I have $15-16k to spend on a new vehicle. I currently drive

If you don't mind an absolutely horrendous interior then go with the FJ.

Otherwise just get a Jeep like all the other IPA loving yuppies that are plaguing my homeland.

FJ is... Unusual car. Crazy narrow windshield, ugly interior and for it's basically for you and one passenger only. Backseats are pretty meh.
Also early FJ's suffer from front body integrity failure (not sure how to name this issue correctly), needs to be reinforced.

FJ being a 10/10 vehicle
Jeep being a 1/10
No one wants a jeep

My pal owned one for a short time. He actually hated it. He had Tundra before FJ and FJ dissapointed him greatly.

>>16743722
I actually like the FJ's interior. I would get a jeep but I've heard they're god awful these days

Lol idiot

>>16743744
As someone who's actually driven both and not just "heard" about the quality of one, the FJ is dogshit.

independent front suspension crawler LOL

Honestly though i shopped for a solid year. Researched pretty much everything there was to research. I test drove each in a manual and an auto. While the FJ felt better on the freeway everything about it was underwhelming. The best part about the FJ was the tripple wipers and the integrated rear view back up cam. Until you figure out that the wipers are just gonna cost more and the rearview is because u cant see shit out of the back of an FJ.
The jeep felt like much better quality, i know weird right. Also the FJ was in serious need of an update, toyota just let if fade away when they could have improved it.
TRD Pro FJ would have been cool but it never made it that far.

Are you trying to deny well known issues?

>>16743880
If lifting a TJ and throwing 35s on it and expecting the rear not to fail is a "known issue" then no.

Almost any stock toothpick axle is going to fail when you double the stock rotating mass.

>>16744134
K, was leaning towards ricemobile for /o/tist value. honestly though, what about jeeps make them do that and what could be done to fix it?

>>16744152
Its the factory axle retainer.
It just isnt strong enough.

>>16743908
I am aware of jeep axle failures but i not aware of a stock axle with stock tires destroying a retaining clip. Every picture you have posted looks like a lifted TJ. From what i have read they come with a dana 30 or 35. The 44 being an option on higher trim models.
Do you know how or why the retaining clip failed on these?

If we are talking about Jimny then it's rear axle is not perfect either. It has no outer seal, after every water crossing you'll have to change axle oil. The axle bearing lives for 1 - 1.5 years max
