I've got a FJ62 that I just can't bring myself to sell. These rigs are "bulletproof". If I was going to buy another one I'd go with a 97 40th anniversary edition. 2 good websites are www.ih8mud.com and
www.cruizers.com for classifieds. Good luck.

Have you seen the upcoming FJ? I hear it's built on the 4Runner chassis which might be a good thing with the large aftermarket supply.

I am sooo sold on one of these puppies. MPG be dammed
 I visited ih8mud.com and they are like a bunch of Pelicans, even have a monthly get together locally. Now i have to convince the boss that an 80 series is better than the 100 which is better than a MDX. Which i am not sure is better than the new FJ David just posted. Got till October till the lease on the ML350 runs out to find a good rig, but ready to buy now.

I would wait for the V8 to come out. You know they will and you are going to want that one. Bigger is better! I want one too! But I would want the bigger engine.
