Intro- Just made a deal on FJC TRD

[Blueskies]

Hello all-

I've been lurking here, reading the forums for about a couple of months. Finally pulled the trigger yesterday on a TRD SE with roof rack and towing pkg. The SE is being shipped from port on the 11th, should arrive at the dealer around the 23rd. Can't wait for it to show up... my Jeep Rubicon is getting smaller every day with my two kids and dog along for the ride.

Looking forward to being part of the Forums-

Hi guys, first time poster....

I too will be making the jump soon.

Blueskies - mind if I ask what it cost out the door? Currently trying to decide between the TRD and a black model that I will do an after-market roof color change on (wifes not a big fan of the two tone).

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

I paid $31,417.00 + $124.53 doc fee + $1,892.49 tax (6%)

Total: $33,442.02 for TRD SE with everything but front skid plate.

This equates to $750 under MSRP ($32,167.00)

Not the best deal I've seen on the net, but not too shabby for where I live.

Thanks for the quick response.

THis forum has become an enabler to me as I think I am addicted to all things FJ...

How is the ride? Is the interior noise the same as stock?

Finally picked up my rig, can't wait to get it on a gnarly trail.

I only test drove the regular FJ for a couple of miles, so it's tough for me to compare the ride in the TRD... It seems like the suspension may be a bit stiffer, but not much. The interior noise doesn't seem any different to me, with the exception being able to hear more of the sound of the exaust. It sounds cool, but it might wear on my on a long road trip. All in all, competely happy with it thus far.
