Our sources have told us that internal Toyota systems are showing the FJ Cruiser will in fact be discontinued after the 2014 model year. Although the demise of the FJC has been rumored since way back in 2009, this is the first ‘very likely’ news we’ve received about discontinuation. Toyota is not commenting on the future of the FJC beyond “there will be a 2014 model”, so this revelation will still remain in the rumor category until we get official word, which probably won’t happen until 2014.

We're heading to Overland Expo at Mormon Lake, AZ next week via a 3 day mini-vaca to Ridgway, CO. The FJC crew rolls out of Colorado Springs first thing Saturday morning, but there are a few minor things we need to take care of before we head out:

• Clean the MORV trailer so Jim (Tacoma Magazine) can pull it to Mormon Lake
• Change the oil & grease the drivetrain on the FJC
• Give the FJ a much needed bath & detailing
• Setup the DropCam (live.zaxyn.com) to cover the FJ Cruiser teardown at Redline Land Cruisers
• Pack the family for our journey
• Verify the National Luna dual batteries & Indel-B Fridge (from Equipt - booth #20 at the Expo) are good to go

What are you doing to prepare for the trip? We look forward to seeing everyone in Arizona!!

 

All of your east-coast FJ lovers listen up! The FJ Bruisers will once again host their Spring Mud Fling this May at Rausch Creek Off Road Park in PA. This is a great event with a long history, so get over to their website & check it out!

We just noticed that Toyota has updated their FJC site with an all new design. It looks like it's a complete redesign of their site, we're pretty happy with the features.

The on-page comparison with a basic Jeep Wrangler is nice, as are the details related to off-road in general. The site has a bit of a 'cartooney' feel, but overall it's an improvement over the last version, which was over 6 years old.

What do you think of the new site?
