Finally got my new FJ home this week.
I ordered it in september and it arrived on the 8th of december, meh thats cool the tsunami caused issues with supply so hey I'll just keep driving my 80. I finally get it on the 8th and I'm driving it home, doing 100kph on the highway when a big ol' bush turkey attempts to fly across the road in front of me but instead ends up taking out my windscreen and aerial. I pull over turn her off then hop out. I start spitting shards of glass out of my mouth and watching little drops of blood appear on my arms face and neck and think thank god I'm wearing sunglasses!
After I've calmed down a bit i call the dealership and they send out a tow-truck to collect me and my FJ. I leave my new car with them to get a new windscreen and get cleaned and head home (a rather long distance) and wait for my car to be fixed. The dealership rings and says it will be fixed in a week, then fixed by the the 28th and finally my car is trucked to my place on Wednesday.
So far I have driven a grand total of 180km in a month in it.
Plans are for an Xrox tube bullbar, 2" lift, better tires and some gear from springtailsolutions. It would be cool if anyone here could give me feedback on springtails products, I'm looking at getting a cargo barrier and the side rack kit.
