Help convince me to not buy an FJ Cruiser - Page 2

Thanks for all of the advice guys. We got a 2010 FJ last night. 34k Miles with 7yr/100k warranty for $27,500. Found some private sellers that were cheaper, but no warranty. This deal seemed to beat anything I could find from any other dealer.

Great color!
Have fun with it, and what are your plans for it?

My immediate plans are a roof rack, undercoating, 3M carbon wrap for the top, and some bumpers. Then tires/lift. I'm torn between going 3" or 6"... I'm leaning more towards the 6" rough country with some new shocks. Any recommendations?

Edit: Thanks by the way!

I would go with an OME 2.5" lift similar to mine.
You start raising them to high, you can run into issues.
With mine I clear 33" tires perfectly.

Depending on what you plan on carrying up on top, take a look at BajaRack's selection.

I have the MG rack for the Maggiolina tents, but they replaced it with their Utility rack, pretty much the same thing.
