This feature was Toyota FJ-heavy for a bit, but we haven't had one for a while. So today we're featuring a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD.

The seller has a new Bronco on the way, so he or she is unloading this FJ for $34,999. This San Diego-based ride has a supercharged 4.0-liter engine with 133,000 miles on it, CARB-legal JBA headers, a stainless-steel cat-back exhaust system, a TRD front-brake kit, a TRD cold-air intake, OEM rear locker, and new coils and plugs.

Both front and rear suspensions are heavily upgraded, and there is a lot of off-road gear, including a winch, extra lights, and a roof rack.

The seller has also put a lot of time and money into the audio system. Since this isn't an ad, I won't list it all here. You can click through. All told the seller claims there is $40K worth of upgrades.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Observation A: Very nice condition for a 15+ year old vehicle.
Observation B: Let's not think about the owner's cost per mile.

Looks like a street queen. Black would show off-road battle scars rather easily.

  Agree.. might have been wet once... But then rapidly parked indoors and re-polished

Wolfwagen Am I the only one who thinks that this car should be saved and resto-moded with an early 2000's VTEC? Perhaps go a little crazy and swap in the power train from an S2000?
Ger65690267 Well, the TFL guys who have a Cybertruck with even more miles have noted their tires still look fine. They drive all sorts of terrain and situations, and they haven't seen the wear, which means that guy is running his truck probably rather hard more than he cares to admit.
SCE to AUX "EVs tend to chew through tires in a way that surprises many new owners". That hasn't been my experience. My EV has 210 ft-lbs of torque on 16-inch tires, 3100 lbs curb weight. Tire life has been just like a gas car, which varies according to driving habits. So I agree with the "big surprise" headline.
1995 SC Led me down a rabbit hole to see what the OEM tires were. I was curious if they were using some sort of ultra high. performance summer tire (didn't seem to be). However it does look like you need that specific sidewall design or part of the wheel cover won't fit. Not a "feature" I'd want.
Cprescott I used to love spy shots when cars changed so often. No point now in even paying attention to them since cars barely exist and the lard butt CUV/SUV's clog up our roads
