    I'm not really a fan of the rims either, but if the person driving the truck likes it w/e my opinion and anyone else's doesn't matter. The baby needs to dry his tears lol.

    Yeah you'll be getting stuck and breaking all kinds of shit offroading a hummer. Searching on youtube "hummer tie rod broke" or something similar, there are a lot of videos of hummers breaking tie rods going over little rocks lol.

    You might be looking at the pictures wrong. There is an army green one with green roof. But no black roof. At least not made by Toyota

    Not your tears will dry, the guy who gave you neg rep tears will dry. I guess I wasn't clear lol. I read the post you got neg rep for and I didn't find it offensive at all, you just stated your opinion about the truck and some douche bag took it the wrong way.

    Negative. You jump to attacks pretty easily though. Makes arguments much less fun.

    I had an 07 also. I miss the FJ a lot... but I don't miss 12/16mpg, "surface of the moon" looking windshield, and the front of the body cracking off.

    It was the first vehicle that I gutted the interior of and deadened/insulated it. I have not had results as good since then on any vehicle. I had a simple JL 12w3v3 in the back and it sounded like i had 1500w back there.

    The original hummer (the one used strictly by the military) was first released in 1984 with it's civilian H1 version being released in 1998.

    The FJ Cruiser was actually first released in the 1960s as an FJ40 so I think it's fair to say the FJ is the original.

    Though I am bias because of my ownership, I am really confident that a builT FJC will outdo a H1 on any given day no matter what the terrain may bring. They are some truly amazing machines.

    H1 as in civilian model... HMMMV as in Military model... if thats the case than you are smoking some serious shit. The HMMMV will outperform any FJcruiser
