FJ Owner Reports

"My Driving Habits of this FJ"

I live in Minnesota but this FJ was not driven in a Minnesota winter. I stored the FJ in a garage and did not drive it at all from October through March.

The FJ was never "wheeled" or "offroaded." I drove it back from Proffitt's Cruisers in Colorado. I drove it to work about three days per week (again, not in the winter). And I drove it on the weekends to family lake cabins or around town.

The FJ easily cruises at 75 mph down the interstate with the cruise control on (when I first got it, I actually forgot that the bigger tires make the speed-o-meter off by about 7mph, so when the speed-o-meter said 75, I was actually going about 82mph).

Title

I have a clear (no liens) Minnesota title in hand that I will forward via overnight mail upon an agreed sale. I can also forward a PDF of the title if a serious buyer wanted to see a copy.
