Toyota FJ Cruiser 4x4

Janjua · 7th November 2011, 11:57

I recently (September 2011) bought a pre-owned Toyota FJ Cruiser. I am uploading some of the pictures that I clicked.
I have not had a chance to go off-road till date, but am planning to go to one of the off-road parks in Illinois/Wisconsin before the snow sets in.
FJ is a super-ride and an absolute delight to drive, but I still miss my Thar dearly.
Hope you guys like it and I would be happy to answer questions, if any.

Congratulations Dr. Saab ! How old is this car? Can you share specifications of this model with features? Also have you left India for time being?

Dear Sandeep - this means that now you are in "phoren".

. Good, good, enjoy your life! Nice car I say, how good is it off road? I would still prefer the Jeep look, nothing beats it.

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

Good choice!

I have a 2007 FJ too, and I find it simply marvelous for all types of weather, specially deep snow. You have the automatic version though.

Does this have the Toyota A-Trac feature? (Brakes individual slipping wheels to transfer power to opposite wheels via torsen diffs) Or maybe even a Lockable rear diff? Ive watched numerous videos of this vehicle offroading and it is very very capable indeed. Enjoy!
