Another really great thing we did is to buy Spider Spikes. They snap on in about 30 seconds and come off even faster. They're expensive but if they keep me and the wife out of the snow and out of the way of skidding flatlanders, it's worth it. I'd be happy to pass along the e-mail address if anybody is interested. (no, I'm not affiliated, just a satisfied customer) !

They are easy to use, I still have an old set from my 98 GMC suburban in our garage! easiest chains to put on

you know, a great set of snow tires really makes all the difference.

they'll get you into town when the chp is making everyone put on chains. i have an old 4wd honda that'll eat the pants off of anyone's car in the snow. it's a beast!

I only bought the FJ because I couldn't get any of these in 4x4.

I did find this but no one would part with their precious baby.

You forgot about the "Hornet!" .... LOL...

My dad owned an Eagle!!

It was useless....he sold it after not too long.

I am sure the FJ would grow on me... it is just different, not what I would expect to see in a Landcruiser.

Are you bragging S_D or just really happy with your choice?

Is it just me, or is that the ugliest Landcruiser they have ever made?

It reminds me of some weird European vehicle.!

I thought about what you said Robilin; then what it reminded me of hit me...

I thought my car was real cool when I saw a crowd standing in line to look at it Lyttle Creek. Then I figured out what they were doing, good thing I had it locked.

kawasaki_girl · « **Reply #74 on:** Jul 02, 06, 02:53:09 PM »

tooo funny!

the blue one looks like a porta-jon!
the black one looks like a european cop car!
the yellow one looks like a taxi-cab

but I bet it is a neat car, anyways!

Do you take it off-road?

Hi Surfer Dude...

I love them FJ Cruisers you are a lucky guy

I think I spoke to your wife about it at the hardware store a few weeks or so ago. I am pretty much a "BIG TRUCK" kinda girl. But, if I had the money I would not hesitate for a minute to buy an FJ Cruiser. Wise Choice! So many of the other SUV / Jeep type of vehicles look too similar & foo foo style in my opinion. This FJ Cruiser stands proud & tough lookin'!

Surfer_Dude · « **Reply #76 on:** Jul 02, 06, 05:19:02 PM »

I haven't taken it in "rough stuff" but I do go through the fire roads in Lyttle Creek all the time.

I was in high school when my older sister came to visit in her pacer. My brother and I couldn't stop laughing. That had to be the UGLIEST car I'd ever seen.
