I have to tell you I really like the FJ, but it is just too much of a copy of a Hummer. They could have at least made the front end a little dissimilar. I'm thinking about getting one for my wife in the spring. I think any hummer is too much for her to handle, considering she is only 5'1

Drove an 06 & 07 , still dont know what to do . I'm not liking the lack of power at all , but love the truck.

I am curious how an alternator can have less drag at lower RPM unless it is not producing full voltage. The drag in an alternator is caused by resistance from a coil of wire spun inside an electromagnate. This drag fluctuates from electical draw. The bearings and brushes are a relative constant drag under all speeds.

That would mean that the stator and rotor are made better and produce electricity mor efficiently within themselves, but that wouldn't help with fuel economy, or reduced drag at lower speeds. There are relativily few moving parts in one, and most of the resistance is from the electromagnetic flux fields that the rotor passes through. The stronger they are, the more resistance.

You honestly believe a solid color would look better?
For $700-$800 you can have the dealer paint the top...

Well, I guess look-wise it looks simliar as far as the front end and the way the wheel wells look, but that's just my opinion. I would have also ended up getting a FJ if the H3 didn't come out (and would have taken it to a body shop to get the white roof painted).
