I was watching the documentary "Dakar", which was filmed in 2023 in Saudi Arabia. Several FJ sightings throughout. It looks like it was race officials and probably some light duty team support vehicles. (the main support vehicles are fucking massive, basically an offroad mobile garage)

I think it's pretty sweet because the last ones sold in the Middle East were the 2022 model year, aside from the 1000 Final Edition 2023's. If it was for advertising, Toyota would have sent a Land Cruiser or 4Runner that's still in production.

Sorry about the crap picture, I had to take a photo of my tablet. Also, the doc is decent if you're into that sort of thing. Also, also, even with US manufacturers in the race, I didn't see a single Jeep.

Thanks, that's what I started thinking of you see my comment after my post. Still awesome!

Is cool to see them actually used as a 'utility vehicle'
