I should clarify that I'm open to offers! Everything has a price, and that price is what people are willing to pay. You won't offend me with an offer!

Bump for visibility. Please reach out if you have questions! I'm happy to help!

Here is the CARFAX report for those who are interested!

It’s a 2012 with the off-road package (rear locker). Roughly ~78k miles. Asking $37,500. Don’t miss this opportunity to own this trail-hungry 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser that’s been tastefully modified for overland adventures and off-grid getaways. This isn't your average grocery-getter—unless your...

I attribute it to growing pains and adoption theory. But if they want to be successful long term, they better start building out the service network. Most early adopters are willing to deal with the lack of service network for the short term, but once these vehicles start getting up there in...

For sure. It's really not that bad of a drive. I'm fortunate to have a 2-post lift in the garage so I'd imagine most mundane work I'll do myself. I was just hoping the local BMW dealership could at least help out when things got hairy.

Has anyone heard any updates on the service network? I contacted my local BMW dealership in Lafayette, Indiana and they told me they won't touch anything that doesn't have a BMW badge. I wonder if the BMW logo on the engine cover counts!

Would an Aussie dealer not ship to the US?

We had a plan from the get go. Two nights camping, then one night hotel. This morphed into every other night due to various reasons (mostly whether or not we were due for a hot shower and a dry bed). Camping was purely freestyle. We tried to call it quits around 5-6pm every day to have time...

Yeah that sounds confusing doesn't it. We were on the blue routes all they until we hit Green River, UT. We then did a mix of green and blue (mostly green) until we hit Nevada. There is a portion of the blue trail in Utah, near Emery, UT that was purely an ATV trail and was no business for...

Great write-up! Looks like an awesome adventure!

Thanks! I'm only making modifications that have a certain utility. I REALLY wanted a lift but after finding it wasn't necessary for the TAT, it's been put on the back burner. We did find that a rear bumper with gas/hilift carriers would have been a huge benefit, so a rear bumper got pushed to...

Thank you! We were on the blue routes all they way to Green River Utah, then went back to blue and ended up on a 4-wheeler trail. After that debacle we went back to green for the rest of Utah to avoid tiny trails. Nevada we did a combo of freestyle paved routes and GPSkevin's green routes (most...

Thank you! It was the icing on the cake :)
