't have one).
I just got an FJ as a gift from my dad, he had the dealer go through it- $1800, next day the "check engine" light came on and disabled the 4x4 options. I will be taking my YJ to cut firewood.
The wrangler is probably slight better but the toyota fj earns my respect. I wish to own them both. I have a JL Wrangler and my father bought a toyota fj. The FJ is pretty cool
If I had to adjust the FJ when it came off the factory floor, I would've issued the option for the 4.7 V8 found in the 4Runner and lower model turdras. But I think there's something to that, like balancing on why the went with the V6. But I'm a bronco owner. What do I know? Love the FJ's and TJ's.
First, where were you 4 wheeling at? Looks like Edison Sno park area possibly? I own a Scout and a FJ. I would say the FJ dominates as it travels much better to this area on the highway compared to a squirrely jeep and more then held its own on the trail. Advantage FJ. Mine is a 2010 and It beats my Scout, and my scout is much better at freeway speed then most jeeps prior to 2000. Also, this jeep looks to not be too stock. The FJ did look to be pretty stock. Let's get a stock sport wrangler out there and see what is what
how can a fj cruiser be better than a live axle 4 coil sprung jeep ,every time i go off road and a fj is in the group we call it the 3 wheeler ,always got 1 wheel off the ground !
Nice video. Toyota just wouldn't be able to keep up with it's ifs if the trail got more extreme. Solid axles articulate more and are stronger. The Toyota does have an advantage for hill climbs with it's longer wheel base though. That's why the 4 door jk and jl are climbing beasts because of the longer wheel base
Fj Cruiser all the way!

@ I did use that feature a handful of times. But for my needs and the climate that I live in it’s definitely a liability.
Both very capable of roaders. I just traded my Jeep for an FJ and haven’t looked back!

Love the compactness of 2 door Jeep’s, but Toyota’s are just so damn bulletproof, I’d have to choose the FJ if I owned it.

@@ryansremark6983 sounds like your not a car guy my dude toyota still holds top level reliability record, can't say the same about that jeep though 🥶

FJ Cruiser did quite well against the Wrangler that is a very competent off roader.

That is a good-looking 2 door jeep.
Great video.
Bro I agree that 2dr jeep is CHOICE!!! 👏
I really like that winch mount in the stock bumper
Looks like a fun day out.
The question should be can the wrangler keep up with the fj.
😂
FJ is a lot smoother riding
If you want to go off road, take the Jeep. If you want to come back too, take the FJ.
For a fun weekend off road only rig the Jeep. For an overlanding rig which will see lots of miles then the FJ.
That pretty well summarizes it!
My sister has the FJ and I have the wrangler we love them both!

I own both . FJ is the best. Not even close. Jeep are made like 💩.

Your comment is poop. Ive had 3 wranglers and they've all been great, FJ is uggggggly. Cant get around that hideous turd on 4 wheels

Used to own a Jeep Wrangler…now in a Yota. No going back.
No one who has owned a jeep and switched to fj will ever say the jeep is better.

Own a 07 Cruiser and it never disappoints!
FJ good for taking kids to soccer practice

Yup...I had the sway bar disconnected on the Tj 👍
Dude what winch is installed on the FJ? It's clean AF!!! I would put that on my truck.

Fj all day any day
With that trail it's an apples to apples comparison for sure
traded my JK Jeep for a FJ couldn’t be happier so much funner to drive on and off road
FJ love ❤️
Makes me so proud of my Berta (FJ)!
Love my 07 FJ!!
Love the part of the tunnel hahaha
FJ CRUISE ALL THE WAY TOO 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻better car 🚗
Awesome 😎
What kind of setup is the FJ running? Did you remove the sway bar links? Newer to offroading and heard that can help a lot
you can get sway bar extensions..
I am in love with 14 fj my bb 😊
Owned a few tj’s and a few yj’s non of them would keep up with a Toyota especially in deep snow, mud,realiability, ride quality
Question is...
Can the Wtangler keep up with the FJ?
Got an FJ and a Wrangler in the house....feeling like a juggernaut
FJ and LS Scout owner here and I agree
Is that Deschutes National forest 🌳 🤔 I’m from bend and I see you guys are from Oregón LETS FJ hmu 😢😢😢
Bet the Wrangler breaks down before the Fj
The wrangler is probably slight better but the toyota fj earns my respect. I wish to own them both. I have a JL Wrangler and my father bought a toyota fj. The FJ is pretty cool
FJ is the one!
The camera never does justice for how steep the inclines actually are.

I would have offered a diesel version... and a larger fuel tank
Love my FJ!

Hey I live in Oregon.. where is this?
Edison
Love fj
That's Unfair!
Supposed to be. Jeep Wrangler 2020 Model vs tha FJ Cruiser
how can a fj cruiser be better than a live axle 4 coil sprung jeep ,every time i go off road and a fj is in the group we call it the 3 wheeler ,always got 1 wheel off the ground !
Is that good or bad lol
@@brunorios6 BAD
Good video, but music too loud....

FJ was also stock, Jeep was not
Looked like the tires on the jeep are a lot bigger,
Toyota 💪🏾
Bring the fj40 here!!!??!
Wrangler n FJ is no comparison, wrangler should b compared with 70 series Land Cruiser that too in diesel. 11:37
FJ all day seven ways till Sunday
Can't compare an FJ with a TJ, let's see how the FJ compares to a JK
A TJ could out wheel an FJ anyday. SOLID AXLE enough said.
Can the FJ keep up with the wrangler? That’s why the FJ is in the front. 😂
Both Great vehicles!
Def not the question
Toyota just built better
More videos with the 40!!!!
