A couple of months ago, my wife and I decided we'd had enough of paying high gas prices for a Dodge Hemi, and her car. So, since we both really like off road 4 wheeling, We traded both vehicles for 1 Toyota FJ Cruiser. We've been having a blast with it out in the wilderness. And... we've been getting to spend alot more time together, which is a really a good thing. Now instead of spending $100.00 plus per week for the Hemi, I spend about $15.00 a week cause now I ride one of the bikes. Now we have one much lower car payment, and we are saving at least $100 per week on gas. And.... we are 4 wheeling at least one day every weekend... We're having a blast with the FJ, and its loaded with off road extras... Anyhow, just thought I'd share. Here are a couple of pics.

Thanks Rich, I'm getting a custom hitch so I can still drag the bies around. This pic pic near the corral is about 1 1/2 mile north east of Superior off of 177. The other are all on the way up Montana Mountain. I'll see if I can come up with a couple more pics.

Nice 4x4!! Don't you just love our back roads and scenery? I am about to go Bull Elk hunting in the high country in a couple of weeks. I can't wait.
 
We have a great time in the FJ. It takes us to places we would probably have never been able to go to.
 
Right now we have a total of 67 roads/trails to choose from. We're checking them off one by one....

Sweet rig!
When are they going to sell that thing with a turbo diesel like the one they use in four runners and landcruisers around the world?
 
Yeah its a great 4 wheeler. Thanks for all the cudos. We want to do a back country camp trip too. Right now we just have to settle for the weekends.
 
I really like the new FJ. I think that it is a bit too long. Kinda wished it were a short wheel base truck like the old one, or like the Isuzu Amigo. But I would buy one if I could.
