New garage mate for my FJ

The wife decided she wanted luxury and traded her 2002 SR5 Sequoia for a 2006 Limited 4wd Sequoia. I know gas mileage will be a little worse but she will drive it like a granny and hopefully stay in the 14MPG range. She was sold on the leather and split 2nd row and moonroof and DVD headrests for the kids. The kids are so quiet now with the wireless headphones on.

I like the 18 inch wheels. Might look good on my FJ someday. Not sure if they would clear the front calipers though. I put a new Optima in it the next day because the battery had corrosion all over.(Supposed to be a certified used Toyota.)

It has the Blizzard Pearl paint and sparkles like it has ice on it.



Beauty and the beast. I'd say the FJ is the beauty.

Re: New garage mate for my FJ

I already bought an Optima battery, cheesy Toyota skid plate and a serp. belt, Mobil 1 synthetic for the engine and rear diff. The wife is giving me crud about spending money on it. I'm just trying to get the rig up to my high standards and that costs a little bit of dough.

Re: New garage mate for my FJ

paint the roof black on the sequoia, and the ying yang will definitely be fulfilled.

Exactly what I was thinking too! The FJ is so aggressive looking while the Sequoia is all demure with wood trim, consoles, etc.

Re: New garage mate for my FJ

Keep the garage door closed long enough and you may end up with a radical new crossbreed. a FJeqoia!
Seriously, sweet trucks!
