This 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4x4 — a Sandstorm Off Road Edition with blacked out trim — is offered at $19,500 in Costa Mesa, California by the original owner. The proven 4.0L V6, automatic transmission, factory ATRAC, and rear locker form the foundation for over $25,000 in documented 4x4 and comfort upgrades: Scheel-Mann Vario seats, Demello aluminum bumpers with winch, MetalTech sliders, Expedition One roof rack, a custom Kenwood/JL Audio stereo, an IKON Stage One suspension, and a complete new RCI skid plate package. 193,235 miles, driven gently with limited trail use, consistently below industry average. The CARFAX is spotless: no accidents, damage, structural issues, airbag deployment, odometer rollback indication, or open recalls; clean title, 24 service records.

Build Summary: Every upgrade avoids the common mistake of piling on weight that limits the FJ's capability. The goal: strong on and off road performance with reasonable fuel economy, suspension geometry in a sweet spot for mountain roads, paved or unpaved.

Suspension, Tires, and Armor: The 2-inch IKON Stage One lift on 285/75R16 Ridge Grapplers keeps geometry and center of gravity dialed for predictable on road handling instead of chasing lift height. The Demello bumpers improve approach and departure angles in light aluminum; steel only where strength mattered for hard hits: sliders and rear diff skid.

Electrical, Ready to Expand: 240 amp high output alternator and Northstar AGM battery installed; a second new MechMan 240 amp alternator (P# 11139240) included, ready to bolt on for expedition accessories.

Scheel-Mann Vario Seats: Driver and passenger Varios on MetalTech mounts, German built, known in the overland community for orthopedic support on long drives; 4 way lumbar, wide bolstering; one of the build's largest investments.

Minimal Trail Use: Nearly all its life on pavement, meticulously cared for. Only noticeable wear is the steering wheel; new replacement with install puller included.
