New build! E90 M3
-
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...

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!

Hoping this is for real now.
"Hey dude can you rev my car?" Lmao
-
It's real! It's a long story with a lot of ups and downs that i'll post later but it's real! Quick rundown
2011 e90 M3 dct Silverstone ii 64xxx miles
Only mod on it is a Borla exhaust. I was able to acquire the maintenance history and it had been at the dealer as recently as 57k! It was a really well maintained car and it shows!
I only have a couple cosmetic mods and the gts dct flash planned right away since it already has an exhaust. This thing is a blast and unlike any car i've owned! I've gotten a bit of attention driving it home already from people and I love it!

"Hey dude can you rev my car?" Lmao
That's basically how I asked him except it was "Hey man, my mom wants an exhaust video. Can you rev it for me?" Lol
-
Congrats dude! Definitely an upgrade in the exhaust note department. Love the sound of those things.

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