So sorry about the FJ man. It puzzles me what would drive someone to go that far 
. I hope everything gets better for you.

FJ getting hit at movie "Cars"
There must be something about our FJ's getting hit at the Movie "Cars." Hubby and I took out '79 FJ40 to the movie and left the Mustangs at home, good thing. We came out from watching Cars and there is a Honda up against our car. Looked like they ran into us. But the person forgot to put the car in gear and/or put the E-brake on. Their car was sitting against out Passanger front tire. If we moved out FJ their car would have rolled again to hit a Lexus parked behind us. So we got the Manager and he got a rock to put under the tire of the honda. Pushed the car back into place and left a nice little note for them. As we were leaving the movies we saw mud tracks, followed them and found a great mud hole with a Jeep playing. So we had a good time and felt a lot better about getting hit by a Honda..

Whoever made the sierra club comment ...thats not fair...while I am NOT a member. A huge number of the members I know do know drive Toyota's off road just like all of us.....Every read the MONKEY WRENcH GANG...the book that spawned Earth First?" Hayduke drove a Jeep (heap) I think most here are against urban Sprawl and FOR protecting our off road areas.

Brought the car to the body repair shop today.. found some info regarding the windscreen on another forum... something to remember when you have a problem with you FJ's windscreen (hopefully not)
"...The top molding should not be removed before the windshield.
The windshield should be unglued/ vibrating paddle device, then when you get to the top, after ungluing the winshield from the top , just pull the entire windshield with top molding attached straight up, then remove the molding from the windshield once it is off the vehicle.
Also I was told by the shop that in removing the molding it will get slightly damaged. The shop should order the molding with the new windshield. Windshield cost $1150.00 the Molding cost $300.00. Plus four non-reusable clips about $30.00. ..."
expensive!

I call BS. Sierra club is the worst bunch ever... Those A-holes ruin the fun for people like us, 4x4 enthusiasts. I've back packed over 1.5k miles in my 26 years on this earth. Never once have I even considered supporting the sierra club.
Get real
Edward Abby=ELF= Sierra Club
Did you see if the cops could get prints off the rack? Or maybe they don't bother with property crime?
The sierra club is nothing like ELF. Regardless I love being in my new truck I think vandal A-holes exist everywhere.I once had punkers throw a30 lb boulder on the hood of my wives volvo and then trash a few more cars for fun...I wont ever join the Sierra club either...
Tapage

I might have the car back on Friday, if no delay with the windscreen.. total cost around $ 2500.. expensive movie! My insurance will pay the biggest part though.
Since the windscreens of the FJ crack easily (stones, debris, angle of windscreen) I'm looking into a protection "layer". anyone?

Check out this thread...it does talk about a protective coating for the windshield. Someone there might know of something you can do with the windscreen.
