New 2013 FJ Cruiser owner from Calama - CHILE

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and also a new fj cruiser owner. My new ride gets here in a couple of weeks, I buy this new ride cause I totaled my old one while fly fishing for trout near my work city 2 weeks ago (yes I have insurance):



It was a Dahiatsu Terios AWD, a toy 4x4. Despite that he rides me to beautiful places in Chile and Argentina to fly fish for trout and camp, you can see some pictures in my blog (click on my signature).

So I pull the plunge and after reviewing a lot of info on-line and mix it up with my own taste (I really like the looks of the new FJ, my dad used to have the FJ40 in the 80's), so I ended up buying the MT version that come stock with the addition of a warn winch in it.

I plan on doing some sound uplifting, roof rack, lights, bumpers and maybe a 2.5" lift using an EMU kit if it feels necessary on my lurking around for fly fishing places.

Have fun :-)

Hello and welcome! Shame about the old ride, but it allows for the new FJ. Post some pictures of your catches and the FJ.

Welcome, congrats on the FJ. Too bad it has to come after a loss of another daily driver, but life can be that way sometimes.
