OK, guys, call me crazy, insane or crazily insane, but I traded today my yellow FJC for a radiant red Tacoma. As the FJ is selling like hot cakes, I did not take a hit (but I did not get the best deal possible for the Tacoma either) The FJ Cruiser looks great and for sure is a great vehicle, but it just never felt right. The Tacoma is a whole different story; daaaang am I excited about it... :jumping: Guess I see you one paragraph down, in the Tacoma section of this forum...

I must say that reading that was a little bit shocking!However, I can't argue with your second choice :ylsmoke: ... see you in the Taco room

Well, you were not the only one who was shocked by my decision. I think the problem was that the Taco actually was my first choice, but I let myself talk into the FJ...BajaTaco said:

... oh well, my wife still talks to me (IMPORTANT) and my boys are spending the night camping out in the bed of the Taco. :camping:

lower shock mount
I've read most of this thread, but can't remember if this was ever addressed.
What's up with the rear lower shock mount? I was dropping off my Tacoma for the 25k mile service today, and happened to have my camera with me. The dealership had 1 FJC on display, so of course I had to check it out up close!!

view from rear:
zoomed out view of rear:
This looks like it would hinder ground clearance, and possibly get hung up on stuff. Has anyone heard about anything like this, or experienced it yet?
I know this is already a really long thread, but why not make it longer... :ylsmoke:

Im my experience, that lower mount never was an issue. Remember, it moves w/ the tire.
I think the worst I ever got was a slight gash on the washer... it's the same issue as the 60 and 80 series. Not really an issue at all.
If the shock mount was further inboard, it would be a real problem but Toyota tucked it as close to the tire as possible so it's pretty good I think

Shock mounts
Steve Schafer has a real neat solution for those lower shock mounts.
By the way I saw a Blue FJ up close in a parking lot a week ago. They look sharp, real distinctive. :luxhello: I parked next to it so that I could take a look without looking like I was going to steal something! I was also in my Toyota dealership and my service rep told me they sold 4 and can't get any others for now.
Cheers :beer:,
