First of all, I love FJ's!  Second, that's a supercharger for a 1MZ-FE which is the same engine my Avalon has... #jdmtyte

First of all, have you owned an FJ? FJ40's are cool, cruisers are not.

Secondly I didnt do very good research. I just googled TRD SC and your image showed up on a FJ forum. My bad.

Either way, anything is cool with a blower on it........... Unless its an FJ Cruiser, then that's just "trying to be cool". 

I group them together with H3 hummers, Jeep liberty's, and most Mom suv's like Ford Edge's.

Meh, you got me lol.  I lazily googled supercharged 1MZ-FE and did zero fact checking.  I have not owned one but I have driven a few of them and I loved every second of it and they look awesome and I have no shame in saying it!  Have you owned one?!  They are WAY nicer than the shitboxes you listed.  H3's and Liberty's should have been an abortion from the beginning and the Ford Edge is just confused.

FJ Cruiser just wishes it was a real LandCruiser...  They may be fun but not the real thing.

I agree on the fj40 and would like to add the fj60 as also being badass, one of my all time favorite trucks. Someday...

I have not owned one, but the roommate use to, and I drove it a bunch. It sucked gas, was horrible in the snow, and rode like shit. To each their own obviously, but every time you have to replace all 3 different sized windshield wipers, you are reminded of how dumb the thing is. In my opinion, for the money, I know for a fact I could find something way more bad ass and enjoyable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[jc43089]

I have an FJ60.  It sucks gas, is pretty good in the snow with my pizza cutter M/T's.  The ride is so rough it will count steps on a pedometer.  The rust is bad, and the parts are rare.  It is still so much fun.  

What I think is a true sign that the FJ is not a Land Cruiser is that FJ Cruiser drivers do not recognize the 60 and wave.  Know your heritage/Respect your elders!

If it was a daily that you had to drive it would be miserable.  It is pretty much a tractor, 4spd manual with 4.10 gears means 55 is about top speed.  It can pull things but not fast.  I towed a Uhaul trailer when we moved that was probably around 6000 pounds and it dropped from 12 to 11 MPG even though the entire trip I had the pedal to the floor and never hit 50MPH, it never gets hot, just keeps on chugging.

All in good fun 

When you see another one you have to take a picture it happens so rarely.  This was a one owner FJ62 that had over 350k miles.

I love these days, I take the long way home.

That’s awesome, didnt know anyone on here had one! I suppose I’m slightly biased, my experience with one was almost purely off road in a lifted one with a coil spring rear. That thing was just tough as hell and nearly impossible to get stuck in. 

I definitely hear you on the ride though, I think the coils in the rear helped but it was still kinda crashy and crappy riding. I was still having too much fun to care though haha. 

Sorry for the thread jack

Flight leaves in 24 hours...

[Jdesign]

Ohhh man. I want one so bad. They are really common all over Colorado. I never see them, but when I was there I saw one almost every 20mins. Its was epic!

Goodluck on your Flight. Cant see what you bring home!

Less road salt in CO helps.  They dissolve quickly.  I've had this one for 8 years, and put around 20k miles on it.  It's just over 200k.

It must be good if flying to bring something home.  I imagine focusing at work is tough today...

Focusing all week has been difficult!  It's been a roller coaster ride for sure!

Drive safe dude
Congrats!

Watch out for window lickers

[RobZR]

Looks good. Safe journey. Be careful out there. Hit the tail of the dragon on your way home definitely worth the side trip.

Looks like I started something.

[patsbimmer1]

A quick video before i left the dealer.  This thing is intoxicating!  I made a quick stop for a car charger and some food and back on the road!
