Just bought a 2007 4x4 6 speed manual with 67,000 miles from Texas but its life started on the East Coast. Paid top dollar $17.500.00 from the dealer did all research Carfax and Skyped with dealer I was concerned about FJ rust issues. Well the sales man had great video skills plus a fresh undercoat on car. Car was shipped fast all paper worked signed and its MINE. Well good news gas tanks has been replaced bad news 3 rust holes in frame and it looks like when suspension gets replaced a rust nightmare. Other than the Chassis the car is perfect.
Went to Toyota Dealer on Riverdale Road in Ogden Utah. Basically Toyota will not stand behind vehicle and will replace frame and standard parts they are familiar with on Tacoma recall. $15,000.00. I had to pay them $150.00 for the bad news.
Anyways I am looking for a local shop in the Northern Utah area that would be interested in fixing my rust bucket or advice. I am a New to FJ's thought I would never own one but when it came to looking for a new family car we loved how the FJ drove and looked. 6 speed manual hard to find any car in a manual...
Please help stressed out new FJ owner.
