Hey all,

Just traded in my 09 xb for the series 8.0. At first I was definately not into but the longer I looked and the better the sales guy did his job, the more I liked it. I loved my 09. I put the 17" rims, fogs, spoiler and did an aftermarket lowering kit with springs and struts. It was a blast to drive. I'm getting the same add-ons except I am taking the 17" rims from the old and putting them on the new. Saves me $2K. I pick it up monday. The funny thing was, I only went to the dealer for my wife and I started looking at the FJ cruiser. After the FJ turned out to be twice the payment as the XB, my brown eyes turned to the smurf mobile and the deal was sealed. It definately grows on ya and my daughters love the color. Can't wait to get it on monday.

 

Totally crazy dude, but congrats on your new ride -- looking forward to photos !

 

Congrats, new cars are always a joy.

 

AWESOME

 

I was looking for a FJ also and ended up with a xb cuz of cost. My parents neighbor has a FJ, even though its sick as all hell (lifted and what not) he says the gas is murder and bought a miata for commuting.

 

I really like the RS8

 

I actually like the FJ, I kinda always wanted one in black with the TRD bronze wheels.

 

Just picked it up today. # 379 of 2000. I absolutely love it. Its so nice to see color on my car. The previous xb was black. And its nice to ride in the comfort of a non-lowered car. I loved the look but I never realized the difference until switching back today. Just in time for the Smurf movie!

 

nice trade up

 

Holy wheel gap Batman!

 

Beautiful color, great looking car! Definitely too much wheel gap! Just install Tanabe NF210s and call it a day! lol

 

I'm convinced that Toyota did that just to try and sell everybody their TRD lowering springs.

Tanabe NF210's FTW!
