Shaggy,
I actually think it looks pretty cool. With the locking diff you'll be light years beyond the S10.

I can't tell from the pics, but the tires look like street tires. You gonna swap them out?

BTW...why are you being nice? You are scaring me.

John Elway Toyota claims they are selling at MSRP. Will probably put a deposit down on one tomorrow. Might have one by Moab.

The early photo shoots all showed it with the Bridgestone AT's but at all the recent offroad events it has had the BFG AT's. I think the BFG's will be an option, or part of an offroad package.

It's such a chick/ghey guy rig.
Shaggy, have you actually seen one in person? I wasn't very impressed with it. No protection for off-road wheeling... but it'll be great for pavement.

The FJ was in Walden Colorado up by Rocky Mt. NP last Saturday. If you want to see it in action it will be at Cruise Moab in May and at the Colorado Toy Rally in August.

When seeing it in person it was a lot bigger than I thought it was and as for off-road protection it's got rock rails, skid plates and more ground clearance than an H3.

I saw an H3 in the parking lot yesterday and no offense but those rear shock mounts have got to be one of the worst designs I have seen on an off-road rig, it looks like they hang almost lower than the pumpkin. Do any of you guys ever have problems getting them hung up on rocks?

Never, but I agree. I noticed just yesterday how low they look. Time will tell. My neighbor came home in a yellow FJ last week. Kinda cool looking but the H3 looks better

Anything is possible in Cali shagback.

I like this truck. For the money, I think it could be a lot of fun. I've always been a Yota fan though.

Its got a strong engine and good DNA to start with. With a lift and some tires, I think you could take it quite a few places and still have under 25K invested.

Buy Now!

The BFG AT's will be an option. They will be 265/75/R16's on 16" TRD wheels for $1899. The standard tire will be Bridgestone H/T's on 17" alloys or black steel wheels.
