Fj-Ollie First Post
Just joined the forum today. I'm out in SoCal and have a Titanium '07 FJC, AT5, fully loaded sans roof rack.. The best vehicle purchase I've ever made. I look for reasons to drive it (on-road or off-road doesn't matter). Can't believe its capailities right off the showroom floor. Mine has the ATRAC Hack, 285/70/17 Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 Tires, and Cobra WX ST CB. There's much more to come though. I only have 4200 miles on it. I can't wait to chat with you all in the future. Until then....

I see a few FJCs on the road down here but never get a return wave when I see them. I thought they were a bunch of soccer moms driving FJCs that will never realize the capability of there vehicle. I've been wrong once or twice today already though: )

Welcome.
I gave up on waving. It seems that most in town here are soccer moms. They look at me weird when I wave, so I don't anymore. I will only wave if the vehicle looks obviously modified. Or they wave first.

Welcome! Keep waving! I have decided just to keep waving and waving until the person waves back or thinks I am a crazy person!!! My FJ isn't modified yet. Can you believe it.... my husband is the hold up on that! I really bought it for him for his birthday, but I have many many plans for it! hehehehe The front bumper and the tires MUST GO SOON!

Hello and Welcome Ollie,
I have been reading threads for several weeks now and this is my first reply. My new FJ is on order and should arrive first week of December. Pretty much fully loaded at $500 over invoice (about $28,500 plus tax). Got lucky since all other Toy dealers in the area laughed at that one. Most would settle on $500 under msrp. Boy do I have some ideas on mods too but I should be careful as it is going to be my DD and it needs to fit in my garage. In any event, welcome and hello to all.
