Background to getting the FJ: MORE PICS ADDED below
I had convertables all my life but when the FJ's came out I rethought my ideas of a car. The problem was that the Solstice (pic 1) came out at the same time and I kept with the fun car and stuck with the convertable. 6 months ago my wife and I had a baby girl (pic 2) and I fought off the idea of switching cars, the convertable just wasnt cutting it. Trying to put a baby, a dog and a stroller in the convertable started to look like the beverly hill billies in San Diego.

Purpose:
I was looking for a vehicle I could take my family out on day hikes to look at flowers, go hiking and see the more natural side of life, especially when my daughter gets to be 3-4.

Theme:
I was looking for a clean looking cruiser for the roads with the 4x4 ability to survive in the wild.

Trail team ride in Big Bear (2 pics)
Front bumper with rock guards (need to put electrical tape around my winch wires to blacken them out)
