    Is anyone traveling from the Raleigh area to the Asheville area this weekend? I'm in the process of trying to pick up a front bumper.

    If you already have a Tacoma, FJ is a nice companion

    Told my gf if we get married she's driving an FJ! Haha More or less just so I can drive it every once in a while.

    Had to drive my mom's FJ for about a month in October 2011. Very fast vehicle for being so un-aerodynamic! Drove it to prom too... raced my friend in his 5.7 Hemi Dodge Ram 1500 and whooped him easy at 110 mph... :D

    But my truck handled much better than my FJ did in the curvy sections because of the longer wheel base and lower center of gravity. If I try to take the same turn at the same speed in the FJ it feels like my bumper could be scraping the ground lol sway bars were off on both rigs.

    no and yes. It drives most like the taco than anything els I have drove. drives a lot like the 4 runner as well. the ride is a little smoother since it dose not have leave springs in the back.
