2008 FJ Cruiser

Home / chapters / Cars/ 2008 FJ Cruiser

I needed to buy a reliable vehicle to carry my bikes and kayaks to the trail and lakes.

After driving the different Jeeps and other trucks, I settled on the FJ for it's comfort and reliability.I bought this one from Simi Toyota with 35,000 miles on her. The color was not great, but I grew to love it.This FJ took Marv and other friends to MANY trails, lakes, harbors, and up to June Mountain, to mountain bike, kayak and snow board.I ended up selling this truck to my friend Dustin for $15,000 with 85,000 miles on her. He brought me to understand the cult following of this vehicle. I wanted to upgrade to a 2013 with a back up camera and blue tooth.Here she is over at the Pillars of Lake Crawly hike with Mammoth Mountain in the backround.

Fitting my new kayak on top. However this kayak is inflatable, so it just went inside!

This was up in Big Bear looking for Heart Rock Falls.

This was a hike to the top of the peak overlooking the 101 freeway and Kanan Blvd.

Fall color right around the corner from Bell Canyon

This is how Dustin transformed my old beauty, my new 2013 FJ is in the backround

We traded in my old LS 400 with almost 100,000 miles and bought this 2009 LS 460 out of a 3 year lease, the only way to buy a car today. If you buy it from the dealership, they guarantee the condition and give you extended warranty.

Ever since I laid eyes on Tesla's converted Lotus sports car at the L.A. Auto Show, I was hooked. It took seeing a 2013 model outside a Chinese foot massage for me to order my own.

2013 FJ Cruiser

2013 FJ Cruiser

"The Guzman" is officially mine. A new car is not your own until you have washed it yourself! I sold my 2007 FJ Cruiser, which had 89,000 miles on it, but now I have learned that that is just over break in for an FJ. I bought this 2013 model with 36,000 miles. They stopped making them in 2014, so this would be classified as a late model. It has so many features that my 2007 did not have, like the off-road package, upgraded stereo, backup camera, and must have Bluetooth. She is ready for some ADVENTURES!
