I think The Toyota FJ40 is a snazzier looking vehicle, but I own a 1981 CJ-5.

Anyone remember when Subaru imported some 2 cylinder two cycle 4 wheel drives back around 1974? I saw the min Farmington NM back then. I also found some had been imported to Kansas City, but the EPA stopped them. Later they imported the Samurai.

The vintage landcruiser was good.

I have an 82 cj7 in pieces.

I think you’re mistaking Subaru with Suzuki who is the one that imported the Samurai.

Are you thinking of the Suzuki "Mini Brute"? I momentarily thought about buying one, but eventually bought my CJ7. (A lot of good that roll bar is going to do without seat and shoulder belts!)

1987 Suzuki Samurai

I’d never heard of that

Saab had some two strokes back in the late 50s I think

Citroen too

I didn’t know about Subaru

Fj40 today ain’t cheep

We have had a 2001 FJ100 almost since it was born in Toyota City

280,000 mikes and my son drives it now

Best car I ever owned

I have a 2010 FJ too

You just cannot do better hardly

We own two jeeps as well a two door and four door

No question the jeeps are better in tight or very rocky off road

But that FJ 100 is luxury and off-road in spades

I worked on both many of the Jeeps from the early CJs on up & also quite a few Toyota FJ Cruisers. The Toyota was by far better built. Jeeps were always overpriced for what you got which was usually ancient technology.

Had a hard top version when I was in High School. Looked like this one, but was Beige in color.

Still a big Jeep fan. My first was a YJ (square headlight) 4 cylinder. Then a couple of TJs, a Rubicon and a Sahara, then an LJ. That was probably the best Jeep I’ve ever had, regret selling it. Had a set of factory half doors and full doors for it. Now I have a JKU (current 4 door model) Sahara. They are really fantastic cars, but that’s kinda the problem. They’re more car, than Jeep.
