First day with the FJC

Took delivery today in Houston, I live in Austin, 220 miles. Here are my thoughts sofar. Rear visibility is a small issue, if that spare tire were relocated??? Stereo is good for a factory setup but lacks midrange and base (nine speaker sys). Headlights seem very bright and well adjusted. I measured all four corners and found the drivers rear sits .5" low? I also measured ground clerance compared to the wifes 98 4runner limited and was disapointed to see I have less overall clearence, this will change VERY soon. I did note some body roll with quick lane changes on the highway. Seems too much for a vehicle so wide and low. Note to self, I did buy this vehicle for its all around capibility, small issue. Overall feeling is I like this vehicle alot. LET THE MOD'S BEGIN...
