Brian, you are starting to sound like Paul C... LOL

Oh, man!

Well, I don't think I'm that bad. For one thing I don't preach buying only Toyota dealer parts. Especially since the dealer OEM parts nothing more than repacked and higher priced parts that you can buy at your local store or from EB or Marlin or elsewhere. And I like EB and would buy from him in heartbeat. So, there are definately differences between us.

Harry,

The reason I give the domestics a lot of crap is from personal experience.

I've driven many different makes and styles of rigs over the years, including brand new rigs and I can see a major difference. Especially as they get older and rack up the miles. The two domestics and Chrysler are definately getting better in their quality, but there are still more problems in those rigs than some Japanese rigs. And I should make clear, it's not a Japanese verses American thing. Because some Japanese manufactures really suck too. I'm specificly talking about Toyota/Honda/Subaru. In my experience, in all the rigs I've driven and used, they are the highest quality vehicles. Just my opinion.

I do give credit where credit's due and I'm glad that Jeep is offering things like electric lockers, lower T-case gears, and diesel engines. I know that Jeeps are capable off road, especially when you dump a little money into them. I'm not primarily comparing off road capability. I'm comparing build and parts quality and also design quality.

Jeep obviously cares more about it's image in the off road world than Toyota does. I'm not going to argue against that by any means. The only reason Toyota even builds off road capable rigs overseas is to sell to commercial users and farmers. Jeep is specificly targeting the off road enthusiest, which is something that I think is a very good thing.

I'm hoping the FJ Cruiser is Toyota's response to that new market and not just another mini-SUV as some have suggested.
