There's a lot of people on this board who know a lot more about 1/4 mile times and speed than I do, but I've been off-roading for 20 years and the fj40 (and the FJ Cruiser) have a lot of respect on that side of the fence. If anything the H3 owes more to the FJ than the FJ to the H3. No denegration of the H3 intended, it was a fine vehicle in it's own right but it had some reliability issues and never gathered up as much aftermarket support as Jeeps and FJs did. *edit, I think they were both 06 my intros too, so I don't think 1 could have copied the other*

My bad. I thought everyone was aware that the announcement of the H3 going into production caused Toyotie to ressurect the FJ Loser.
