Any chance adding "FJCruiser" to this Toyota sub forum title?

[Chris Sandstorm Fj]

I was thinking nothing more then adding the name FJCruiser to this Toyota sub forum. Toyota:Tacoma, Truck, 4Runner, FJCruiser...

Overland Hadley's suggestion seems good also.

This way, those that are looking for a place to land have a natural place to start. I agree that since it is an IFS rig, it would be best placed here.

As far as sharing anything with the LandCruiser..Man that has been debated and I have shared in "kicking that dead horse" so-to-speak..Toyota must have intended it to be very similar in many ways to the 40 and then some designer gone wild must have got to it, probably never off-roaded in his/her life.."rear/side vision" we don't need no stinking rear/side vision."

Anyway, on the Rubicon, outside of the articulation you get with a solid front axle, the FJC handled very close to a 40. Agile, powerful, Mule-like and a bit tippy as any short wheel base might.

Thanks for considering, really appreciate it.

I like seeing FJCs just as much as the next guy, but they share nothing in common with Land Cruisers other than the "T". My vote would be for individual sub-forums grouped by related chassis/drivetrains.

You do realize they use the same engine and the FJ uses a shortened land cruiser prado (120 series) frame???

I would say that is more than just both being Toyotas.

Im fine with it as is: Toyota trucks (and 4runner, which was originally based off the toyota truck) and land cruisers.

The Prado, FJ, 4Runner and Tacoma all share a lot of the same components from the 120 series. The FJ should be included with them, not in the Land Cruiser section.

Why not put all the SUV's in one forum and put all the trucks in the other forum?

Oh, my bad. Yeah, I've got nothing against that.

Well, we could do that but honestly the Gen 1-3 4Runner is much more closely related to the pickup/Tacoma than it is to any LC. And an LC75 series truck (we don't get them in the US but other parts of the world do) doesn't share any components with a Hilux or Tacoma so it would make no sense to put it in the truck section.

IMO the Land Cruisers are significantly different enough to justify a separate forum, and I would put both the FJC and the Prado in the LC forum. The 4th Gen 4runner is the odd man out here, being more closely related to an LC (Prado) than to a pickup but given the fact that there are a lot more Gen 1-3 4runners (which are pickup-based) I'd say keeping 4runners grouped with pickups and Tacomas makes sense.

No organization system is perfect, after all.

Everyone other one is just "jeep" or "nissan" so why not Toyota also?

Thanks for backing me up :victory:

this is true and would be the most beneficial for mechanical topics.

then again for modding otherwise, there are unique topics that make the pickup vs suv segregation a legit way to go too.

Mods, can we add the FJC to "Tacoma, Truck, 4Runner"?
