My wife has been wanting a new vehicle. Today she told me she wanted an FJ. She seemed dead serious. After the awful look on my face and my heart skipping a beat she said " I want a F**king Jeep".

 

Toyota is cancelling production of the FJ due to extremely low sales.

Walk her through the alphabet soup of electronics that are standard on the JK vs the hill assist on the FJ

Throwing the top back alone on a soft top or taking the roof panels off on a hard top should convince her.

Also let her experience the Jeep wave just once and she'll be a Jeeper.

 

Nice one!!

 

Now what you do is pretend you got the perfect jeep for her, then find the most beat up, rusted out YJ you can find, and pretend you bought it for her.

Revenge!

 

A Jeeper AND she has a sense of humor...KEEP HER! (and get that lady a Jeep!)

 

The FJ had so much potential but they ultimately failed when bringing it back a few years ago. I'm not really sure what they were shooting for actually?

 

Good god man! Buy her the Jeep! She wants one get it for her and then offer top marry her all over again!

 

My girlfriend has a FJ and i do like it somewhat but She wants to mod it up and black it out(which i have been doing) it also will give me a reason to mod my soon to be Jeep

 

That has been an unsubstantiated rumor for several years.

 

We traded our FJC in for our JK. My wife kept backing it into the side of our house.

It was a decent vehicle otherwise, but in the end it's just a funky body on the same damn running gear as a Tacoma and 4Runner... which are way more practical, logical and useful than a FJ.

So here's what you do: Take her for a testdrive in the most boring 4 Runner you can find and yawn a lot, then test drive an FJC with her, complain that it's all style over substance and that you liked the 4 runner better. Then almost run over your dog/child/pet cow/greyhound bus while backing it up... she'll be begging for a Jeep in no time...
