not an owner and thought this was a better place to inquire:
at first i thought it was just the driver, but i got cut off 2X by diff. FJ drivers in the span of 5 miles (1 on L-male and 1 on R-female)

i could see both drivers look around but they still changed lanes into me. no contact but they jumped when i honked!
also i couldnt see the rear blinker, but saw it was on once he was back in his lane.

is it the drivers(likely around here) or a visibility issue?

small complaint: i like to ride with the drivers seat as high as it will go(better visibility) however, the shoulder belt isn't mounted high enough to actually go over my shoulder.

It is the drivers.
They are not use to using mirrors, or they have them adjusted wrong.

They probably have them angled in so they can see the drop dead sexy gorgeous lines of the FJ in their mirrors.

This is wrong (not admiring the FJ mind you, but having them angled in too far) as the mirrors should be adjusted all the way out and you should only be able to see a trace of your sheet metal in the inner part of the mirror.

I have never had a problem not seeing out of the rig.

I will have a one year review coming up July 24th on my thoughts on the FJ.
Hard to believe it has been one year.
