Default Disguised FJ's in socal **HUGE PIC**

Being road tested out here in Socal. My buddy lives in an area of Orange Hills where a lot of the test mules rendezvous. So w/ his superduper zoom lens (1/4 mile away) he snapped this off. To the far right is the Toyota Yaris and the 3 others are the FJ's

Wow good thing your buddy carries this super duper zoom lens around...a great shot it is!!

From the stance of the FJ it looks like it's gonna eat the Jeep's for lunch!

Man, your friend's a sniper, hiding in the hills, a quarter mile away snapping these off. I doubt they even knew he was there, great shots for camo'd cars.

Darn! I had the opportunity to take non-disguised pics of the new FJ last week!

Some Toyota guys were inspecting it near my house.

I actually saw one of these new FJ's cruising down the 405 the other day. It's one of those car that you either you want one or you absolutely hate it.

I want one!

Not really very well disguised in my opinion. Bright electric blue surging through the black camo.
That color is pretty signature for the FJ.
