    LOL. The FJ has sensors along the back bumper that warn you when you're really close to something while backing up. It beeps faster and faster as you get closer to the object. This is in addition to the backup camera, a bit overkill but I can still appreciate it. The system can be turned off, Im guessing for wheeling.

    LOL. My FJ got excellent reviews when it came to "commercial crawling". The vehicle can make some mean rolling stops, can dominate speed bumps like no other, and, depending on the size, devours parking space blocks.

    Looks sexxy man. Livin it. I'm getting some HIDS and maybe tint this week. Hopefully some BFGs in about a month.

    Steve, I definitely suggest you get an FJ. Going back to stock would be no issue for you. Lol.

    A neighbor just bought a xterra. Not brand new. But a newer one. It looks sick. Ha a small lift and tires. I think I would rather get that. Maybe a 4runner.

    I thought about the xterra, but IMO it wasn't as great as the fj. They're pretty nice though. 4Runner was also an option. But a fully loaded 4Runner is 45k, way too much for what I need it. Plus it's too big. We test drove them and they ride super nice. They've Got a moonroof and a navi was available. It's an undeniably nice car. Just not what I was looking for. I like the older 4runners better (like the 200-2002).

    That's just it about the new 4Runners, Manny. It rides too much like a car. I thought about getting one a while back, test drove it, and thought, "Damn, this rides way too smooth and totally takes away from the 'truck' feel". Anyway, when do I get to see the new FJ?

    LOL, I guess so! Nah, I'm supposed to meet up with Manny for his CB/PA so I figured I'd see it in person then.

    Haha no Joseph Is correct in that statement. It rides super smooth, like a soccer mom car. This fj is way better IMO. I have zero regrets and doubts about my purchase.

    I might be going out to the Lake meet that's going on mid April so you'll get to see it then. Sorry I haven't hit you up about the CB. Still saving it for you but I've been working weekends so install is hard. I'm always up for doing it at night though. Your call Joseph. If not, I'll bring u the stuff at that
    meet

    yea I'm gonna be running 265/75/16s All Terrains. OMFG I can't wait to see how it comes out. It's gonna look sick. It's gonna make everyone cum when they look at it. :laugh:

    No worries man. I'm in no hurry and am barely driving the Taco at the moment. Let me know though if you want me to paypal/mail/whatever you the cash, or if you want to wait until mid May (I don't think there's a lake meet this month, but if you're having one with a secret group, let me know). I just have it sitting.

    Fuck no I'm not too good for you guys. I'm still going to all the meets. The socal tacoma group we have kicks ass. I was thinking about going to fiesta or the lake meet. Not sure which one.

    I'm over on the FJ forums and it's kinda slow and the group of people aren't as cool as here. I won't be going to any FJ meets or stuff, don't wanna catch the mod bug. Lol. I'm not really interested in heavy modification to my fj either so the forums aren't as appealing. I use it mainly for DIY write ups.
