Get Some Air…

I’ve never really understood the desire to catch air in a truck…but I have to admit this is pretty good form. Nice scenery too.  Seems like jumping is some kind of a requirement if you own a Nissan Patrol…

Decisions, Decisions…FJ Cruiser or Rubicon Unlimited?

I have to confess that I am still intrigued by the new Toyota FJ (frame cracks not withstanding). Having driven and ridden in a couple of them, I can say that they are comfortable, fun, and definitely have a high cool factor. Combine that with the “classic” appearance, good after market availability, and reputed off-road capability, and you have the formula for a potential Jeep alternative.

The problem? Horrible visibility that is a serious detriment to city driving and would be a real PITA off-road. Solution? Take the top off. Now we’re getting somewhere…

This truck will be appearing at SEMA. My guess is that it will generate a swarm of fan mail and production requests…

“Kill all 2WD Jeeps…”

Ah yes…another online tirade for the Jeep boys to relate to. Problem #1 (apparently) is that there are 142 different 4×4 system configurations in current model Jeeps. Well, okay…10. Problem #2 is that 2WD Jeeps exist at all.

Someone translate this all for me… Command Trac vs. Quadra Trac vs. Rock Trac vs. Selec Trac…

More SEMA Eye Candy. This time a Toyota.

Ever consider a Toyota as a tow rig? Hmmmmm.
