Top stuff Ben

You do realise though ..... that you will be required to sit around the campfire each night and sing WALTZING MATILDA, with all the verses in the right order :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its just UN-AUSTRALIAN for the troopers to arrive before the jumbuck gets nabbed :lol: :lol:
Think of it as a right of passage :lol: :lol:

Cheers

Also it is an absolute must know answer that you know the name of the swagman in the song. Just for reference it is Andy. :lol: :lol:

Andy is correct..

It says so in these lines from the song.

And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boil
and
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong

But the silly buggers misspelt his name, Its not "And he"or "And his", its "Andy"......

he he.

I will be passing out FJ Bruisers stickers for those helping me out.

I will also be passing through Duty Free.

The Best buying tip for duty free....Without taxes you can get the 18 yo. Scotch for the same price as the 12 yo. stuff.

I heard your in a drought, so I will drink it neat.

Re: Food ideas for GTG

So are these FJ Cruisers the American version of the Prado? I looked at the FJBruiser site and the cars look more like Hummers. I love the colours though, very bright and much better than the colours we have available in the Prado range.

Re: Food ideas for GTG

I've had the pure fun of driving the FJ Cruisers at the Bruiser's MudFling. Ben's FJ would have to be the best equipped 4by I've had the pleasure of. As we drove along the interstate, Ben's yellow truck, towing a yellow caravan drew more looks and toots then Jennifer Hawkins experiencing a wardrobe malfunction.... (ok, maybe not that many looks, but you get the idea ) Really amazing!

Whilst the Prado and FJ share certain common elements to their drivetrain, that's where the similarities end. The FJ felt much more like a serious 4wd to me.

This details some of the fun we had in Shenandoah Valley: FJBruisers host PPer on their MudFling - Day 1.

Here's me driving (hmmm scraping) down Dictum Ridge in one of the Toyota Trail's team trucks - can you believe they let me drive their truck??? You can hear Ben in the background... Five Dollars . The going rate for an FJ Cruiser driver hitting the horn. And compare my effort with Ben driving his rig.... Those darned cowbells .

LFaR.

Here is a link to our web-site that has the history of how the Land Cruiser started. http://www.fjbruisers.org/?p=500#more-500

Here is a link to a Land Cruiser Forum about the engine designations (as in FJ, BJ) The FJ's designation is the GSJ15. http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj-cruiser/9...e-history.html

This also explains the differences (and similarities) of the FJ Cruiser and 120 Prado.

So the 'F' comes from the engine type and the 'J' stands for Jeep. Now I've learnt something

Actually that has been a rumor for a while that FJ stood for Fake Jeep, but it was probably started by jealous Jeepers being passed on a steep incline by an FJ. The BJ (later became the FJ) was designed during the Korean war when the Jeep wasn't cutting it with the harsh terrain, they needed a tougher vehicle.

The 'F' is the engine Designation and the 'J' is the body designation. Some others believe it was the classification for the design team or factory it was built in.
