I bought this book on the FJ Criuser a few years ago, then bought the actual FJ Cruiser a few weeks ago! I am glad I did not buy the Hummer H1 nor the H2 -
The FJ is more practical for off-roading with the car like gas mileage it gives you. I only drive it Off-Road and for the HWYs, I drive my Bimmer. Buy the book if you are into the out-door and 4x4 wheeling. (Review Data Last Updated: 2009-12-27 22:00:13 EST)

I can remember the first time I saw a Toyota FJ40 as a child. It was love at first sight. I was so excited when I saw the concept FJ Cruiser in 2003.
When the FJ Cruiser was released in 2006, I was quick to get one. It was everything I dreamed of and more. This book is a great history of the FJ Cruiser and the modern SUV in general. There are so many things that I learned about this truck, and other vehicles like the Jeep, and Land Rover. This details the FJ since its birth during the Korean War to modern day. One of my favorite areas of the book, is how they detail the design process for the modern FJ Cruiser. While the FJ Cruiser is cool on its own, some of the design ideas that didn't make it just completely WOW you. This book is the perfect gift for an FJ Cruiser or FJ40 owner. Or just a great way to learn about a historic vehicle. (Toyota wouldn't be the company it is today if it weren't for the FJ) (Review Data Last Updated: 2009-12-27 22:00:13 EST)

I am a bright yellow Toyota FJ Cruiser lover whom greatly enjoys this book. It is a perfect reference to accompany the owner's manual as it explores the vehicle's history, engineering, designs, and much more.
