Default Toyota FJ Cruiser Convertible


Thinking about summer driving pleasures, Newport Convertible Engineering in Placentia, California chopped the top of the Toyota FJ Cruiser. How a Convertible SUV does sounds to you?

Convertible conversion give Toyota FJ Cruiser owners a power-operated soft top in place of the standard steel roof, but it also eliminates the Toyota FJ’s giant C-pillar that creates a huge blind spot for the driver and makes back seat passengers feel claustrophobic.

If you want to chop your FJ Crusier, you can do it for about $10,000.

Looks kinda jeep-ified. It'd be 10 times cooler if it didn't have those stupid looking completely un-offroadable giant wheels and street tires, though.

The TRD FJ was executed much better. And it has a 4.7 V8 in it.

The hiding of the fold top looks really awful and bulgey.
I'm sure you could get ASC to do a drop top like they did for TRD for your FJ.
