The dealers in Canada are also telling buyers this. Present stock excluded, getting an FJC will no longer be an option. They are blaming this descision on $6.72 a gallon fuel prices.

I have no idea what you are talking about. But if you think the FJC is a nice car, forget about it!

Well, since you refer to you FCJ as a showy car, I think I have my answer.............

This is one topic you will never see on the 40 board...........

Those lens guards are silly looking. Really, what can a little bit of bent wire protect? If you back into a tree you get a smashed lens and buggered sheetmetal.

Squealing will be belt related. And if the A/C compressor was left on it will be even worse. I would not think it is oil pressure related. Low oil pressure can cause knocking and valve train noise but I have never heard a cold engine squeal from lack of oil.

I would have to say the FJC may be the vehicle worst Police vehicle ever. High speed stability? Power? Prisoners? No way. Might be good for a small rural department that does not have to do any of these things.

Thats the FJC I would buy if they offered it. Solid front that is.

Why do you need this? You are supposed to keep the diff off the rocks! Anyway, I think this just lowers your clearance.

That pic is of a proper water crossing, not the deepest water ever crossed by any cruiser. It was taken 1500km's from my house. I drove my 40 there, just like it is pictured (no hard top) on 37 inch tires. The only trailer I used was the 3500lb tent trailer I pulled with the 40. The trail we...

Can't you read? I said 4 1/2 feet. Any deeper and I would take off the fan belt before crossing. And yes, I've had water over the hood and the stock intake did not drown. Its seems to hide in that little pocket up near the hood. Any deeper than that and we find another crossing, because the...

Maybe two drinks!:D Seriously, if you think you NEED a snorkel to cross water............. This creek is about 4 1/2 feet deep in the middle. Cross facing slightly down stream and keep your speed steady but slowish. And don't touch the clutch. I've found that snorkels are bolt-ons that are...
