    Sorry to see ya let her go, but, we all hit that crossroad eventually. Best of luck to ya and I hope she finds a good, new home (even at her age ).

    I just put 2200 miles on it in the first week of owning it. Had to drive the sucker up to Maryland and back from Georgia. The trip back had a 6x12 trailer on the back of it... in the rain.... lightly loaded (wicker furniture) and in the rain caused a fair bit of fishtailing. Quite disconcerting.

    As for the aftermarket stuff, I bought it a 7 year bumper-to-bumper warranty so I'll be laying low on the plethora of aftermarket, warranty-breaking goodies.

    It is getting the GPS nav system installed today

    So the $10 question ... how did your back handle the long drive in the FJ?

    I understand getting a new vehicle... but only to save some mileage on the VX I'm sure I'll get a new car in a few years... but I have no intention on getting rid of the Vehicross... I'd rather park it than part with it.

    That being said I'm a big fan of the FJ and it was definitely in the running when I purchased my VX.

    At your current driving rate you'll have more miles on your FJ than I do in a couple years And I wouldn't be surprised if you already have more miles than Jo.

    Wow, sorry to see another member go. Personally I think it makes sense to think about selling rather than letting it sit parked (unless you have the free time to enjoy it on the weekends of course). Do you mind if I ask how much you got on your trade in?

    My lower back hurt quite a bit on the way up. Getting used to the seat and apparently its quite a common complaint about the FJ seats. On the way home though it didn't hurt nearly as bad. Getting used to your cars seats is part of the process. My legs however were perfectly comfortable and never went numb or tingled or anything.

    MD eh? Should have taken the opportunity to look me up. I have been BORED!!!!
    My folks live over on the Eastern Shore. I drove up Wednesday night and left Saturday morning. I barely had enough time to visit all my family up there unfortunately. I might be back around Xmas - although we're supposed to go to my in-laws for that holiday this year.

    Yeah the FJ is not as cool as the VX in my book either, but still a nice option. Jay Dunford traded his VX for a FJ as well and he has that thing black out nicely. Good luck with everything
