Wes, I always had a soft spot in my heart for the fj40. They were pretty nice vehicles but I found the m -38 first! John jr

I like 'em both!
Interesting that they chose a '76 FJ-40 for a show called "Generation Gap" - yes, it's post-'74 and 24 years newer than the M38 so I guess that makes it a generation, but it's closer to an M38 than most SUVs built since. Pretty pointless comparison - just a bunch of subjective opinions and didn't even take 'em off the pavement. Ten minutes of my life I won't get back 
Creature comforts in a '76 FJ-40? Wonder what he was imagining when he said that. Pretty spartan vehicle even by standards of its day.
Ya'll catch some of the technical errors they made? Locking differential on an M38? Twist these things (lock-out hubs on the FJ) and the differential is locked? "In WWII, this Jeep could have been produced by Kaiser Jeep . . ."

I knew better. I only read the article. I ignore the opinions column. Only cost me 60 seconds out of my life! |
Smart man.
The opinions I was referring to were those of the hosts in the video. An attempt to be entertaining and knowledgeable, but failed at both. I didn't even dare look at the comments column.

Nope. Wasn't any good with them, either!
