Hey guys, I switched too. I miss some things about the FJ, like that little compartment on the dash. The FJ is a real head turner too. But overall I am very happy. Haven't had a manual transmission in a truck for a while.

I miss that little compartment in the dash too. Unless you knew that it was there, it looked like maybe an air bag. Thanks for the link to your thread! Will check it out!

LOL! Just curious if he kept his FJ. I was so attached to mine that I did keep it but no longer use it as a daily driver.
