I don’t know why people are criticising the FJ! If you haven’t driven one, then don’t say anything!! I have one and drive it on a dirt road a few times a week and it is withstanding the craziness that other vehicles cannot! It’s awesome and it looks good! I have recieved so many compliments on it! Those who have ridden in it agree that it is one tough cookie!!

Looks super! although it looks almost like the hummer. I sure hope they come up with a convertible

Johnny! Long time my friend. I’m sure the FJ would get a good workout in, and around, the Nakuru area. Shoot, that Naivasha-Nakuru stretch is the worst I’ve seen in a long time. I’m not going to forget that matatu ride any time soon.

I would be more than happy to test one out here on some African roads. Just send me one and I will let you know how it holds up.

Swoosh! Don’t make me come down to your house and samba you. You know you’re jealous of my ’68 VW camping van.

You know, we took that thing on a 10 day, 1000 mile vacation just 2 years ago. Sure, it had a few hiccups – like the spark plugs popping out – but a little jua kali work made everything just fine. 🙂

Boerseun – I’m going to give it an 8/10 for looks. I don’t think it shares many of the characteristics that made the original Landcruisers great, but I do like the funky look.

as for this FJ (F’in Junk), keep in mind, this spot is brought to you by the same fellow who shika’s a nice 75 VW van on his camping trips, he he

Will have to see if they are around like the old Toyota bakkies you see all over South Africa used by farmers every day. My grandfather, who passed away last year was driving his 1975 Toyota Bakkie until then, and now my Grand Mother drives it as needed… 31 years and counting.

You know, I always liked those old Suzukis though. They were so light that when everyone else was sliding off the muddy roads into ditches, we floated along the top right through it. Also, if you get in trouble with a Suzuki, you just throw it in the back of a lorry. 🙂

Let’s see if we can get those guys at Toyota to let you put one up for a test while you’re in Kenya… Who knows, stranger things have happened.
