New FJ Pics

OK, I know these are sort of old news, what with actual FJ's hitting the road and all, but I thought I'd post a few pictures of the FJ. These get pretty close to the actual color of the Voodoo Blue (to my eye and on my monitor--your results may vary).

Pictures in my gallery.

Re: New FJ Pics

Molechaser,

That's my truck minus the running boards. It doesn't have the roof rack, which I want, but good shots of one without so I know how it looks.

Re: New FJ Pics

Chicago area--so probably not yours, oldawg, unless the allocations REALLY got screwed up.

This is an A/T with CQ and UR. Current extras are floor mats (OK, but definitely nothing special) and running boards. The dealer didn't get some of the other extras that I (or the wife) wanted, so I'm taking it back next week to get XM satellite radio, armrest, rear door storage, and spare tire cover installed.

I'm glad I didn't get the roof rack. I think it would have fit in my garage at home, but it wouldn't fit into the parking garage at work. This isn't really a daily driver, but I may use it to commute at least occasionally. The parking garage I park in downtown Chicago has a clearance of 6'4", about 3 inches too short for the roof rack.

I'm happy to take any other pictures that people want to see--just let me know.

With all the confusion it probubaly is...LOL That would have been rather unpleasent to roll into the parking garage and leave the rack behind

No. I initially asked for an AT, and that's what the dealer got. I flirted with changing to an MT, because the AWD would be better in Chicago inclement weather (of course, the AT is better in Chicago traffic, so there's a little trade-off there). But I could get the AT now, and the MT would be wait of at least a couple months, and my wife preferred the AT. So that's what I got.

Ouch. Mine was sitting right out by the street when I went to pick it up, and the general manager said he was hoping that I wouldn't show up on Saturday, so they could "borrow" it to bring traffic in to the dealership all day.

I have to say, this vehicle really draws a crowd. Every time I've parked it somewhere, people walk over and check it out. At the dealer, just about every family who came in stopped and had a look (we could watch the truck out the window while we were filling out paperwork). The looks you get on the road are just unreal--one guy in a brand-new Lincoln pickup truck almost wrecked it trying to get a look at me as he drove by.

Good luck getting yours soon! I'm sure you'll love it.
