Wait im confused, why is the pic upside and the bezel? Unless its some kind of inside joke but then why shouldn't some people call it an FJ?
I guess it's a lame attempt at irony.Wait im confused, why is the pic upside and the bezel? Unless its some kind of inside joke but then why shouldn't some people call it an FJ?

Are you looking for the FJ Cruiser section? This isnt it.

No, but it is the fj40 section... I just don't understand why someone calling it an FJ would warrant a distinction. I've had plenty of people call my truck an FJ, Land cruiser, 40, anything but jeep is fine in my eyes. Thats why I said I didn't get it, and am asking for clarification...
Some of us who have revolved around the sun a lot like to get butt-hurt when people "call it an FJ." I think that goes back to when the FJ Cruiser was teased and many of us were disappointed to see it had minivan tires and IFS.
I think what sums it all up is, if you identify it as an FJ in conversation with the general population, their mind goes directly to the FJ Cruiser. Then it takes explaining and even showing a photo to make them understand FJ40. My wife says FJ all the time in conversation and then spends 5 minutes trying to unwind the other person's mind.
Around here typically, its a Land Cruiser, or a Cruiser and designated by FJ4x, or by its corresponding #. The FJ Cruiser is something else and a lot of folks will call it an fj, and it isn't considered a Land Cruiser. As for the Bezel the fat side goes up.

I think Bronco owners are about to experience the same fate.

Yea I knew that about the bezel, but the upside down picture plus the note at the bottom... then if the shirt is normal the bezel is upside down... so I got the irony but then the note isn't ironic which negates the bezel joke?
(I've been away from the forum for a few years. I must have missed the memo on "FJ")
"Is that an FJ?" Asks, the beautiful barista. "Yes, it is." - me
She could probably call it a Jeep and it would still be fine.
Reading some of your past posts, I doubt your answer would be that short.

I'm not usually one for boomer humor, but this feels relevant .
I will just see myself out, sorry..

Dude, I'm cohabitating with mice in the Cruiser. They get the engine bay, I get the cab, for the most part. They crack open hackberry seeds on the exhaust header, and crap in the freeze plugs on the head, pee on my battery. If I had a garage, the relationship would definitely be illegitimate.

Should be happy that's all they do. Have a neighbor with a couple year old RAV4. Twice it's been towed to the closest Toyota dealer for mice and wiring problems. The tow is at least 80 miles depending on which route the driver takes. Haven't parked any of our vehicles out side at the cabin for ten years. Even then was just acorns shells in the engine bay and nest make of TP in the glovebox. I keep a cup of sun flower seeds in the garage to be sure they is no unwelcome guests in there.
