Hmm... if Toyota intended for their to be a 3rd row back there, I think there would be one. I would be concerned if I got rearended with folks sitting that close to the back of the vehicle. Are there crumple zones back there that would compromise their safety? How well do they mount back...
Yeah... I really benefitted from the experience of High Desert Cruisers. I couldn't have, or wouldn't have, done it without their help. I'm looking forward to more outtings and adventures in the near future!!!

I got a chance to take my Cruiser offroad this weekend with the High Desert Cruisers. We went up to an area called Guaje Canyon near Los Alamos. I really had a good time and got a chance to see a little of what the FJ Cruiser can do. The guys from High Desert Cruisers helped me over a lot of...
There was only one time I guess I was a bit nervous. I had my sites pointed straight down the trail... yet I was "sidewinding" toward this rather large rock as if it had its own gravitational pull or something. I was getting a little ancy when I was about 5 feet or so from hitting it, but my...
I finally got offroad for the first time today. I really didn't know what I was doing, so I think I took it really easy. Oh my god... I had a blast. I even got a wheel off the ground once or twice. I'm sure I pushed the truck to no where near its limit, but it really brought a smile to my...
I haven't ordered mine yet... but I did get a flyer in the mail to send off for one. I'll let you know how long it takes once I finally remember to mail mine off.
So with a more aggressive tire tread like that, do you sacrifice a lot of on road performance? I understand they won't grip like a Z-rated performance tire, but I also don't think any of us drive our FJ like a Porche 911 either. I just wanna make sure I won't be putting my life ,or more...
Amazing news guys. I've been following this thread since the beginning. I guess I need to get myself a switch and see if I can get it to work. Great job and thanks for the info!!!
Thanks for getting back with me. Yeah... I had family in from New Orleans the last couple of weeks, so I couldn't make any meetings with you guys. I am certainly planning on attending the next meeting with you guys so that I can head out on the trails with you guys at the next outing.
I am...
Was going to take some pics today... but I couldn't find anyplace to get it dirty enough to take respectable pictures :-) I drove around for miles (mainly in the Socorro direction) looking for someplace to do some light wheeling. No luck!!! All this great land... and its all fenced off. Darn...
Awesome pics. Where along I40 did you find access to the railroad service roads? I'm new to Albuquerque and looking for someplace easy to start a bit of offroading. I drove around for miles today looking to dirty my car up enough to take some respectable pics.
Sorry guys and gals... was sick today. Was scared to venture too far from a bathroom... so I certainly wasn't going to drive my FJC... hehe. I'm going to go take some pics tomorrow. I will try to have them up tomorrow evening. I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to posting files, so I'm...
I'm not sure I'm ready for a club yet... I'm going to attempt to keep the car dent free for the first 1000 or so miles. If I show up to your meeting and see all the other trucks with all the nice customization, I'm gonna end up taking it straight to the garage to get mine done too.... and that...
Yeah... i've been lazy with the camera. I might take a ride up Sandia Peak and get some good shots in the mountaints on Friday. I need to get an alarm too... all the curious people are getting a little too close for my comfort. I guess I better get used to it!!!
Hi everyone.... I'm a new owner of a yellow FJC. All I can say is wow. While I don't know a lot about the heritage... I've always admired the toughness and uniqueness of the old FJ's. I live in Albuquerque, NM. When I bought mine last Friday, I got the 6th one that was delivered in this...
