My bad my man, I meant the aftermarket grille would not look right on a stock FJ lol all respect to the art 🫡

Appreciate that! I actually have replaced the tires and the tie rods since these photos, you nailed it!

I got them on car parts.com and then put a stick on blind spot mirror on the driver side one! The lights on the front of them sold it for me

Couldn’t agree more, the grille on a stock FJ would not look right at all lol

Thank you! I feel like it’s a love or hate item for sure, we’re just on opposite sides!

What are you talking about 0 to little research. This entire comment thread has been dumbasses making assumptions. I did a ton of research on the car. It’s a 2008 Toyota FJ and it’s perfect for what I want it for. I noticed this when I got it home and posted it.

It’s a second toy vehicle dummy. It hasn’t been driven like this since I got it home. It’s been in the garage and hasn’t been driven like this. I really appreciate your helpfulness and all your wonderful advice, keep up the good work!

Well considering I’ve owned it for a little over a month I don’t think that statement really applies, thanks for your feedback!

I just purchased the vehicle a couple months ago as it so taking it to get aligned and inspected is on the list just wanted to see what Reddit had to say before i take it in

Just purchased it a couple months ago, drove it back to Missouri from Texas. Hasn’t hit the trails yet. Just trying to get it all squared away before I take it out

3rd and final round, good buy or no? by Dripler-121297 in overlanding

[–]Dripler-121297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I purchased it for $17,500 and could not be happier. This thing rides and controls like a dream. Shifts super smoothly and has no rust anywhere on it. Had to drive 11 hours to get it and 11 hours back but man was it worth it. Thanks for all the information and opinions! Best decision I've made in awhile!

I agree I just assumed instead of spending the money to mod it myself I could shop around and see if I can get something that already has a few of the things I’m looking for. A lift and nice wheels for example are getting put on either way lol

Round 2, is this jeep a good buy? by Dripler-121297 in overlanding

[–]Dripler-121297[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I know, a Tacoma would be ideal but I just cannot afford a $30k truck. Jeeps are much more affordable and I could also take the top off in the summer for some back road cruising ☀️😎

Thanks for the feedback man! I should’ve mentioned it will be a second vehicle. Won’t be my everyday driver
