Would you recommend buying the Toyota FJ Cruiser?
Mar 13, 2008 by American_Nawaab_786 | Posted in Toyota
I am interested in the Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD. I have read the reviews by the pundits but do not give them too much thought. I want the opinion of an owner/operator. Please give me your personal review of what you like or dislike. Also, do you recommend buy it.
I had one for a few weeks for a rental while I was in co.
I liked it alot, I was going to buy one, but I needed an open bed truck and the fj isnt an open bed truck. It felt like you were driving a truck, the 4x4 works great on and off road(co. bored 4x4 rental it was fun). My only complaint was that it had alot of blind spots and that made it hard to drive through denver's rush hour traffic, but other than that it was great. Its a Toyota so its going to last long and be reliable.
For a rental I loved it, but gas is so high now,
to me it would be more of a fun to have toy vehicle, not an everyday work vehicle.(well for a young teen-mid 30s it would fun vehicle to have), my son came with me to co for a 2 weeks and we both had no trouble seeing over the dash;but were both 6foot+ tall. Idont know how old or tall you areso, I cant say if its the vehicle to buy,It reminds me of the old blazers,and jeeps, just newer and 2000 tec.
at the same time your getting a truck so Its not going to have
all the high tec gadgats like a new car does.
If you want to stay with toyotas,
look at the highlanders, or 4runners
but if yo want a 2 door suv/truck
look at jeep. The compass and wrangler are good vehicles to
hope I was able to help

How will the ride be if I install a lift kit on my Toyota FJ Cruiser?

Does anyone know how the ride will be if I install this lift kit: http://www.amazon.com/Skyjacker-Performance-Strut-Toyota-Cruiser/dp/B000LO6SRY/ref=sr_1_1/102-2623983-6455344?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1189791763&sr=1-1
On stock suspension it rides quite smoothly. Any coherent opinions are appreciated.
There are many different kits to use on the FJ. OME kits have a good ride and great handleing performance. Check out different toyota forums to see what others are using. OME seem to be the most popular. Many dont see any decrease in ride or stablility.

My friend has a Toyota FJ Cruiser and is having a XM/AM Button Problem?
Oct 22, 2008 by perfectglitch | Posted in Toyota
My friend has a 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER and she recently signed up for XM. However now the XM/AM button, when you push it, it only selects AM. It never turns over to XM.
