    Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice and help I got from this forum. I have had many cars and been members of many forums and this one is the shit! Loved my taco but need and SUV. So I scooped a 2008 Team Trails Fj with 43k miles on it. It feels just like my taco, just has a cargo area. And no I wont be selling my wheels, haha. Thanks again.

    Heres the new Toy! Hope I like it as much as my Tacoma! No mods yet, but 5100's are in my near future.

    That site is super slow and freezes up. No traffic either but some bad ass builds. Your better off sticking around here with the other fj guys. Maybe we need an fjc section here so we could just crush fjcruiserforums to shit

    I would love to have the "TOYOTA" badging off the grill of the FJ on my Taco, I've seen that here before, looks great.

    Best of luck with the FJ, I remember when the Mustangs went retro and the FJ did as well - loved both.
