I am in love with the FJ's they are absolutely amazing. I remember the first time I test drove one and I saw the rear diff lock button.... and the 3 windshield wipers are baller. The only thing I don't like about it is the spare tire on the hatch, other than that I'm 99% for the FJ. Excellent videos... its hard to realize almost all of those FJ's had stock suspension, some even were 100% stock doing all of that stuff. The biggest mods I could find were bumpers and tires...

Bumper and tires.. yep.

I agree on the spare tire. Its just that Iv'e seen a bunch of crash tests where it backs into poles and it automatically totals the back hatch/door. With mine, it just bends the bumper a little.

I call em lunch boxes....

But ive yet to actually put one to a real-life test. Such as cargo space usage, sleeping in it. Pulling something that it shouldn't be pulling.

I tested drive it love it. I really like the TRD edition ( black roof). The only ting I dont like is MPG and rear doors. Well I end up with $2000 Mitsu Montero.

yeah. 16/20 mpgs isnt too desirable. But I wonder how good it does pulling a load.

Hell yeah.

I took one for a drive about a year ago. And during the drive I kept noticing it was chirping around corners... like it was in 4x4. I kept telling the guy, but he was was saying it was supposed to do that.... I pulled it out of 4x4 and it drove like a..... something out of 4 wheel drive.
