Our New 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
On Saturday I took delivery of our new 2010 Iceberg White Toyota FJ Cruiser. This is the start of a new project vehicle and I will be posting about ALL the modifications.
The FJ is currently configured with the following options (Items that I wanted are bold and items that will be removed are in italics):
- CQ Convenience Package – Remote keyless entry system, cruise control, power outside mirrors with illuminated markers, rear privacy glass, rear wiper, spare tire cover, backup camera linked to an electrochromic mirror with integrated backup camera monitor

Toyota Options not included to be ordered and installed:

The total purchase price was $34,000.00 (including all fees) with an extended warranty included. We purchased the FJ from our local Toyota Dealer “Toyota of Colorado Springs”. Our first FJ Cruiser was purchased from this dealer and I have been very happy with their support and service.
I will getting started on the modifications this week and will document the cost and process for each mod that we do.
NICE!
So, Thomas. It’s a 6 speed manual, right?
We went with the Auto this time..
You’ll be the foremost expert on the differences in performance, function, etc. of the manual transmission vs. the automatic transmission on the FJ in a trail environment. Can’t wait to hear your observations on that.
This build will be fun… encourages me to work more on mine… stupid money… lol
Don’t park near a snow bank… You’ll never find it! :-)
I’ll have to put a red flag on the antenna.
i did not see in your posts but maybe missed it: why did you choose the white this time ’round. We just got an army green (wanted sandstorm but did not want to pay for TT) and am wondering why others choose the color they do.
Blue is no longer in production and I like the idea of black on white.
Your new baby looks AWESOME! Have fun with the modifications. In case anyone is interested in a tire review, I have just put three years on the stock size Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors AT’s with great success. They work great in all conditions and still have plenty of tread left.
Sorry about the loss of the burro. It will be good to see mods on a 2010 FJ though. Most mods and aftermarket parts stop at 2009. I’m sue most will fit because of the identical body. Hopefull, you can highlight mods that can and can’t be done!
