End of an Era.... (1 Viewer)

I like the FJ Cruisers too much! (I tell the wife I need airbags and safety seat attachments for our soon to be born daughter! )

Looks like I'm jumping ship to another forum spot...hope ya'll will forgive me!

Check out the For Sale section....

We'll say goodbye just like we said hello:

 

[mot]

Will be sad to see you go...

But will be happy to see you mod the FJC, too!

What color is it going to be?

 

[Hltoppr]

My first Land Cruiser, a 1976 FJ40 was sky blue, so I'm going with the "Voodoo Blue" in honor of that wonderful machine!

I'll be on the moto for a couple of months until the hype of the FJCs wears off...

You'll miss the 80!

 

[Hltoppr]

...don't tell me that! Every time I get in the 80 I still love the truck. I hope to find it a good home...

I'm sure it'll be fine, but I would wait until said baby is 1 yr old, it is a pain to get a kid in a permanently mounted rear facing car seat once they are out of their carrier. We had an Element with similar doors/seating. It became very cumbersome (you probably will not believe it until you have to do it frequently), you have to get in the opposite side using the double door dance and then climb in to the back seat. Also it will probably be fine, but with just one baby you would be suprised at the amount of stuff you have to load up for just an overnight trip. I like the FJC too, but I don't like to buy new, and I want to wait until we are past the baby stage (one 10 mo old and one more on the way), then it will be time to convince the wife her next car should be a lightly used FJC .

Geez, Firetruck...ya' want me to be rational about this?

I keep saying my FJC mantra...car seat will fit....car seat will fit....car seat will fit...

The car seat will fit.
































































It will just be THE BIGGEST PAIN IN YOUR ASS TILL YOUR KID(S) IS ONE YEAR OLD! (then they can switch to forward facing child seat)

 

[Hltoppr]

LOL...

What a better way to begin training my daughter to appreciate the sickness that is my love of cruisers!

LMAO "merkin"

Had to look up that one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin
A merkin (first use, according to the OED, 1617) is reported to be a pubic wig, worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia to eliminate lice or to disguise the marks of syphilis. A similar, though anachronistic, claim not made in OED is that merkins were worn for nude stage appearances.

 

[Hltoppr]

Perfect description, huh!

If you wait about 2 years I'll be in the market for an 80...

I still expect you to answer 3FE questions over on ExPo

 

[T Y L E R]

You say goodbye and I say hello, hello, hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello, hello, hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello


Enjoy it ...
