    IMG_3723.jpg IMG_3727.jpg IMG_3724.jpg IMG_3726.jpg IMG_3731.jpg Driving down the highway something caught my eye! A 2012 FJ silver w/ a white cap and roof rack. I pulled into the dealership, looked it over, saw it had 67K one owner miles on it and.......I test drive it, and fell in love, now I own it!!! It rides like a dream, better than my 07 Prerunner. My Tacoma gave me 10 great years but I'm so happy I found my FJ I've been hunting for. :yes:

    Definitely! The invoice for the lift components was inside the owners manual. All total in 2012 money, this guy spent over $5K on just the lift and skid plates. Thank you random former FJ dude,

    It rained today and I turned on the wipers for the first time. :yes:
    I was looking out the windshield thinking, "wtf! There's 3 wipers?!?!:woot:
    3 times the wiping power! Haha!!!

    Does it tell you how many miles we're on the truck when the lift was installed? It will give you an estimate on when you'll need to have them rebuilt.

    On a semi related note, I have a readylift 3" leveling kit I'm not gonna use if anyone wants it. Throw some cash.

    No kidding! Sweet! I do wish they made a spare tire cover for. The 285/75's though. I got a friend down here who's in an Off Road group and he gonna take me along next time they go so I can christen her myself.
