Default Hiya everyone...

I am from Indianapolis. I bought my FJ in April of 2007 and never been happier with a vehicle. Got about 72k miles on it now. I have turned it into the only Tonka Edition FJ out there. Even fooled a local Toyota dealer. When I had to take it in for something, they were completely turned around trying to figure out what it was and how to find it in the manuals. Eventually, the super asked me about it. When I told him that I did all of the customization, he let me know that he called many dealers and area representatives trying to find a Tonka Edition.

Below is a picture of my FJ from last winter when I cleared a parking lot at work. The snow was about six inches deep and pristine. I just could not leave it be.

Hey just a note to let u know that I am the proud recipient of that vehicle. Fooled me too. I have been looking to see if this was an edition Toyota put out or if it was customized by someone. Traded in a Pathfinder and couldn't be happier. Good job on the work u did!

You bought my old FJ from Butler? That is awesome. Where are you located? Just curious if I am going to see you tooling around town in it.

As a side note, my 2012 FJ is doing very well. Today, I had the new TRD exhaust and cold air intake installed. I have my new Bushwacker fender flares and DeeZee brushguard. Those are going to get installed soon. I tore a trapezius muscle recently. No heavy work for me for a while. That includes installation of accessories.

Here are pics of the intake and exhaust tip. Not going to crawl under for a pic of the whole exhaust.
