Maybe if I seen one done up really cool then maybe it might change my thoughts on them I have yet to be wowed by one

I was close to getting a blue one but ended up getting a tacoma instead. They're very comfortable to drive and look like fun cars.

Sick FJ. I was about to get one back in 07 and I was soo soo close to getting it but I ended up bailing out hahaha..
I read a lot of reviews about the FJ and basically it is bad ass off-road.
Post pics when you slap that lift and new bumper.

Look I'll be the first to say the FJ's are GAY! I really don't like the look but man once you start looking at them they grow on you and hey ITS AN FJ! I'm alreally looking for some nice bumpers/ a winch / 33" Tires and a 4" lift kit. ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)
Looking to take it off-roading soon - can't wait for rain/snow

I've seen a sick ass yellow one, blacked out rims with big ass tires, lifted, etc...they look COMPLETELY different once they're done up!

There is a yellow one out here on some nice sized black rims. Looks pretty sick. I heard good things about these cars and people that own them are fanatical about them. Not my type of hype but I consider it a come up. Congrats.!!

Congrats on the truck . Hope that it doesnt mean your not going to by a race car anymore .

hahaha no way man, This is a DD and I needed a 4x4 to get to work so I decided to get something I like. I'm sure having big cars and 4 wheeling is fun, But I'll keep my ass on pavement with fast cars.

if you drive so much, why did you get a car with such shitty mileage?
Posted by 93sspCOUPE (Member # 8418) on

I use to use my lifted Tacoma to commute it's an o7 prolly has the same motor and drivetrain as the fj. 3inch lift and 33's I still got good gas mileage and it is nice and comfy. Oh and I got 70k no wheel bearing problems or rear end problems and I will do an occasional brake stand here and there and burn that fucker out. Toyota trucks and SUVs besides the highlander are the shit!!! ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

read his post he needed a 4x4 to make it through the snow. I wouldn't leave that task to some 4cyl. And trust me the Toyota v6 gets pretty good mpg mine get 22-24 highway

the fj cruiser is rated at ridiculously low mpg.
and dont underestimate 4x4 4cyl

I tink it's rated around 20mpg??? It doesn't matter since if my wife would have agreed I'd have a h2 right now!

Nice ride. I found some cool fj pics online. Definitely needs a lift and some M/T MTZ tires. Lots of potential!!

check the facts most fj's get around 20-23 highway mpg
and i could give a fuck about a 4cyl 4x4 unless it was a straight rock crawler or mud machine and if thats the case then it most likely has really high gear ratios. but im not gonna turn op's thread into an argument.

No not lost. Talking Toyota, GM, Ford now Mopar.

Should watch my six? Thanks for the "Welcome"

Ya I would have loved a lifted f250 diesel, but I couldn't find a nice one and the deal I got on the fj was great so I couldn't pass it up!
I drove it last night when I got home and I love it all I can say is "let it snow, let it snow"
