97 Land Cruiser vs. New FJ Cruiser

So a buddy of mine and I were have a discussion as to what would be more capable off road, a '97 Lexus LX450 (aka Glorified FJZ80 Land Cruiser) or a newer FJ Cruiser.

Given that each would have a decent off-road tire, what are you thoughts on which would be more capable?

Friend believes that the FJZ80 would be far more capable due to lockers and full-floating solid front and rear axles.

 

land cruiser!

 

land cruiser all the way....the LX450 is simply and truly a beast

 

and has heated leather seats..

 

Can someone explain why my last post was deleted? BTW the person was quoted was my buddy and I was just giving him shit. WTF?

By far the Land Cruiser but most of the LX450,470 are not locker front and rear. I have personally seen them both in action. We have both in my Land Cruiser club.

 

My '08 FJ came with a rear locker and A-trac. It does just fine off road, but the extra space in the LandCruiser would be a definate bonus.

 

lexus, I love that body style of the lx and landcruiser

 

the lexus has a solid front axle while the fj has independent front suspension so the lexus imo

 

so far the LX is up on the poll

i decided to post on ih8mud forums as well....here's the link

The Landcruiser/Lexus for the win.
