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?

I don't know if I'd use >, but theres a real good chance that it will be a great truck. When I got my H3 I was coming from a 4Runner, which was a great truck for what it was.
My short list was the H3 and the FJ. The things that killed the FJ were:
Only 2 primary doors (no good for an adult w/kids)
and
Not Available yet...
You're young and don't have kids (AFAIK) so 2 doors won't be an issue, and you've got the time to wait, which I didn't.
My guess is that if you want one you better get in line soon, there may be a wait list.

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.

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. |

Don't want a Jeep. Jeepers are weird. Would rather keep the s10 then get a Jeep.

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 |

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.

The FJ was on my list too, but once I drove the H3, I didn't feel like waiting. I also didn't like the interior on the FJ compared to the H3. But I think it will be a nice little truck, and at around 25K its a decent price.
BTW, they show 5 colors on the Toyota website - titanium, black, black cherry (WTF, looks purple) yellow, and blue.

I plan on waiting until at least summer to avoid the rush and more importantly to wait for the special off-road edition. I've heard it will not only have BFG AT's, different colors, and different suspension but that it will have lower gearing, worth waiting for IMO. They haven't officially named it but rumor is it could be named the FJC "MOAB".
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">IL EXCLUSIVE: Special-Edition Toyota FJ Cruiser in the Works
Date posted: 12-14-2005
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Toyota is planning a mid-summer launch of a special-edition 2007 FJ Cruiser sport-utility vehicle that is beefed up with off-road performance features, Inside Line has learned.
"Look for things like shocks, tires, wheels, and off-road performance features," said Mark Amstock, Toyota's national truck and SUV market planning manager here at the launch of the FJ Cruiser on Tuesday.
Amstock said Toyota is working with tire manufacturer BFGoodrich on the yet unnamed special-edition FJ Cruiser. He added that Toyota designers are "pushing for traditional FJ colors, including tans and reds."
The Japanese automaker is also considering an FJ model without the signature white roof — a feature which will be standard at the SUV's launch — as well as a convertible version. "We're giving that a lot of thought," Amstock said in regard to a topless FJ Cruiser. "But nothing specific yet."
The FJ Cruiser, priced in the mid-$20Ks, is set to make its debut in late March. It competes against the Hummer H3, the Jeep Wrangler and the Nissan Xterra.
Amstock said Toyota will export a few of the FJ Cruisers to Canada and 183 to the Middle East. He said there are no plans for a right-hand-drive version of the vehicle or a diesel version.
What this means to you: Toyota aims to defy every inch of the Rubicon Trail with its special-edition FJ Cruiser. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have owned many yotas and have liked them all. The only problem I have with the new FJ is that it looks like an blown up version of the minicooper.
I think that the FJ would make one hell of a dive vehicle though.
