According to Toyota proper back seat entry requires a Warren wrench, vaseline, and three two by fours.
was that nice enough?

Re: FJ Auto Shows

hey TG,

check out this post:
My take on the FJC (very long)

this is Granger's take on seeing the truck up close and personal. there's also a good write up Air and Pancho (links above in Air's response!!). but this is my opportunity to kiss the moderator's behind

dont believe the hype, the backseats arent that small. but they can be a little difficult to get in and out - really not that bad though. however it is one of the things that will come up on the short list of FJ boo boos.

Wow, I just got a tooth ache. There's some serious sugar content in the new and improved Fj forum light. Not a bad thing just a little shocking and hard to get use to. Like when your girl friend shaves off her mustache every summer.

Back on topic The seats aren't bad it's just a little dark back their - So I've heard.

Re: FJ Auto Shows

i realise why we have the discrepancy over the back seats: some of us move the driver's seat all the way back (me) and some don't (those who think there is ample room in the back).

i purposely did this to see what the back would be like under the worst circumstances. and like that, there was NO room back there. so it depends on who is driving
