Toyota makes such a top notch product that I cannot figure out for the life of me why they put such crappy tires and feeble horns on their vehicles!! Has anyone replaced their stock horn and if so could you reccomend a good quality-LOUD one? Are there any out there that a person could just plug...
You would think that with all the technological advances in automotive engineering, that auto manufactures would be able to come up with a solution for the Horrid ''Rock chips/cracks in windshield'' dilema!! With the near vertical glass on the FJ , I can see where this is going to be a problem...
I read somewhere that Toyota dealers were giving out a color matched scale model (either diecast metal or plastic) to all new FJ buyers as a promotional PR thing. For the life of me I can't remember where I read this on the web? Has anybody else heard anything on this and if not where could a...
No Great loss!! - we get the upgraded in-dash 6cd player and ceiling speakers but thankfully we don't get the ''Cheesey'' rear goofy looking subwoofer!!
Here is a pick of a Canuck FJ - minus subwoofer
Will be picking up my silver C-package FJ on Monday and plan on headin right down to the tire shop and sticking on some upgraded tires (Yokohama Geolander A/T) have had these tires on other 4x4's and were extremely rugged and long wearing! My question is?? - what would be the next size up I...
After talking with numerous people ( current buyers of FJ's) & salespeople they have all given their opinions as to what should be fixed or included in the next years production. These include -
1 - Passenger side armrest as standard on all models
2 - locking fuel door with inside release
3 -...
Will be picking up my silver C package FJ next week and am concerned about it's height. Can anybody tell me exactly how high it is from the ground to the top of the rack? My sales guy says he thinks it is 78'' but wasn't positive. I have an 82'' high garage door so hope it'll fit! Thanks for...
Was wondering why there is no mention of the NXT ceiling speakers on the Canadian FJ vehicles? I know the U.S. vehicles mention it in their promo option list but all ours say is upgrade sound system with 2 extra speakers (nothing about headliner speakers or as it's been dubbed by many sites as...
Was just wondering why there isn't a locking door over the gas cap. Most new Toyotas as well as other makes have inside release for gas cap. Just for security anyway?
What do you guys think of undercoating/sound deadener on new cars? I know Toyoya has excellent rust protection from factory on the undercarriage and frame , but don't know whether to get it undercoated with sound deadener once I pick it up. In the past on some of my vehiclles I have purchased...
Would appreciate your guys opinion as of color choices for the FJ - I have tentatively placed my order for a loaded ''SILVER'' C package and was told I could change my mind if another unit comes available before my delivery date (which is supposed to be in 2-4 weeks). I really like the silver...
Was given the keys by the sales manager early this morning for both a loaded yellow C package 6 spd and a silver B package auto. Both my wife and I took turns at the wheel and had big smiles on our faces as we watched people almost drive off the road trying to get a good look at this unusual...
Would anybody happen to know why Canadian FJ's get kinda crappy step/running boards and U.S. ones get decent rock sliders?? Toyota people here don't seem to have an answer.
Just had a crazy idea!!... consider ... this is coming from a baby boomer - ''ex -hippy, flower child of the sixties (can't believe I"ll be 55 in May) newspaper Graphic Artist - Toyota Fanatic-have had 11 so far! - crazy kinda guy!!'' ... I'd love to make up a poster collage (computer desktop...
Just got off the phone with a local tire shop and got a quote on more aggresive A/T tires -much better than the stock Bridgestone Duellers. If anyone is interested here is the quote - Bring the FJ in immediately (no more than 100km on them) - otherwise they won't give you new tire credit!. I...
Wow!! - the response from people out viewing the new Cruiser today at 2 dealer lots was overwhelming! Many Ooooh's & Aaaaaahs could be heard. Had originally placed my color choice as Black Cherry first but after sitting in the brifgt yellow unit at the car show I asked if I could change my...
