I just wonder what the real tradeoff is between cooler air and the fact that the air has to travel 5x as far. I bet it's a wash but would be interested to see numbers. Some snorkels are cool but this company's are cheesey looking.

I dun' think so... its defiantly a Jeep, most likly a TJ... because first off... the FJ just went into production this year (2007) and they are NOT convertibles, in fact, if I remember correctly, Toyota has never made a fully convertible SUV like the Jeep. I think Hummer is the only one that has a fully convertible SUV next to Jeep (there are other SUVs that are half convertible like the Geo)... It looks like an older TJ, right after it changed from CJ. And it looks like it has the LandRunner kit installed on it.

Either way, it’s defiantly a Jeep.

Wow!! I surely hope you know that basically everything that just was said is completely wrong. a) The FJ has been around for years and definately topless. b)Hummers suck and, c) The YJ was released right after the CJ. Plus, the entire shape of the doors and fender lines are not jeep lines.

I dig the old FJ's as well. Why they made the new one a hardtop with poor visibility makes no sense. They need to rip the top off of that thing.

"Anyone got a pic of one on the JK yet? From a show or otherwise? I am kinda iffy on thise particular brand based on their pictures from their website. "

I Emailed the guy for picts -inside and out and he was quick in writing back and very friendly. He said there were no real pictures because it was still a week or two away from being finished. He did say he would be happy to take a pre-order from me for one.

I was just kind of wondering if anyone was "braver" than I to order something that still had no picts or even final product yet.

BTW That was an older version Toyota FJ40 in that vid. They haven't been available stateside for quite a while, but as that vid was probably from Mexico (listen to them talking,) they may have been available there much later i.e. VW Bug.

I have seen those show Jeeps a thing or two, depends on the driver's skill.

Not only was that a Toyota, but it was a diesel BJ40 with an extraordinarily simple electrical system. It certainly won't be my rig, but I'm looking forward to one of you guys trying to recreate that vid in a jk...
