Looks like the production model gets the wide rear pillars....

Cruiserhead05 · 09-22-05, 02:55 PM

Cool, are those PA tags? I dont think the black steel wheel look that great.

Also, what happened with the BFG at's?
Give it about 3inches and some 33's...

robinhood4x4 · 09-22-05, 02:56 PM

I see rock sliders.

Trollhole · 09-22-05, 02:56 PM

No, those are Arizona plates (

here is one ), which makes sense, that scenery is either AZ, NM or CO...I think those black wheels look

but cool they are testing them. My guess is that is NOT the production model, it looks like those are probably both original prototypes which are getting some real-world use as test vehicles, to test drivetrain, etc, but my guess is that is not what it'll actually look like.

I agree those are AZ plates, but I think those are pre-production models, not likely to change much. Black steel wheels will be standard, for the base models anyway. There is a new press release from ~1 week ago, no new info, but they re-iterate that it will be a 2007 model launched early in 2006 (I think feb/mar 06). They have an interior for it now, no way they are going to make any major changes now, unless there are some significant problems.

beaufort-fj60 · 09-22-05, 04:02 PM

those steelies look exactly like the black one that came with my tundra (you can only see them if you take off the hub caps)

after looking at the yellow one, i think it looks more like this guy than a 40

Bryan062087 · 09-22-05, 05:46 PM

looks completely out of place in that environment

it would be at home on a shelf in toys r us.

MoJ · 09-22-05, 06:39 PM

Damn - really looks like they're keeping the slab pillar.

Zimm · 09-22-05, 06:51 PM

looks chunky. good competition for a liberty.

Dirk Diggler · 09-23-05, 12:09 AM

The roof rack looks terrible. Definitely needs OME and 33's and some other colors besides Smurf and Tonka.

msahr · 09-23-05, 09:50 AM

Yup. Arizona "MT" plates (Manufacturer)... the trails look like somewhere near Prescott, AZ.

Rock Sliders!

Too bad noone saw these being tested... Maybe 4wheel & off-road got invited? Like J**P did with the Liberty?

Pskhaat · 09-23-05, 10:29 AM

35s at least it needs and a good 4". Interesting the 17 black steel wheels are standard.

No no no. They're going for the cheap ricer look. You know, what ricers do when they want the blacked out look but are too cheap (or poor because they spent too much on the type R stickers) to actually buy real black wheels. Instead, they just take off the hub caps and think they're cool with a blacked out car.

sikocycles · 09-23-05, 04:46 PM

Don't a lift void the warranty. How would you get around that?

Poser · 09-23-05, 04:55 PM

wow....

nice turd.

No, just anything directly caused by the lift, as I understand, the auto manufacturer must bear the burden of proof that the modifiction caused the problem.

Granger · 09-23-05, 06:09 PM

So many people hate this truck, yet so many of them waste their time posting about it.

Yes, it's truly unfortunate that they as Toyota enthusiasts care where Toyota is taking their product.

Good Post!

That's NOT mustard. I wish it was. I have three new photos in my desktop background rotation, though.

Specs from the web site:

shocker · 09-24-05, 03:10 PM

I never thought I'd see a day where people were ragging on black steel wheels in an offroad forum.

firetruck41 · 09-24-05, 03:58 PM

Well, it's on the FJ Cruiser, so it must suck

Nah, I was just kiddin...I was more making fun of ricers than the FJ. I'm sure they just threw on some wheels laying around so they could do some testing. I'll be in the market for a new truck next year and the FJ is second in line behind the tacoma.
