Up to what year can the X-1/UCON can be used in an FJ Cruiser? I know with Tacos it's only up to 2008.
Looks like I'm getting pushed from everyone I know to sell my truck and get something that can seat 3 kids in the back. It's paid off and we already have a brand be Camry but I keep getting asked "what if" questions which I personally can't stand. "What if" u HAVE to drive all 5 members of the family and all u have is the XRunner? Blah blah blah!

If I stay with a 2005-08 4dr 4wd taco or 2007+FJ I can keep my blower and most goodies for goin fast. My wife likes the FJ and I saw one that was all army green which I really liked but I've always been into goin fast and taking corners......I really want a SRT8 Magnum

NEVERMIND found out info on URDUSA.com. 2007-09 FJ's

Before deciding on an FJ, go test drive some 4th gen 4Runners, 2003-2009.

It is the same drive line as the FJ as well as the suspension. The frame is the same until it passes the rear axle.

I like the 4Runner much better and it is worth a look.

They are not hard to find at all. Just look for them at the gas pumps....

My X usually gets 18 MPH in normal driving, 20+ on road trips.

You must really be hammering on yours.

I really don't, I can go days if not a week or so with no boost. My combined 70 highway and 30 city nets me around 270 miles a tank. Lately it's been all city and its well under 250 miles a tank

Worst I've seen is 10mpg pre blower

No, it has always been that way even when brand new and un-modified.

Youve been quite sarcastic lately.... pump gas= gas , not E85, race fuel, jet fuel, jet a, jp-5, jp-8, hydrogen,propane, alcohol and on and on it goes.

All I need to do is put kids back there. I'll never be in the backseat of my own ride

i agree. i do like the fj, but i would take a 4runner all day anyday over one. 03-09, preferably 06-09 cause that was the revision years.
