Love my 08 FJ Cruiser. The lock out diffs make it a REAL 4 x 4. It is without a doubt the best production 4 wheel drive available in the USA. I have extracted 4 of the newer Jeep 4 door types in the last 6 months where I live in New Mexico. Looking for a "Official Jeep Recovery Vehicle" decal for the rear window of my Cruiser.

Drummondlindsey: Will do. Have to have my secretary figure out how to post. Going to pick up two more in April for restoration. Took Madala out for a spin today and had a blast. Going in for a reverse shackle kit and poly-tank switch shortly.
just turned 10,000 miles on it last month. Two road trips from Boise to San Diego and the rest local and a few hunting trips. Up to the hills this spring for Rockchucks. For the entire 10K, the average is just over 18mpg.
My wife loves it, and so do I. Definitely a keeper!
My mother has one with the TRD off road package. She has a little over 160,000 miles on it and really loves it. I really wanted one until I drove hers. Just to many blind spots for my liking. I did take it off road though and it will certainly go places that I lost my nerve. My 4Runner works well for me.
