Shinka, doing her best to leave the biggest Carbon Footprint she can!

The white color and black rims actually make the FJ look nice. Dunno must be the combo but I've seen the Yellow ones and I just wanna say "Look a life sized Matchbox car!". So come on Shinka.. whats the first mod you have planned???? haha

this model is a new release...called the "trail team edition"

all other FJs come with a white roof, rest of the body is one of the factory colors..ie brick, beige, silver, yellow, blue...

the TT edition comes in only one color ICEBERG white

Did someone say STI?





Pictures really don't do these cars any justice. The front end/flared fenders look great compared to the base and WRX models.

Coincidently, the man who owns the Blue STI in the pics, also has a Blue FJ Cruiser (along with a few other vehicles and lots of toys lol) lol

That is a sweet set-up!

My brother has the TRD Special Edition (all black)
here
(not his truck but it is identical)

As soon as the FJ came out, it reminded me of an off-road red-headed step-child of the 8. (suicide doors, 6-speed manual, 238ish HP)

Some have a 6-speed with a very potent V-6 and are no slouch on the road.

The all-black and all white are definitely the way to go.

Nice compliment to the 8.

Cheers
