I was pressed for time with my first simple response. I agree about the lack of visibility being a deal killer in the FJ. When they arrived I was immediately drawn to the look and Toyota reliability. I got a chance to drive one at the SD Auto show where Toyota had and outdoor off-road track for their 4x vehicles. Immediately after getting settled in the drivers seat I felt like I was in a WWII bunker with gun slits. Even though it was fun to drive on that track I knew it was not for me as soon as I stepped out. My wife drove a Land Rover Discovery at the time which has acres of visibility (but little of that Japanese reliability) which probably contributed to my impression. YMMV.
