My new whipsicle

[Redlyne_mr2]

So yesterday I finally caved in and bought my first brand new vehicle, I was sick of working on cars all the time. Fixing this and that, my mr2 is the only project I want. I chose this because I need a tow vehicle and I've always loved these trucks. It's a 2008, offroad package in Iceberg, new color for 08! Such a fun toy

Nice new car man!
I've always wondered, what kind of motor is in this car? How much power does it have? 4WD I assume? Looks like an awesome car to own!

[Kloubek]

Because of the manditory white roof, I think white is the best colour for this truck.

The FJ is very well rated, and in my opinion it's a very decent price for what you get.

Nice job!

Such a nice car. Congrats.:bigpimp: :thumbsup:

[RZRSHARP_SVX]

those FJ do have some good kick. those 6-cylinders do go along pretty good. now all you need is the 6 inch lift and off-road tire and it would look pimpin.

if you need an good example look at the one in front of Canyon Creek Toyota

[schocker]

looks good man:thumbsup:
i have always liked the fjs

[That.Guy.S30]

hah.. quit biting my style bro.. first the 86 and now the cruiser. j/k

[mikemechanic]

Looks good, something I won't have to work on :)

Your hurtful comments about the Rav4 is what motivated me to buy this. :D

[CivicDXR]

Nice purchase. Toyota truck crew FTW!

I agree, that motor is peppy... i know this first hand.. ;)

[turbo'dGSR]

Cool...now put some mud terrains on it!

[Jlude]

Nice ride... would love to take that thing camping or to the beach... it's so versatile.

[avow]

very very very jealous. i have wanted one so bad sense they first came out (the new one that is, i wasn't on the earth when the old one roamed). you will have to take me for a spin in it some time ryan :)

[Phuqu]

It doesn't have a 12" glass shifter???

[Kona9]

Nice purchase! It was between the FJ and the X-Terra Offroad for me. I feel I made a good choice, although it was crap service for the 3rd time that pushed me to go with Nissan.

However, Great truck Ryan! Perhaps we get a Beyond Offroad session together sometime this year.

Good luck with it!!

[funkedelic]

daaaamn ! I love the FJ's! I would love to have something like that as a daily! Congrats!!

Looks great in white!

[TorqueDog]

And now the pressing question... are you actually going to take it off-road, as it was intended?

Absolutely, as Kona said I think we need to arrange a Beyond offroad cruise.

[Eleanor]

One of the few SUVs I would consider buying, great choice!

Oh, and as other people were saying: Lift it!

[syeve]

Pimpin ride dude. Congrats!!

damn, I guess I'll stay on the road and watch you guys from there... my stock RE050A's have no place in the dirt...

I drive a truck, but not... :poosie:

[cynik]

A more pressing question .. are those last years Seths strapped to the roof?

[Redlyne_mr2]

Theyre actually Line Prophets, pretty good eye though. I have a thule rack up there.

[finboy]

congrats ryan, be careful with that windshield ;)

[1-Bar]

looks good man, you can park your MR2 under if it ever snows in the summer :thumbsup:

[HRD2PLZ]

Nice ride, I have seen a few of the new white FJ's kicking around Arizona. I think they look great!

[mo_money2supe]

What's with you and white SUVs? Anyway, congrats on the truck; definitely a big change from an older Pathfinder or your huge Pacifica!

:werd: I would be in too

[Zephyr]

sweet new ride!

[88CRX]

That thing is tight!!! I want an SUV for winter/daily :(

[tom_9109]

Were they fresh out of nice SUV's???







Haha, just kidding, looks great.

[a social dsease]

everything about those styling wise just makes me want to vomit uncontrollably, however I can see that it would be a fairly useful vehicle for outdoor excursions. enjoy

[SNAATCH]

There's no way i'm the only one who doesn't like the styling of that SUV. I'm sure its nice to have a brand new vehicle and not have to worry about fixing problems but that would never be my choice.

[Redlyne_mr2]

It's funny you either love or hate the styling, I can understand why people would think it's ulgy, it's not for everyone. I've always wanted an old fj40 but they are by no means comfortable or enjoyable to drive daily. This was a great compromise, I like how it looks like a toy.

[Fcuk]

lol good stuff ryan, now we both have a mr2 & FJ cruiser.

Congrats.

[SCHIDER23]

Nice SUV, in black it looks deadly :drool:

[JRSC00LUDE]

Well done, I'm a big fan of those things. :thumbsup:

[dino_martini]

Congrats man. I really want an FJ, ever since it came out. When I saw what they FJ Cruiser can do offroad at the Calgary Autoshow last year I was sold. I suppose your already on www.fjcruiserforums.com ?

[86max]

As soon as you get rock chips on the windshield, make sure you get them repaired. It's a bitch to see out that little windshield with cracks all over it.

Anyways props on the new whip, they're fun little trucks:thumbsup:
