thanks for the update.

Seems the vehicles such as the 4runner and current Cruisers made in Japan are of slightly better grade anyways...so thats good news as far as I understand.

Very cool Build Your Own FJ Cruiser site! (Thanks, Dude!)
I didn't really like the vehicle at first, but it kind of grows on you...
Something to think about when my Sequoia needs to be turned out to pasture.
:D

I enjoyed that conversation around the campfire at Bahia De Los Angels - the idea of long throw racing shocks under the FJ

Hehehe! That was fun! I took my psychotic ramblings a little further last week, and crawled all over three FJ Crusiers at the Off-Road Impact show. I will have to post some pics. Scott and I talked to a very nice guy from Toyota and got some more details. I did in fact verify that there will be enough room in one of those for Sharon and I to sleep inside with the rear door closed. (Which means you and Kristina would fit too!) They had one of them propped up with a wheel removed to get a good look at the front suspension. This already has long travel made for it, as we speak (via the Tacoma and 4Runner) 13" if you want it! The rear would be fun too, since it is coil sprung, you could do some long links, beef up the axle housing, and do some sweet bypass shocks up through the wheel wells. :p With the short wheelbase, it might be a bit squirrely, but it sure would be fun.

Oh man I want one and I don't even know completely why :sport_box

Sleeping inside was one of the first marketing talk that was of interest to me.

Damn I will need a 4 stall garage now :sport_box

note to self: don't sell your Taco or FJ40 - you will miss it ;)

Hey, you are not alone. It seems a lot of people seem to impart that kind of puzzlement, myself included! I think it is just because it is something kind of off-the-wall and fun that lures us to it. :jumping:

Me too. Oh, by the way, another thing I was greatly concerned about was room for an auxiliary fuel tank. I verified (got pics) that there is a bunch of room right behind the rear axle spanning between the frame rails :cool:

I also have some pics from Off-Road Expo from a coworker, although I apologize for the poor quality. I'm going to definately consider this when its time to replace the Forester in a few years.

Next important question - What color to order - I would pick White - but did not see it on that cool build page - If not white I guess I would pick the titanium - ???? all the colors are somewhat interesting - maybe i should break out of the norm :sport_box

No white available, Dude.

I think the silver is a little bland, the yellow is too obnoxious, the blue isn't bad and I really like the black cherry.

Perhaps order the silver and turn it over to PaintDude for a custom white paint job? ;)

I'm in the minority, but I think you should sell your FJ40..........to me:jumping:

Hmmm not quite yet - I nee to dump another 8K into it before it is finally finished

The Black Cherry does look cool in a street pimp kinda way :Wow1:

I dunno - maybe I just give in and get Blue all the way :xxrotflma

I wish they had that hunter green color that they had at sema, that was by far my favorite. The blue's not bad, kinda like the grabber blue of the 60's, I'd probably go with the titanium, just cause it'd show scratches and dirt the least.

Can't wait til these start showing up in the dealerships, gotta feeling it'll be hard to choose between the FJ cruiser and the new LWB Jeep.
