I currently drive a WRX but want something different. I'm your cliche PNW dude. I love doing outdoor activities, so I think an SUV would suit me best, but most of them give me family-hauler vibes. I want something that suits a young 20-something that loves to go hiking/camping.
I absolutley love FJ's, but finding one with decent mileage is outside my price range because they hold their resale value so ridiculously well. And I've heard newer Wranglers (or rather chrysler and jeep products in general) are trash.
If you don't mind an absolutely horrendous interior then go with the FJ.
Otherwise just get a Jeep like all the other IPA loving yuppies that are plaguing my homeland.

FJ is... Unusual car. Crazy narrow windshield, ugly interior and for it's basically for you and one passenger only. Backseats are pretty meh. Also early FJ's suffer from front body integrity failure (not sure how to name this issue correctly), needs to be reinforced.

FJ being a 10/10 vehicle Jeep being a 1/10 No one wants a jeep

Kayden Myers
I actually like the FJ's interior. I would get a jeep but I've heard they're god awful these days

Ian Williams
How much you get your rubicon for? Miles?
Parker Rodriguez
Lol idiot
Juan Stewart
As someone who's actually driven both and not just "heard" about the quality of one, the FJ is dogshit.
Jose Phillips
independent front suspension crawler LOL
get a tacoma, dont bother with a fj

Samefagging Honestly though i shopped for a solid year. Researched pretty much everything there was to research. I test drove each in a manual and an auto. While the FJ felt better on the freeway everything about it was underwhelming. The best part about the FJ was the tripple wipers and the integrated rear view back up cam. Until you figure out that the wipers are just gonna cost more and the rearview is because u cant see shit out of the back of an FJ. The jeep felt like much better quality, i know weird right. Also the FJ was in serious need of an update, toyota just let if fade away when they could have improved it. TRD Pro FJ would have been cool but it never made it that far.

the stance crowd has taken this too far this time.
Dominic Watson
Jeep a shit
Noah Morgan
tacomas are kind of ridiculous in the $15,000 price range too though
Ian Mitchell
OK bud. Post your rig then. Or do you not even own one?
Connor Reed
What i own wont change jeeps quality. Not sure why you would think it would
Colton Johnson
Never said it would Ever vehicle has a down side, all of them. You just want to cherry pick, so just keep shitting up the thread with pics you google and things you know nothing about
Brandon Hall
kek
Nathaniel Torres
Are you trying to deny well known issues?
Hudson Hernandez
If lifting a TJ and throwing 35s on it and expecting the rear not to fail is a "known issue" then no.
Noah Gutierrez
They fail stock. So you claim i know nothing, when in fact i have done the research and you havent. Really makes you think

My brother has a fj
Holy fuck that this is shitty. Ugly as fuck inside and out The fake hood scoop is pure cancer triggers my autism Interior is ugly and uncomfortable Drives like fucking dogshit.
Save your money. Keep your wrx

Almost any stock toothpick axle is going to fail when you double the stock rotating mass.
Zachary Jackson
Thats not the issue. Its the axle retainer Go read moron. It happens STOCK
Angel Cruz
>he thinks rotating mass will make an axle fall out Hahahahaha jeep fags are retarded
Matthew Gonzalez
N..new to offrading here, w..what is wrong with the stock jeeps, I am actually making the decision between it and a Suzuki pretty soon
Christopher Thompson
The suzuki will last longer
Jordan Hill
K, was leaning towards ricemobile for Veeky Forumstist value. honestly though, what about jeeps make them do that and what could be done to fix it?
Kayden Young
Its the factory axle retainer. It just isnt strong enough.
Camden Jackson
I am aware of jeep axle failures but i not aware of a stock axle with stock tires destroying a retaining clip. Every picture you have posted looks like a lifted TJ. From what i have read they come with a dana 30 or 35. The 44 being an option on higher trim models. Do you know how or why the retaining clip failed on these?
Xavier Fisher
If we are talking about Jimny then it's rear axle is not perfect either. It has no outer seal, after every water crossing you'll have to change axle oil. The axle bearing lives for 1 - 1.5 years max
