Old FJ Cruiser (1999)

barralf · 03-05-2008, 12:49 PM

Finally I could get some of my pictures and I wanted to share them.

I am from Venezuela (moved to Houston TX 2 years ago) and have been a FJ lover all my life.

I don’t know why America had a gap on the FJ Cruiser production that we did not have in Venezuela. So I was able to get a brand new FJ Cruiser in 1999. We still produce the same model plus the actual FJ Cruiser. I hope you enjoy them.

These pictures were taken on one of the most beautiful places in Venezuela: Canaima National Park: Gran Sabana Area

A original FJ Cruiser was in front of me through this trail.

Thanks

Your in Houston? Any chance you still own the 1999 cruiser?

Either way be sure to make your self known:

Unfortunately I sold it before I moved to Houston. I was thinking to bring it. But, because that model never existed in America I was afraid to have problems in the future with parts. Also is not a Fuel efficient SUV. In Venezuela is not a big deal because the gas is really cheap: 0.12 $/Gal, yes it is true, 12 cents per gallon.

So, with my heart broke I decided to sell it.

and yes, I am in Houton and I own a 2007 FJ Cruiser now
