Toyota has announced at the SEMA show in Las Vegas that this is the last year for the distinctive FJ Cruiser. From the beginning Toyota said that the FJ Cruiser would be a single-generation vehicle, and – after an 8-year run – they’ve made good on that statement.
I remember with fondness my 2007 Sun Fusion 6-speed FJ Cruiser. Never understood the lack of sunroof, but I dearly loved the bolt-on wonderfulness that is Toyota design (pretty much everything came pre-drilled and pre-wired on the FJ; all you had to do was plug in a switch, add a foot of wiring harness, or pop-off the covers and you had everything offered in the Toyota options list added to your base model FJ.
I love to hike. I love the outdoors. One thing that disrupts the flow on our hiking trails is the insurgence of mountain bikes ridden in an unsafe manner on trails where mountain bikes aren’t allowed to be that puts hikers and the mountain bikers at risk.
Here is one last reminder to get your registration in for Operation Desert Fun, a great fundraiser for the Cal-Diego Paralyzed Veterans Association and Cal4Wheel. Truck on down to the Truckhaven 4×4 Training Facility in the Ocotillo Wells SVRA for some all vehicle action. There are trails for all skill levels, a great vendor show, a raffle and lots more to keep you busy. Kids can even ride as long as they are accompanied by an adult.
And it’s about damned time!
