    Hey there!

    A little out of place here, but I am the proud owner of a 2010 FJ Cruiser (4X4, Iceberg, 42k miles).

    The boyfriend (@ChamYota, who owns the Apocalypsemobile that is lurking in the background of the attached picture), introduced me to off-roading and I fell in love, particularly with these quirky SUVs. After a few months of trying to convince myself not to, I finally found a great deal up in Raleigh, so we made the trek up to NC and traded in my Honda.

    The previous owner(s) (there were two, but Carfax shows the second owner only had it for a few months) seemingly put some effort into modifying it (aftermarket All Pro bumpers, a front skid plate, and a few lights added and changed), but for the most part the mileage and body show no signs of intense off-roading. That won't be the case for long, though. :D

    Anyways, I mostly just made an account so that I can stop being "Cam's girlfriend" and relying on him to find deals for me and start searching for them myself. :rofl:

    Diane

    Welcome to TW! Nice ride, I most bought one, but I needed a truck for work. You shouldn't have any trouble finding deals here. There's a group buy for just about everything. Holding on to your money, now that's a different story.
