I've been into Cruisers since 1980, starting with a '71 FJ40 and now with a '93 FJ80. The guy who sits right next to me at work has an FJ100, I believe an early 2000's.
Up through the 80 series, Cruisers were no-compromise off-road rigs that were o.k. for street duty. Beginning with the 100, they have been being slowly transformed from that original mission to one hell for stout street vehicle that is o.k. for off road. It's lost its hard core focus. That's good news for most, and most really are better off with the newer 100's, replete with V8, independent front ends, and other niceties. They are still tougher and more capable than most. When in doubt go with the 100; if your are going to seriously work it off-road, go with the 80.
