Oh you have much to learn Things thought to be mingin turn out to be quite acceptable after a while. OH hated brown interior in cars and would avoid it like the plague, however it's now quite acceptable. Red Velour however is still mingin

I also thought FJ's were awful, but now I quite like them, I suppose when you get used to seeing stuff it becomes normal.

In the lemon aid guide the FJ is not recommended and gets slated. Looked at one and decided to give it a miss.

I'm a great believer in "each to their own", I only meant it in jest, kinda, lol.

But it does kind of remind me of this:

I fish, shoot and will need to get a boat in and out of water. i have been known to ski and look forward to getting my legs again, FJ's fit the bill. i only pray it will be reliable.

I have just let go a county LWB L/R 300 series, fantastic wagon, they seem too expensive in canada or I would take one there.

For anyone reading his, FJ's are terrible vehicles, very unreliable and loose money quicker than Rangers, don't buy one. That should make them cheaper when we arrive

A guy I worked with in the UK used to make a second income by buying cheap used cars and driving them to Russia to sell when visiting his relatives there. So it's not exactly been unknown in the past.

fit a pintle mounted GPMG and I could use this to fish, shoot and be the boat. I see the resemblance, ugly, but so am I.

Will it accept retro fit ski's?
