--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just brought him home today. Had to get a few more options than maybe I needed but there were a lot of people wanting this one, we just lucked out and started the deal first.
Tons of interior room, feels really wide inside. Very solid vehicle to drive. Lots of the articles said it was "rough riding"..... Maybe if you drive a cadillac, otherwise its really smooth. A little wind noise from the roof rack but certainly nothing you cant live with. Getting lots of looks and thumbs up so far... Will keep people posted as I get to know it better.

Did you get that from Fairfield???

I was peeping it today, on my way home!

If so, I was the one who chatted with you and the wife as I was leaving...and you asked if that was my Taco parked just in front of the FJ.

I thought so! I remember your shirt, and you said you have an 87 4runner...

Can you tell me what options the FJ has on it? I wanna hear the breakdown of ALL the goodies.

After I left you, I went to Concord toyota, and then Walnut creek toyota. WC was really helpful, and has given me more info then any other dealer; in terms of options, and what is coming IN to them. They also had a Black FJ with TONS of crap on it, pre-sold of course...I am surprise it was up front and unlocked for idiots like me to drool over. I not only left some DNA on YOUR FJ, but the black one at Walnut Creek Toyota as well. I hope they detailed it before you took her home!

And another question....which will see dirt first, the FJ, or the 4runner????

Options:
Convience package: Keyless entry, cruise, remote outside mirrors w/image light, rear parking sonar, privacy glass, rear wiper, daytime running lights, roof rack, tow hitch w/wiring harness, spare tire cover, all weather floor and cargo mat, TRD Performance Exhaust, running boards, full airbags, front, side & curtain, Security system w/ proximity sensor. Full skid plates, front included.
Upgrade Package #2: A-trac, Rear differential lock, dash mounted multi info display w/exterior temp, compass and inclinometer, 17" alloy wheels, 2-1 audio 6 disc cd changer-400 watt with full range ceiling speaker and rear subwoofer, 400watt AC power inverter, Leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, color keyed interior door and dash inserts.
These are the listed options. The FJ was detailed beautifully and had a full tank of gas.. which I have already burned....see my new post and pics.
The 4runner has seen light dirt, still have a few engine quirks to work out before anything heavy. The FJ saw some pretty good dirt today.

Hope you are able to find your FJ with a stick soon.

:D

Put my deposit down today on a Silver FJ, stick...its located at the San Fransisco port right now....should be at the dealership in about 10-14 days....

Pretty much stripped down....Covienence package, Upgrade package #2, Running boards, curtain airbags, floor mats, roof rack, tow package, spare tire cover...couple more things I'm not sure.....

Not a big fan of the running boards and tow package, those will be first to go.

Still, its MSRP is below 30k.
