"Here's a little update on my FJ. I'm still the proud owner of it :) I'm a little over 16,000 miles. In the past year I did manage to take a long trailer trip and it was great! First off, popping it in 4WD on the highway in snow is great! Made it from NJ to FL in 19 hours through a blizzard (NJ-Virginia) and rainstorm (Virginia-South Carolina). On the way back, I pulled a midsized U-Haul trailer filled to the max weight limit and made it back to NJ is 17 hours. Luckily the weather was clear and dry on the way back. This is by far the ultimate utility truck. I am starting to notice the blind spots a little more and have adjusted for them. Recently I installed LED turn signals and brake lights. They look great! If I get a chance I will try and post some pics. My #1 complaint is the mileage. Local driving I get about 10-12 MPG and on the highway about 19-21. I know weight is part of that problem. I installed the tuffy security drawer in the trunk and it adds a good 150lbs or more, plus everything i got stuffed in it."

"not as powerful as the 700wx (I've had the 650, 700w, and now the 700wx). I like WM5 a lot, though the lack of threaded texting makes me CRAZY! There are apps available, but they're poor quality and cause the phone to lockup. There's a great case from SPECK that fixes the accidental tap problem (unless you have a shaky hand, that's not accidental tap, that's old age or too much caffine) Speed dial works well and they contacts sync with your Outlook program. You can edit them on your pc or on the phone! It's a great phone, but I will likely skip the 750 and wait for the 80 or later until I upgrade again."

"This car replaced the Corolla as Toyota's smallest economy car. It's small, fuel efficient, and economical for anyone with a small budget. It's also stylish with minor modifications and can be customized with both factory and aftermarket mods for a truly unique look. I'm curious if they will release an alternate fuel or hybrid version of this. 60mpg anyone? :)"

I haven't tried online or skirmish mode yet ...I like playing the missions first to learn all the units available. Even though I've become more of an MMORPGer (EvE & WoW) I will definately give props to this game and say it is totally worth buying!"

This is my 5th SUV (had a 1997 LR Discovery, 2000 LR Discovery, 2002 Lexus RX300, and 2005 Lexus RX330) and to tell you the truth, the RX's were probably the most comfortable of the rest, the the FJ surpasses in maneuverability, style, customizability, and overall happiness that the vehicle gives. It's totally worth the upgrade for the TRD, but good luck finding one. I got lucky and got the only one up here in NYC."
