UPDATED: New owner (Picture now!)

Hi all! What a great forum, full of great info! I've driven SUVs my whole life, and the one I had for the longest time was a 1992 FJ70 while I lived in South America. It looked a lot like this one:

(Can't post this pic as the forum won't let me post a link to an outide site until i've mad 4 posts, and this is my 1st!)

I had 4 dr Land Cruiser, which was stolen after 6 months. Whenthe insurance paid me, I had enough to by the 2 dr FJ... Inlation! I had it for7 years and loved it.

Ever since I saw the new FJ I've been captivated. For the past 3 years I've been driving a 2005 Nissan 350z, which is a fun car, but with no back seat and a 1 year old baby at home, I'm looking to go back to an SUV, and the FJ is at the top of my list......

I've negotiated a 2007 2WD, silver, with the CQAT Convenience package. MSRP is $25,647, and I've worked it down to $23,200.

I spent most of last night pulling my stereo, speakers, amp, sub, etc, out of my 350z so I can drop it into my FJ. Will be searching the forum for 'how-to' threads on taking apart the doors, dash, etc. If anybody has any links, would appreciate them!

Hope to have my FJ by saturday!!
