Man sorry guys the camera was back at the shop. Just happened to be in the area where they unload the Toyotas off the boats. I watched as two new colors came off. They were not putting them in their over load lot near the public (where I got the good photos last year when they first arrived in the US as see on Ih8mud) so I was a good ¼ mile away looking down hill. BUT I defiantly saw two new colors:

Brick Red (dark but not like the black cherries)
Sand beige!

No sun roofs that I could see.

Can you say Telephoto lens…….. Sun rise is at what time? Photos to come.


UPDATE! PHOTOS!

UPDATE:






Here is the view from yesterday. (I saw a ship there but maybe it was not unloading?)


Sign welcoming anyone that wants to walk close to the yards. All photos actually were taken from public property, I never crossed any of the “secure” areas with out permission. We like our relation ship with Toyota!

Nice work Mark.

Great pics! Is the beige a metallic or a solid? I'm assuming those fj's have the offroad package with the 16" wheels... could you zoom in enough to see the yellow bilsteins?

I like the Sandstorm, but I still LOVE the Voodoo. I'll need to see them side-by-side to make my choice. Soon... very, very soon, yeah!

Mark, did you see any black cherries there?

I came to this forum looking for answers on these new Toyota trucks I had just driven off a ship the night before. I posted that they were on the way to dealers and it created quite a stir here. A member named Speedwayblue said he would take pictures, so I told him where to look. Later that week, we parked a bunch in the upper lot, right by the fence to get some closeups. Don't try to outscoop the scoopers.
Here is the original sighting thread.http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...-portland.html

Hat is off to you on that one. I had not heard of this fourm at that time. It was over on the Ih8mud fourm I put them up: FJ Cruiser ----- “There heeeeereeeee” - IH8MUD.com Forum

HOWEVER: You did get out scooped for 08's.....Cachow!
