Toyota FJ at dealers

Hadn't looked at any pix of this yet, but now I went and found
some. Weird-lookin' beast. Kind of a cross between a cherokee
and an H3.

FJ is the code name for Land Cruiser.

And from what I understand, they are trying to make a retro FJ40 (Land Cruiser of the 50s).

 

They're invisible. The two transducers are mounted above the headliner and use the headliner as a diaphragm. I haven't heard one yet, my Voodoo Blue 6M/T is due in late this week or early next. All FJ's come standard with the system.

I'll be exporting mine to Canada after a little play time, saving someone thousands and making a little in the process. Toyota charges $3,850 more for equivalent FJ's in Canada.


I've driven one and think they're so ugly they're cute, like a Bulldog. Very capable, versatile truck. It's built on a modified Prado/GX/4Runner frame. It's the only Toyota/Lexus available with an M/T, center locking Torsen and RR locker. It ran the Rubicon stock. Should more than meet my mild 4WD needs.

 

I saw one today as well, blue one although not sure of the package. Pretty cool looking trucks.

 

WOW, they didn't stray far from the concept designs did they..

 

I saw one parked on Myrtle in downtown Monrovia earlier today. Silver one, if I remember correctly.

 

Saw a black one at the dealership. I really like everything about it except for those taillights... they protrude outwards way too much.

 

There's a Yellow one here on the shore with the Convenience package and Upgrade package #2 for $31k and I have to say that I'm in love.

Wait a minute, I thought you were already married??

Just kidding big guy

Swung by my local Toyota dealer and they had a yellow one and a blue one. Not my cup of tea though.

 

Last week they put a blue one out at the local dealer in Silver City (town of 10,000). Not my cup of tea either Jayman.

 

I was excited to see one when I took my Prius in for its first oil change, but very disappointed in the truck after taking a closer look. I hate the extensive use of silver/grey plastic on the dash; it looks like a Wal-Mart Stereo. And the Toyota designers have finally made a vehicle with worse visibility than the Prius; that pillar behind the B pillar (C Pillar?) is about a foot wide, and the spare tire takes up a third of the rear window. I didn't notice if there was a rear view camera or not, as I had to get out of the uncomfortable seats.

I like the Nissan Xterra better, but that's just based on interior styling. The FJ is good looking on the outside.

 

I've been seeing a lot of the FJ Cruisers around town this last week, nearly 1 a day. One blue and one yellow, and a bunch (4 or 5) of the silver ones. Kinda neat-looking, they look like supersized Tonka toys.
