FJ Cruiser Forum Websites: You have options

The most popular online precense is the one that really gave birth to our magazine, and they've been a great supporter and advertiser with us since the beginning. FJCruiserForums.com is a huge community, with over 64,000 members (around 15,000 active) at the time of this article. There are forums for nearly every FJ Cruiser related topic you can think of, along with special forums for events and several regional forums. There is a vast amount of wealth on the 'blue room', although (like most vBulletin systems), finding that info can be a bit tough. Still, if you want to know something about FJCs, it's a good place to start. The forum has the most supporting vendors of any FJC Community, which is great for special deals and group buys. There is quite a bit of advertising throughout the site as well, although once you're a registered member the ads are a little more bearable.

 

Quite a few years ago a large group of invididuals 'broke away' from the Blue Room and started their own FJ Cruiser Forum site, called FJCCentral.com. That site is currently offline, so we're not sure what the status of the forum is.

The other 'major' FJC Forum site is actually called FJCForums.com, and it originated as SoCal FJ Cruiser Forums. A few months ago the owners decided to 'go global' and created the new name, then merged the old site into the worldwide FJC Forum. LIke most of the others, it's powered by vBulletin so the interface should be familiar. It's similarly organized with sub forums for most FJC related topics, along with topics for events, trail runs, and vendors. This site is still growing and currently has 3,600+ members (1500 active), and a smaller list of vendors. You'll also notice a major difference in the number of ads you see on this website. A major difference from the Blue Room is that FJCForums.com is run by Toyota enthusiasts versus a major corporation.

There are many, many regional based FJ Cruiser forum sites as well. While we will probably miss a few, here are some of the top sites:

• AZFJ.org
• ColoradoFJC.com
• FJcc.com.au (Australia)
• FJNortheasters.org
• FJBruisers.org
• ncfjcruisers.com
• norcalfjs.com
• texasfjforums.com
• fjcruiserquebec.com
• FJ-uae.com

Of course many popular Toyota centric and other Off Road Forums include FJ Cruiser sections. Some focus mainly on modifications (tech) and some are more wide open:

• IH8MUD FJ Section
• Yotatech FJCs
• Pirate 4x4 FJ Cruiser section
• TacomaWorld FJCs
• TTORA FJ Cruisers

Lastly, Facebook has begun to show quite a few FJ Cruiser communities building up, including:

• FJC Magazine FB Page
• FJC Fan club of Australia
• FJ Cruiser Page
• FJ Cruiser Page (International)
  
• FJ Cruiser 4x4 Club (Australia)
