    Huh? Out of all the vehicles in the world, why does this get its own sub forum on a Toyota community website?

    Because it's what the FJ could have been?

    It's for people like me who bought a Bronco and then realized they aren't very good vehicles. So we can tell people to not fall for the new shinny tool.

    I don't see a problem with it having it's own place here. Better to have a dedicated area for it than to have it peppered in various spots

    Huh! We just drove a 2 door across the us-absolutely loved it. Seems like an incredibly capable vehicle and loved the manual transmission. It was some serious planning to fit all our gear, domestic, etc… but it worked. Don’t know if I’d outfit one like this for myself (this was for my BiL) but I would love to own one for shorter missions.

    plus, have you spent any time on other forums? Yuck! So full of clickbait and other junk. I don’t get why it’s so hard but tacomaworld has a corner on design and user experience for forums.

    I got one for a family vehicle that I can still use for more mellow camping trips and have the Tacoma for hard wheeling. All in all I have loved it so far.

    I do hate how I have less ground clearance compared to the Tacoma on the same size tires.

    Thought I’d share the doodad I made for the back of the bronco. It’s a shelf that bolts in with 4 bolts but covers the back seats. It worked great. Just popped it out a couple days ago to convert back to 4-seat mode.

    I would take an FJ over a Bronco . A clean 10 year old low mile FJ over a brand new Ford is no contest.JMO

    I’ve owned and heavily used both. The FJ is better built but the Bronco is more fun and easier to modify. I’m not a one vehicle person so it was easy to see the FJ go down the road. JMO based on owning and using both.

    I'd rather pay $35K for a beat-to-shit '70s FJ40 than the new Bronco. If I'd had any sense 40 years ago, I'd have kept my beat-to-shit FJ40 and only have paid $5700 for it.
