This feature was Toyota FJ-heavy for a bit, but we haven't had one for a while. So today we're featuring a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD.


The seller has a new Bronco on the way, so he or she is unloading this FJ for $34,999. This San Diego-based ride has a supercharged 4.0-liter engine with 133,000 miles on it, CARB-legal JBA headers, a stainless-steel cat-back exhaust system, a TRD front-brake kit, a TRD cold-air intake, OEM rear locker, and new coils and plugs.

Both front and rear suspensions are heavily upgraded, and there is a lot of off-road gear, including a winch, extra lights, and a roof rack.

The seller has also put a lot of time and money into the audio system. Since this isn't an ad, I won't list it all here. You can click through. All told the seller claims there is $40K worth of upgrades.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Observation A: Very nice condition for a 15+ year old vehicle.

    Observation B: Let's not think about the owner's cost per mile.

    Looks like a street queen. Black would show off-road battle scars rather easily.

  • Orange260z I'm facing the "tire aging out" issue as well - the Conti ECS on my 911 have 2017 date codes but have lots (likely >70%) tread remaining. The tires have spent quite little time in the sun, as the car has become a garage queen and has likely had ~10K kms put on in the last 5 years. I did notice that they were getting harder last year, as the car pushes more in corners and the back end breaks loose under heavy acceleration. I'll have to do a careful inspection for cracks when I get the car out for the summer in the coming weeks.
  • VoGhost Interesting comments. Back in reality, AV is already here, and the experience to date has been that AV is far safer than most drivers. But I guess your "news" didn't tell you that, for some reason.
