Are you thinking of the older FJ's or the new FJ Cruiser?

We had a 72 FJ 55 which my wife rolled in the middle of the night on I-80 in Wyoming. Ended up in the ditch upright. Put it in 4WD got back on the highway and kept driving. Had a canoe on top and you could see the impression in the dirt where it landed on top of the canoe. No damage to the canoe (OT Tripper). Busted out a rear window when my metal toolbox hit it and popped the rubber gasket out around the windshield.
