There are a lot of guys on MM.NET who love that retro thing. I always liked the old Land Cruiser. This one looks cool.

Congrats!! I spotted two or three here around town and had no idea what it was until this morning saw one up close.

Its not my cup o' tea, but I'd take it over a poke in the eye witha sharp stick!!

The interior sure looks nicer than the original Land Cruiser!

Nice truck Joe even if it's not American. I kinda like the "retro" styling. Did you get rid of your other truck?

Those are bad as hell...I would love one with a manual. But then again I'd take almost anything with a manual.

I went with a good friend of mine to pick up his. I really like it but I am suprised you fit. I was not very comfortable in the passenger seat. Guess I will have to drive it to find out for sure ;)

Check out the FJ Cruiser Bulliten (http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/minisite/fjbulletin/index.html?s_van=GM_FJ_HOME_FJ _BULLETIN)...I watched everything about the car. Pretty cool but if I were off-roading like that I'd get a lift, period.

Nope, this is an additional vehicle... for now

I really love it, 4 things is going to be tough. I'm not crazy about the rear view blind spots but I've added 2" round mirrors on both outside mirrors. They could use a handle on the rear doors to use when closing them... I'm not really going to b i t c h about anything else. This is like a mini H1, and I've had 4 of those, I think Toyota beat Hummer at their own game with this one. I like the fact that this truck is not "over the top" with styling and options. It's utilitarian, but updated. Very functional, and easy to operate. It handles the road well, smooth quiet ride, very friendly on the paved roads.

MSRP was 30,500 and I got 500 off of that.
