I’m shopping around for a suspension mod to gain a lift, keeping in mind that I plan on running a winch bumper up front sometime soon. I want to avoid the pit fall of having to replace the front end suspension modifications because of too much front end sag caused by the weight of the bumper...

Mapleton, First off: I’m not the first and won’t be the last, but NICE RIG! Question: How much sag did the winch/bumper combo introduce to your Revtek Lifted FJ up front? This is it for me bumper wise. Still haven’t decided on a lift though. On a side note, I put a thread with this...

Hey JFonz, can you go a little into detail on options to cover up the winch mounting opening? Thanks. Awesome pictures by the way!

jfonz, will y'all be posting some pictures of the finished product, that is the bumper/center hoop combo/lights set up on an fj? Will that be mapletons set up? Most of us are waiting on some good pictures i think. Also I know how the camera can play some tricks with proportions. Can you...

Yes, the rear seats do fold flat, except at a slightly higher elevation than the cargo area. It doesnt bother me at all at least not yet. All you need to do is remove the head rests. Not bad at all, compared to my Grand Cherookee, you have to remove the entire rear seat cusions in order for...

If you want a really cheap one here in San Anotnio, talk to the manager at Red McCombs Toyota, he drives around in the dealership test car, the one you can test drive. I bet they would sell it cheap considering some woman ran into it while talking on her cell phone. I heard from one of the...

Lowest I see now at a dealership in San Antonio is $26,147 but I think the lowest i have ever seen, readily available, is for ~$25K here. I remember that one had steelies.

I put my order mid April and was told it would be between 2 and 3 months being realistic, if optimistic:6 weeks. I made the first call to them exactly 1 week after we sat down to configure the FJ specifically to check that they had made the order. I dont think they had but they did then...

Third Row Seats. I read on another forum that Little Passenger Seats, Inc., www.littleseats.com, is working on a third row of seating for the FJC. According to that post, these are removable, with retractable seatbelts, and fabric is matchable. Also, upon further inspection by the installer...

Congratulations! I can hardly wait to post a similar message on this thread. I ordered mine mid April also here in San Antonio. Hopefully this means mine is weeks away. Before you wear the tires down too much, quickly research the option of taking the tires in for a trade in.

The pics i posted are of models that you can order ... er ...from Japan.

models galore! neato!

I'll have to mention it to my dealer. Can you also select option packages? :) Or are the models also in "high" demand that I have to take whatever the dealer throws at me?

You are probably right ... and I sure do hope so! If I were to see some kid in a FJC (that looks like the one above) pull up next to me in my 2007 in a couple of years from now ... ouch! But that is the nature of things. In a couple of years, my fjc might be equiped with a Britax too! I'll...

Hey wantatlc, just had to say thanks for the great idea!
