JD, I think you will love it. Had they put out the FJ's with body-mathced roofs, you wouldn't even have thought that.

 

You will love the SE... i know i had doubts at first, but as each day goes by, I like it more and more....

 

There is an advertisement for the SE in Bike magazine. Only one I have seen.

 

Thanks very much for the feedback, guys- I really think it's just a matter of seeing the thing live.

By the way Nate- it was either in this forum or another than you talked about trying to figure out if the TRDs are individually numbered. It looks like you're not the only one who focused on that 3-digit number under the VIN. There's one on Ebay right now that the seller claims is #924 (or somewhere around there). He includes a picutre of the sticker with the VIN and the number underneath. If I'm correct though, someone else pointed out the 3-digit number is in fact not unique to the TRDs- all FJs seem to have it.

Thanks again- can't wait for mine!

 

Yes, you are correct! That number has nothing to do with the SE.

I did a lil' research here:

Do you have a link to the ebay sale SE?

 

awesome toy kinda perty though needs some mud, great lookin truck

 

Hey Guys,

I'm a new member...just took delivery of my SE yesterday! I was wondering if you know if the Leatherman was dealer provided or from Toyota? (Mine didn't have one) Thanks for the help!

 

it's a goodie in one of the dealer option packages along with the first aid kit etc

 

Aha! Thanks Nate

 

!@#$% YEAH! Mine came in yesterday and you guys were right- the thing is downright gorgeous! Drives like dream too- I had heard that some did not like the exhaust tone, but I think it's great. Also, not to take anything away from those with autos, but the quickshifter takes it to a whole different level of fun. The knob is the size of a pool ball (and feels like one too) and the short throw feels more like a sportscar than an SUV.

The only major downside so far has been the same thing everyone complains about- visibility. The blind spots on the thing are quite astounding. The other thing that shocked me was the horn- the first time I hit it, I half-expected one of those bullhorns you hear at a hockey game. What came out instead sounded more like something that should come from my son's tricycle.

Oh well, ya can't win em all. Did anyone else get the stick? Thoughts???

 

Grats on the buy.

 

Jeep, see either my personal website in the FJC Mods section, or in the FJ section here in my mods thread.
I have the cure for your horn.

 

I LOVE the exaust tone myself.

Congrats on getting a stick! Those are very rare indeed. You are a lucky man.

The main thing I like about my SE is the suspension. The ride is soooo plush and smooth. Even when hitting old desert dirt roads with lots of 'washboarding'... the tuned TRD suspension just soaks it up making for a great ride.

 

I want those rims!!!
Great looking ride:bigclap:

 

im jsut not sold on the black top, too much black i guess , im happy with my black with white top , i do liek some of the extras the se comes with , short throw shifter , which i can buy on ebay anyways. it does look good though.

enjoy it , live it , love it.

Dude, you got more than me!

If only they made it in all white

 

And with a 5' bed...

 

I own a TRD as well. I love this FJ
