Background to getting the FJ: MORE PICS ADDED below
I had convertables all my life but when the FJ's came out I rethought my ideas of a car. The problem was that the Solstice (pic 1) came out at the same time and I kept with the fun car and stuck with the convertable. 6 months ago my wife and I had a baby girl (pic 2) and I fought off the idea of switching cars, the convertable just wasnt cutting it. Trying to put a baby, a dog and a stroller in the convertable started to look like the beverly hill billies in San Diego.

Purpose:
I was looking for a vehicle I could take my family out on day hikes to look at flowers, go hiking and see the more natural side of life, especially when my daughter gets to be 3-4.

Theme:
I was looking for a clean looking cruiser for the roads with the 4x4 ability to survive in the wild.

Standard Outside Mods:
Lucrum winch mount
Warn 8000 with controls under the front bumper.
Black out - Bezel, mirrors, Bumper, Tundra door handle switch
Removed Emblems

Rock guards on front headlights
