Thats a sweet truck man I saw it posted on CL last week, I know it wasnt too far away from me. That guy wanted a good bit for it but after seeing whats done to it Id say it was def worth it. Good luck with the new truck!

I've been as far as to look a new FJ over. I think they are killer.

Trying to think of a reason I shouldnt get one...other than my wife says "the puppy's wouldnt fit in there"

I'd probably be done for if I ever drove one.

i was dead set on a taco, then i drove the fj. needless to say it was mine the next day. it goes pretty good offroad too! i wheel it sometimes lightly. its hard for me to take a 20k$ rig wheeling haha
