Just saw an FJ Cruiser!
 

Today on my way home I was riding through town and I spotted a guy in the FJ Cruiser across the tracks at an auto parts store. This is the 1st time I have seen one in person and I must say it looks way better than I thought. Almost like 4runner but a little more retro. By the time I made a u-turn the guy was pulling out of the lot. I'm thinking about making the FJ my 1st new car purchase. Anybody else see these beast driving around your town?

Not yet.

I say we make this the official "I just saw a new FJ!" thread.

I'm all for that. Now all I need is a "Donate to this poor man who needs an FJ Cruiser" thread.

I have not seen one driving around yet...but I'm looking :shocked:

I can't wait to see one in person. I really like it! Do you think a stranger would take me for a ride around the block? :P

I saw one tonight in work in NYC, along with a Maybach 62 (I see every night), Lotus, and a Bently.

Who will be the first on YT with one? :think:

Haven't seen one here, but my wife noticed that dealers are starting to list them on autotrader already. Do you think they are listing them while they are still on the boat?

Block. I just thought of a name for it: Block crawler....as in rock crawler

My local Toyota dealer has my tele # to call me when they come in.
I talked to a salesman/rep yesterday who said they were getting ready to hit a meeting to learn all about them like option, $$$, and other needed info.

BT17R :D

Who will be the first person here to post a pic of a sighting??

:cam:

I was going to say keep your cameras ready. Wish I had mine yesterday. I nearly jumped the railroad tracks to get a better look.

The Toyota distribution plant is about 12 mins from my house, maybe that's where it came from.

Haven't seen one yet, but I'm looking hard.

Saw one on sunday, it was blue, headed North on I-5 through Tacoma/Seattle, it looked like it had dealer/manufacturer plates

Well, just got off the tele with my sister, and she knows a little about them.
I must admit, I have been way to busy to follow any of the FJ threads here.

She heard they will be cheaper than a Taco or a new 4Runner, perhaps around $22K, and she thinks I should dump the troubled rig.

If so, I think I may be putting a down payment on one.
I have $20K into my 4Runner now, and the engine is shot.
I have already been told it will cost between $4K and $6K to slip a new on there, and also there is more that needs to be done to the rig, at least $2K or more.

If I can get into an FJ fairly cheap, I may go for it.
I do not even know if they have a rear locker or not.
Just been to busy to even read up on them.

Guess I will go down to my local dealer when a batch arrives.

Yeah if you can find one. 22k maybe a little wishful thinking :( . It can't be cheaper than the new Rav4 v6, which is around 23-24k.

yup your not going to find one less then $28k, at least for the first year

I saw a blue one on highway 78 coming back from Anza Borrego on presidents day weekend, but unfortunately I didnt have my camera ready.

Well, Toyota is on my crap list :soap:
They are not making a white one.

I only buy white Toyotas.
I like white.
Easiest color to take care of, and looks like a million bucks when waxed up.

The search goes on for a rig...
