    I think that hits the nail on the head. If you didn't care about looks, you would be driving a plain old jeep (or an old box shaped blazer)

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Under the hood...its more about function then looks! I don't pop the hood so others can gaze at it in awe! Truthfully most would just see a lot of red moab dirt...still.

    Sue,

    took a look. The FJ calls for a group 27F.. big honkin battery! we dont even stock them. A group 24F will fit but is physically a bit smaller. The group 35 will fit as well, but is even smaller still.

    beware, there is a group 27, and a group 24, but unless there is an "F" associated with it, the terminals will be backwards from what you need. Toyota original battery is 710 CCA, but we show batteries as low as 580 being compatible.

    hope this helps!

    if thats on the VX, that would make sense, a group 34 is a common marine/RV battery, which fits in the VX. thats what I have is the optima blue top which is marine/RV
