Buying an car can be a difficult experience. I sum up some of the more unique and important things to watch out for when buying an FJ Cruiser second hand. While they are great vehicles make sure you do your due diligence in buying a well maintained FJ Cruiser.

Good advice. I looked for 2 1/2 years for one. Patience is the key & the more you look at them the more you learn.

The FJC does pretty good in 2wd especially using the lsd button when needed. I primarily use my 2wd fj as a daily here in the Chicago land area so not a lot of Off road opportunities near me. Its a great tow rig for my teardrop camper and boat. I bought 2wd because of the cheaper price(what i could afford), less maintenance, possibly better mpg and I found my voodoo blue color I wanted with 100k miles on it.

That is a pretty good find. Especially if it has no rust over there in the Midwest region.

@@angelon7095 keep that frame coated, inside & outside, with Fluid Film (or another brand) in early October if you plan on driving it in the salt, better yet also get a beater-car for the winter. It may cost you a little more, but you will be happy that you did. They aren't making any more FJ's.
