Thai, interesting pics and comments on the FJC.
How did it perform on the Rocky ledge? Is it Diesel Or Petrol?

It's gas. It has the 4.0L V6 engine from the 4runner. FJC did not do the rock ledge this time because i did not want to push the owner. The FJC only had 600 miles on it...still in break-in period. I would feel really bad if he damaged it. And it would make him feel bad too if he could not make it up in his new car.

However, FJC made things look easy compared to the 4runner and GX470 KDSS. The hillclimb (not rockledge climb) was easy for FJC and my G, but was hell for the GX and 4runner. FJC comes standard with 32" tires...and the owner switched out to BFG AT KO. I think that the big two big differences between FJC and 4runner/GX are that FJC has a rear locker and more aggressive rubber.
