Time to stop lurking!!!

Graduating in december ( a little later in life than most) Got a good job in Houston and once a little debt is paid off i have my eye on an FJ. Thinking of going with a base model 6speed MT and adding the Atrac after the fact and using the thousands saved on upgrade packages to get as much fun stuff as possible.

Re: Time to stop lurking!!!

Sounds like a great plan. However, if what I read is correct the A-Trac is now standard on the '08's if you have the rear locker.

Welcome aboard to the forum!

Re: Time to stop lurking!!!

I hope what you hear is right. I have only seen that the locking diff is standard on the MT nothing about the Atrac being standard.

Re: Time to stop lurking!!!

Yes. Its the old union tank car / kcs railroad dome on up on brooklawn dr.
Really cool structure, but in horribly bad disrepair, so it needs to come down for safety's sake. My crew will be starting on tuesday with our ultra high reach demolition machine. Will be a cool job since blgd is about 125' tall!
