    Yeah, you know I sort of like how some of those FJ's look, but that thing? It looks like gumballs come out of the tailpipe...

    ObElite: I couldn't actually have an FJ, though. There's too many of them out there.

    The "plastic, fantastic" FJ.....only, uglier, with giant, dork wheels, and even less of a reason to exist

    The sad thing is, the VX formerly held the title for "plastic fantastic". You would think the next contender would look at least better than the original!
    I do agree though with Knigh7s, the fab-tech put into this FJ deserves some respect. It is more like a feeble success than it is a victory... but with that said, it IS a better execution than I could manage, just far below my design ability. I just realized..... it's the Homer FJ!

    Cool

    Say what you wiill about the FJ, if it weren't for "wheelin' buddy Jay" & his FJ, I think there might still be some VX's "parked" at the base of the entrance/exit of Cliffhanger. Lockers Rule!

    And no, I don't think making it a convertible enhances the appearance.

    I think you can do an FJ right and do one wrong......cant help to think of a perverted joke after typing that. This one is just wrong, reminds of something that should be in the movie "Malibu's Most Wanted."

    I like Jay's mainly becuase it is blacked out (no white roof). Their aftermarket is good and only getting better, makes me jealous. 4Wheelparts have done a trail rig FJ in their magazine they send out and it looked real good with an ARB bumber.

    The entrance/exit of cliffhanger ain't all that bad (definately don't need lockers, although they make it a lot easier)...the "little troop that could" handled it quite well a couple years back! I even remember him getting chears from the toy and jeep guys standing by watchlng!
