Anyone ever seen one of these?!?!?!

First off, just wanted to say hey to all the 05+ Tacoma guys...

Hope all has been well with you all... now for the good stuff...



Has anyone ever seen one of these?!?!?! I saw this guy a while ago, but this time I happened to have my telephoto camera on me (this guy was WAY far away when I took this pic (about 200-300 yards...) so I took a pic... pretty cool!

Kind of cool? Can't say I would do that to an FJ, but to each his own. Did you post this in the FJC forum as well? It probably wont be here long, OT. Sweet find though.

yep, and with a REAL rollcage underneath the hardtop, unlike the Jeeps faux Rollcage....

the hardtop would need to be squared off in the back, like the Jeeps, so it doesn't look gay like that picture up above.....

Say yes to Jesus!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure I read when the FJ first came out that a soft top (from Toyota) was in the works.

But that looks aftermarket.

Something like this looks a little less

I think it's cool. If it had a real roll bar that is. I think a modular folding hard top would be nice too.

I like it.

I would trade my Taco in a heartbeat for that.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. An FJC convertible would sell like hotcakes. I would buy it the day it came out, as would most of my family, and a lot of people looking at Jeeps.

I like what Tacomaoffroad said about it having a removable hard top. That would be fucking awesome!
