...you can only get the manual tranny in the 2wd version. Long story short, he said they had 4 FJCs arriving next week and I asked if any of them were going to be the 6-speed. He told me that they were impossible to find and Toyota only made like 3 of them and they were all base model 4x2s and in California. I thought this was pretty funny, because as far as I know, the Manual tranny comes with only the full-time 4x4. On a good note, they appeared to be selling at MSRP with no dealer premium or stupid add-ons like Lojack or fabric protectant.

Typical salesman
I drove a 6 speed in Salt Lake City. There I asked if it was the same FJ that I had looked at two days earlier, they said oh ya, same one, only one we have. However, the one I looked at two days before had the TRD Borla exhaust on it, and one other small change, the one I drove did not, it was a normal tail pipe sticking out. I'm thinking they lied and have some hidden away. And only break out one at a time. But 6 speeds do exist, in 4 wheel drive and are all over the country, not just three in Cali. Salesmen, I educated more people on the Land Cruisers and Toyotas in general at Toyota dealerships than I count. It doesn't take much research or time to find some good history on Toyotas.
On a side note, the Borla/TRD fancy exhaust kind of makes an FJ sound like and old 40, the good old put put pput ptt ptt put sound you know, especially on acceleration.
