Super duper for me. V-Power all in all cars all the time. I've found the marginal, at best, increase per tank is offset by increased mpg AND performance as noted by Toyota.

You a starving poet?
 
After base lining my hundy first upgrade was weather tech front second row and back.

Just recently I got a Viper remote start/alarm (must for the cold weather and train station duties) highly recommend the remote start :)

Then for iPod connectivity I got USA spec setup.

Probably go with a similar setup to what you are planning. More expedition than crawler. Can't decide ARB or slee for the front. Sliders will be Slee or Metal tech. OME or Radflos for suspension with diff drop etc etc....

I'm very happy with my switch to the 100 as it works better for 2 kids and grandparent visits.

Enjoy your new project!
 
not too bad no?

Nice get conrad!
 
How are you guys liking the switch?

I also just got rid of my fj because of a second kid.

Been looking at 100s and gx's.
Coming from the fj which had a pretty sporty feel to it, how are these?

Until I can decide, ill just dd my built 80:)

it's different. you have to drive one. I had an 09 fjc supercharged. it was nice, but no where near as comfortable as the 100. I also can fit a britax and a graco car seat next to each other and still have room in the second row for a person and able to pull forward the second row seat to access the third row.

That'd be nice! I loved driving the fj, but the room was killer and I travel a lot.
Problem for me is I've only seen 1 hundy and 1 gx for sale where I live in the past 4 months.
So I just read what you guys have to say!

Op congrats on the ride!
 
I did not have issue going from FJC to UZJ100....seems just as wide on trails...but loads more cargo space and room inside...that was what I wanted.
 
The FJC Looks great but _______....

You can write what you want on the blank

I loved mine

I love this 100 more

Can't wait for the new suspension to do its job

285's as well

I owned an 80 for a short time as well

If I could've afforded a 06-07 I would've loved one of those

Bulletproof.

Can't wait
 
I switched to accommodate the addition of two little ones as well. I have no regrets making the switch.

The FJC was cool, but the build quality was not "Toyota Quality" that I was used to. Personally, i don't miss the plastic interior that scratched very easily, the seat fabric "pilled" like a cheap sweater, and the inner fender structure that crumpled after hitting a pot hole.

The build quality of the 100 is far superior and is what I call "Toyota Quality".
