- This is why nobody wants to sell the Toyota FJ Cruiser. It is an overlanding and offroad dream. This is also why the Toyota FJ Cruiser must make a comeback!

How many miles does everyone have on their FJ?
My 2009 168k
115000 2007 manual
2009 180k miles MT
I’m at 115k on my 2014 AT
2007 FJ--134,000+
I have 321000 kms! I will never sell mine
2007 FJ with 530,000 miles and still going strong!
Wth
Amazing!!
Holy shit man that’s awesome 😎
Wow!!!
Only Toyota!
Original engine???
If this doesn't work out you can always go into radio. You have a perfect radio voice.
Haha appreciate that!
I love how tall it is in the parking lot. I love how unique it is on the road, yet when I see another one I also get excited.
I am especially good at spotting other FJ's when I'm on the road. I'm sure it's the same for you
I’m envious of the getting excited about seeing one aspect. I have a Tacoma and can’t drive a mile without running into at least 10 of them
Me too, whenever I can I pull up and talk about our FJ's. Everybody loves them and almost no problems with them.
Totally me. I love my fj and other fjs. Hehehe 😁
Same. Lol. I do whats called the “FJ Wave”, meaning I stick my hand/arm out the very square window and wave like I lost my Mom in the store. Seems to work most of the time. Other times I look crazy. I dont care, though, I’m in a lifted FJ. Lol. Another joke my family and I have is “WHAT ROADS? WE’RE IN AN FJ”. Works every time. Lol
I could watch those 3 wipers dancing for hours
it's catchy isn't it??!
Thanks for this vid, subscribed
If you got an fj and moved to the pnw you probably would
We have one - for 10 years. Those wipers squeak like hell - even new.
@@duanephillips2343 replace the wipers…?
When I see another fj I flick my wipers to say hello. No ones done it back yet but I still do it.
I’ll wave back if I see it.
I do the same, usually I’m just flashing my 3 wipers at Middle Aged women
@@xMLGbeast98 Those women have a special place in my heart.
@@xMLGbeast98 RIGHT? Same thing in my area. Lol
In the GX community, we pinky wave.
I love how Unique my FJ is and how some people stop and stare at it when u pull in the parking lot. My FJ is lifted on a 3 inch lift with huge 35 inch tires on it. I will never sale my FJ.
I'm buying an FJ just for the 3 wipers lol
I originally did this and then fell in love with the whole thing. After I lifted it and put 33’s on it. I fell in love all over again. The wipers still make me giggle. And I hope one day someone will ask me about them, because I particularly think they are the coolest trait of the FJ, since not a single other vehicle on the road has 3 wipers on the windshield. :D
Seems that FJ Cruiser owners rarely know that the headliner above the driver and front passenger's head is a pair of flat panel audio speakers. Better than cool, it's kewl.
What?!? I gotta go check now.
Didn’t know that either. Are they totally concealed?
I believe it's the rear channel. If you have rear pillar speakers you may hear those as well if you fade rearward. The ceiling panel speakers are very subtle.
If Toyota ever brings back the FJ I'll be first in line for one they're awesome
UAE is still making them.
Here we go. Rev up your engine.
There is no other 4x4 like it out there. I love my FJ. 😎
You forgot to say that it simply is one of the coolest off-road vehicle ever made...
Do not sell it ever!!!
Exactly!!
@@stokedtour
Thank God I am not the only one that thinks so...
Take care my friend.
I remember trying to buy one a few months back and the dude selling the car when I came to check it out told me he raised the price of the FJ +5k. I asked him why he didn't tell me beforehand me driving 2 hrs to come check it out and he said I prob wouldn't have driven there to check it out. I don't think I was so disappointed in my life since I was so stoked to pick one up.
DAMN that sucks :((( Sorry that happened to you. There will be other opportunities
I would be PISSED.
Another feature not mentioned is that if you're lucky enough to have one of the few FJs with a manual transmission, then you also have a torsen center differential, and you're always in 4WD, like an Audi. This makes a huge difference during sudden changes in traction, because the front/rear torque split is both fully mechanical, and fully automatic, always adjusting for ideal traction. Bottom line: the only thing better in the snow than an FJ with a manual is a full-on snowmobile.
I love this breakdown even more than I love my MT FJ
I have a 2014 with a manual and I love it :)
@@thabrownieviking
I'll buy it off of you. Lol
Because of the AWD (ctr diff option in the MT) I almost never have to use 4L and especially 4H.
Noice! I just scored the wife one for 5k
Was looking for some FJ info, stumbled over your channel - content is on a high level, respect!
TH-cam recommended this channel to me. The algorithm knows what I like! Great video, man. Hopefully I can get an FJ in the future.
You sold me on the wiper dance...... FJ PROJECT IT IS!!! subbed
LOL I'm happy you enjoyed that ✌
Drove mine from Maryland to California and lived off it for almost 1 year. It has a especial place in my heart and will never let it go.
Thanks amazing!!
Loved your video! Really 😎 Cool. 3-wipers FJ Love from Seabrook Texas!!
True AF. I bought mine for $33k in 2014 brand new...pretty much loaded without the crawl control. Just saw an ad 2 weeks ago for a 2014 for $47k. Crazy
One of the best vehicles I ever owned. It had blind spots but you get used to it. Tons of head room. The 4.0L was a Way better engine than the newer Toyota 3.5L that came in the Tacoma I had after the FJ. The rear locker and atrac front was very capable off road. It was unique you didn't see them on every street corner like I did when I had Tacoma. Rolling in a new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon which it is very cool and feels unique like the FJ was. Hold on to that FJ you will miss it if you sell it. :(
Just found this channel. LOVE IT!!!! Been smiling the entire time!
Haha thank you my man!
@@stokedtour Bro. You have a 60 series too... Take a look at my profile pic. Can we get some 60 series videos please? My new camera arrives tomorrow and I'll be making some. :P
I am 82 yrs old and have a 2008 FJ with 82000 miles and love the thing. We also have a 2015 LAND CRUISER, I enjoy driving the FJ MOST. Both use lots of gas ..but are worth it.
totally worth it!
Greetings from your first follower from middle east. I really enjoy the adventures and the content you provide. Keep it Up
Thank you!!
Only thing you forgot was the extra “glove compartment” type thing on the dash!
I fully regret forgetting that 😭
I have still have, new in the box, the Toyota designed Garman GPS module that fits in there for the FJ.
I have never seen anyone else with one. I might have to install it.
@@cenccenc946 I just put my phone there and the lid holds it up, idk how normal car owners do without it Haha
@@samuelyeet6006 YES! Me too!
Oh I have to try this now
It's a cool little SUV, it really invokes the spirit of the old Land Cruisers from the 1970s. I feel like Toyota pulled the plug on the FJ too soon. The past couple of years overlanding has exploded in popularity and gotten more mainstream, would be nice to see the FJ make a return in like 2024 and compete with the Wrangler and Bronco.
Totally agree
Technically they never did, still sold overseas in a few spots, its just the slumping sales in NA happened right before the new SUV/X-over craze and they could not justify the production
Just got my first fj! You got my sub with this video made me laugh every time you mentioned the wiper blades. Awesome video man
I spent 2.5 years searching for a 2012 TTSE and finally bought one last month!
Congrats man!!
LOL, love this vid. Triple wipers is the 1st thing I show off.
It's too good. Gets em every time
Totally on point!
My sister got the first gen when it came out new only bc she wanted a car thatll protect her. I told her about its history and more and she absolutely fell in love with it even more. NOTHING has broken on the car with 250kish miles. Feels like a truck but it isnt. Feels like a suv that drives like a truck. Perfect medium.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Subbed because I own a FJ! The first time my GF seen the 3 wipers she was like "did you do that?" Umm nooo Toyota did that. 260,000 miles and can still pass up most loud musclecars. Will change engine at time of engine burnout. FJ Cruiser is fun to work on I changed the alternator, spark plugs and about to change fuel sensor sending unit without dropping fuel tank.
We have two one for off-road one for mall crawlin. 2013 & 2014 respectively
We bought one in 2007, sold that one and bought 2 2014 and will keep them forever. How many other families have 2 or more FJ's?
@@Finn-qg7vv we did also have one in 2007 for a short time. It was a base model 2WD. Didn't have a lot of money at the time but really wanted one 😂
The general public is too boring to bring FJs into production, but the FJ owners are too smart to sell theirs.
I got mine in June last year and I love it all the mods and changes i have done to it makes it so much more special
Right?! It's more than just a vehicle...
Dang wish I’d seen this before I bought my Taco. Good video! Nice energy.
Not selling mine ANYTIME soon. New cement grey paint job, LEDs, low mileage. Pf. This thing ain't leaving my side
I love the FJ!! Its honestly one of the coolest looking vehicles! I hope Toyota brings it back to compete with the bronco and jeep!!
Yes!
I'd like a front sway bar quick disconnect ony fj
Thanks for that scenery towards the end. gorgeous.
Glad you liked it!
Great work man. The FJ was my first consideration my biggest issue was no flat back and blind spots are crazy. I love everything else about them.
Thanks man! Yeah the blind spots take some getting used to
I just put side cameras in fenders. Then you can either use a 7” LCD screen or Rearview Mirror monitor. Never turned my head since.
I would probably have to get rid of the wife before my FJC 🤣🤣
😂
HAHAHA
As you should 😂
🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏🇨🇦💪
😂😂😂
I got lucky I just bought one 6 months ago. Love your videos
Welcome to team "NOT SELLING"! And thanks!
had mine since 08. didn't have traction control so read up on it and you can add Atrac by just installing the switch and completing the circuit. all the sensors are in place as it uses the same ones as the stability control. got the switch for $20. on ebay and it took about 40 seconds to install.
The front drivers side dash compartment is the perfect place to keep your pistol, I lined mine with non slip cabinet drawer lining.
I laughed out loud when you were dancing with the wipers. Subscribed! I'm considering buying my buddies 2007 FJ.
I´m crying ... I sold mine 4 years ago, and I regret every day :((((((((
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 😭😭😭
I just bought myself a 2014 FJ cruiser :)) as I relocated to South Africa. Must say it grows on you and I love it!
Got mine at Christmas time. 07 170k miles. 6k in gold and silver plus 2500 cash :)
Great video mate.. I was considering selling mine here in Australia due to the value sky rocketing here, theyre selling for up to 65k.
But there just isn't anything that compares or has 3 Wipers. So I'll be keeping my orange toy for years to come 🤙
Tell a normal person that you're not capitalizing on crazy the resale value due to "3 wipers" and they'll think you're crazy...but here in the comments, we all understand 😎✌
Been tempted to profit on mine also, but I literally cannot imagine a suitable replacement for the absolute reliability and uniqueness. I’m in the used car business and drive hundreds of cars every year. Nothing creates the long term pleasure of driving my FJ. Ever.
Also, they will just keep going up in value!
The wiper dance got you a subscribe. Well done
Half the comments here are about the damn wiper dance 😂 Glad you enjoyed it 😎
@@stokedtour actually convinced me to buy my own FJ. In love with it and I sure as he'll wave my wipers when I pass another fellow fj owner
YES! Welcome to the club 😎
drove from California To Vero Beach Florida: 2010 Fj now has 180,000. Running Strong!
I just turned over 87k on my 2013 FJ and if I had a dollar for everyone that’s asked me if I want to sell it, I’d be rich! It’s my dream vehicle and when I kick the bucket I’ll probably give it to the kids. It’s a Beast! Everything I’ve ever wanted in a 4x4!
Awesome! As much as I love the 3 dancing wipers on the front, nothing beats the wiper at the rear. I mean, it's little more than a tooth brush! This vehicle screams confidence. Up yours, Jeep owners!! G'day from Australia :)
HAHAHA toothbrush! I'm sad i forgot to mention that one too. My fav part is when you go to turn the rear wiper off, and it delays for a split second and then just drops out of sight 😂
2012 trail edition in red is my fav. I know of three of them for sale right now.
Love my Red 2012 MT Trail Teams
@@mcelroychandler6267 as far as I know they only made 1200 of them. They are the best!
Got yourself a new subscriber! Loved the video, cheers
haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I didn’t know you were rocking a 6 speed too! Love the channel, thanks for the guide on how to build that box in the back too ... saved my life on buying off the shelf boxes and it’s so dope for camping
Thanks my man! Glad the DIY build is serving you well! So cool to hear that someone has built something similar in theirs haha
@@stokedtour your walk through was so well done. The hardest part was playing Tetris getting it in the truck. The suicide doors came in clutch
i've always wanted one of these!
Yeah me too but, now they want a lot of money for even the used ones
tried to buy one in 2010...the wait was 3 months. I now drive a 2020 4 runner which has same powertrain as the Fjcruiser.
So many people love it. It's true that it's very particular in terms of style, so Japanese from my perspective, but that's exactly the point is car to be in love with. It's not my style I must confess, but I will like it to return.
Dude this is premium content given the size of your following. Keep it up man earned a sub here
Thanks for the support man!
Wiper montage #2 earned you a sub. G’day from Down Under
Everyone talked about the first wiper montage but the second one barely gets any recognition 😂 Haha thanks man
Haha def gonna’ subscribe & my dream car is the FJ cruiser.
Just bought an 08. 142,000 mi. Runs and looks like a new one.
@@kenstoner1756 CONGRATS sir!
You forgot to say “ on top of transmission hump, is a small rectangular depression that perfectly fits a standing McD box of fries. “
As a regular user of McDonalds, I shall try this immediately.
@@stokedtour the fries sit better if you stick them between the parking brake and the console.
@@dustinhale4337 these comments on how to position your fries are killing me 😂
So excited found a diamond in the rough, single owner non smoker garage kept green FJ with 120k miles on it. I love it, can’t wait to start over landing it!
Those footages at the end were amazing! I look forward to getting one ^ ^
Thanks!
The cubby over the steering wheel in the dashboard is one of my favorites. It’s an amazing awesome vehicle.
AGH I forgot about that one! Honestly such a useful space
@@stokedtour wait till you see the next cool thing I bought for my FJ. Should be here tomorrow.. will post pics on IG. Stay tuned lol I have the truck mostly packed and ready to roll for camping. Super excited.
Its one of my favorite things too!
Yup! Love that cubby too.
And the best part of the FJ Cruiser...the awesome 20mpg on the highway. Boo-ya!
Cool video good vibes thanks
I own an FJ 2007 manual, man I love your channel.
Bought mine 2 1/2 years ago after doing ressearch on it and was impressed! It holds the highest resale value of any used vehicle brand/model! My '07 black cherry FJ ticked all the boxes for me!
Man I loved this rig, I had a tuff decision to make back in 2019, unfortunately I opted for the cabin space and got me a tundra TRD pro but man I would love to get one of these! My entire fam has wranglers would love to shit on them with an FJ lol cool vid man got another sub here
Haha thanks and glad you enjoyed it ✌ Get the Tundra a brother!
Lol, you wouldn't "shit" on any jeep offroad, maybe on pavement, but now the jeeps are amazing on the road too so...
As an Asian, I was totally convinced when you showed me the rice cooker.
Rice is life ✌🏼
Great video! Subscribed now!
My fj is part of my life. Ii will be mine forever
welcome to team "NOT SELLING"!
I love my FJ! Things I love about it? I actually love the little things, like the locking shock on the rear door and the compartment in front of the steering wheel. Easily, that dash compartment is the coolest thing I've ever found in a vehicle
Dude you're the guy from Hawaii! So cool! I watch your videos about the FJ and all the modifications haha. What a small world
@@stokedtour lol yeah, that's me. I just stumbled across your channel and was checking it out. I'm so behind on videos :( I've bought so many things and still need to make the install videos
Haha awesome man. Your videos helped me out so much. Excited to see what's coming!
@@stokedtour sigh, when I have the time. Hopefully soon though. I'm building a 2jz for a different project video series I'll be starting too, but I want to finish my other video plans first
Good video keep up the Good work
115000 on a 2014 TTUE. Was thinking about letting it go but your video reminds me of everything I love about it.
Mate... I take my FJ everywhere. Best 4x4 I've ever had!
Always trust an Aussie when they talk 4x4 ✌
There’s a few things I’ll add like a rear diff lock and A track. Also plenty of aftermarket mods that can make your FJ unique. I inherited mine from my grandfather and it’s the raddest piece of machinery I’ll ever own.
Cheers
Those are good points too - good to have those things right out of the gate.
Hey, I inherited my 2007 FJ from my grandfather too! 90K miles strong!
Salut! Amazing video once again! Merci! Now because of you i see FJ everywhere! LOL
Merci beaucoup! Haha yes the FJ is very popular in Quebec 👍
This is cool man I just found one a year ago for two grand and I’ve been redoing the entire truck runs and drives great just maintenance work I love it solid !!
omg 2 grand?! What a steal
I have a 1975 FJ-40 and it is a beast. I won’t sell it either.
Do you live in the north? And if you do how has your frame been holding up on a vehicle that old?
👍 yes! Love my 2012 FJ Cruiser. It’s pudgy and funny looking like me when I was a kid. The FJ stands out on the highway for sure.
I rarely see Fjs for sale and when they are its around 10k Canadian, Your channel has made me want one!
Haha I hope you can find one! And thank you, that means a lot!
I saw one like two years ago it was selling for $12k 135k m
Fun video. Good sense of humor. Now, I go back to my broke down Bronco.
Mines been through some shit and it keeps going. My fiancee told me I'm never allowed to sell mine lol
2011 85k bought it on 2012 with 10k. Stopped using it as my daily in mid 2018 and happy I did.
It is just an awesome all around car, undeniable and if you aren’t a Jeep fan. there aren’t many “collectible” off road vehicles until this came onboard.
2008 silver with 145k miles. I bought it for 12,800 in 2021... Guess they did not know what they had on the lot. 😁 It's my daily and my porsche 997 is my weekend ride!!! ✌ Great video!!!!! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. NEVER SELL!!! 🤷♂
Dude you do an excellent presentation...and dont believe this is all you do😂Brother I have you pegged as an overachiever💪👏🤘
Hahaha well it was all I did until I ran out of money 😂
I checked to make sure I was subscribed after the wiper blade music video. That shit cracked me up!
LOOOL the choreo was the hardest part
Sick! Great vid, I've always loved the look of an FJ! I personally just want that V8 in a Gx470/60 or an older Landcruiser!
4 runner and cruiser are more practical and more useful, I love my FJ, but frankly it is the most impractical vehicle in my 40 years of SUV ownership
@@mannyechaluce3814 yeah I hear you! I recently just picked up a gx470 and have been loving it. Such a great rig!
Keep up the great posts!
Will do!
Great video thanks. My 2011 176k
Sir you are funny, I certify you!
haha thank you ✌
My 2008 FJ has 260+ KM on it and still running great.
Excellent thanks for the vid. Subscribed
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support ✌
Great video man. Ive got an 07 6 speed with 186k miles now. Thing’s solid!
Thanks! There's nothing quite like it
Sold mine on Friday, already miss it. Only reason I did it was Bc I bought a LC200
😭😭 Glad you have the LC200 though!
I just had my 3rd kid, thought about selling my 10 trail teams for a 4runner. That thought lasted for about 3 seconds then I was like nope.
hahaha, welcome to team "NOT SELLING"!
I understand that completely and I purchased a 4Runner. I just chose to keep the FJ and have both. The 4Runner is a much better vehicle for family shenanigans and my kid appreciates the rolling window and four doors for what it's worth.
You are 100% correct dude! I love my FJ. You might only see 1 per 15 Jeeps. And that's what makes them cooler. Besides their looks and Toyota build quality. We are driving modern classics!
Just discovered your channel love Fjs but I’m a Mopar guy Toyota a close second lots of respect. ✌️
