OTHER:
This truck has been off road and provided some awesome fun! I'm a conservative off-roader and have taken things slow & easy. One of my first off-road trips was with the Trail Teams guys so I got a great overview of the realistic limits of the FJ from early on and haven't pushed it. I'm disclosing the below because I want the buyer of this truck to be 100% thrilled with their purchase:

There is a 3" dent in the hood and a small one just above the windshield from when my canoe got away from me while putting it on the roof rack. ...this is also why I no longer have running lights on my bull bar The dent is inconspicuous on the white. I got an estimate to have it removed by Dent Wizard for $275 but haven't gotten around to it. The dent above the windshield isn't noticable unless you're really looking for it.

My spare tire has a quarter-size chunk taken from the side wall. It holds air just fine and I ran on it for a couple thousand miles before moving it to the spare slot. Works fine as a spare for on-road but I'd replace it if I were going to go on a big wheeling trip.

A couple of my beautiful black TRD wheels have some scrapes. I personally think it looks good like this, but some may think otherwise. The wheels all balance just fine, they just don't look pristine. You can touch them up periodically to look like new, but the touch-up only lasts for a few months then you have to lug out the sharpie again.

The skids and rock rails have done their jobs and tooks some mild scrapes. They have thier full lives ahead of them...they are fully functional and there are no visible scrapes from the outside...but again if you're lying under the truck, you will notice the mild usage.

AND FINALLY:
The question of why anyone would sell such an awesome machine inevidably comes up on these posts. This is pretty much my dream vehicle and I intended to continue building it out and spending summers with it out on the trails. Well, I recently found my dream girl and we tied the knot. I need to give up the FJ as it's no longer practical for my family and I'm happy to do it. I just hope that whoever buys my FJ will get it's tires dirty and maybe send me a picture every now and then from a beautiful trail summit.










Posting some interior pics as they've been asked for recently. Not the best pics from the garage, but the alternative was me standing out in the monsoon we've got here today.








19-SEP Edit - I finally got around to looking at my odometer...32k vs. 34k. I usually keep up the trip odometer as I'm always checking gas mileage (~17.1mpg) so wasn't sure when I originally posted the ad.

Re: 2008 Trail Teams Edition - Wake Forest, NC

Thanks guys. I'm OK with selling my FJ. I love it, but some things are more important.

It's an automatic. Happy to field any other questions.

Re: 2008 Trail Teams Edition - Wake Forest, NC

TylerJonesy had asked me for a picture of the spare tire condition, so thought I would post here as well.
