BODY OVERVIEW:
This isn’t your average FJ Cruiser—this one sheds its roof for an open-air experience, thanks to a rare convertible conversion from Newport Convertible Engineering. The body retains its bold, unmistakable FJ styling, but with added personality. As shown in the photos, there are some minor nicks and dings as are to be expected for a vehicle of this vintage. Buyers should note that this was originally a Michigan vehicle, and the undercarriage shows it. As shown in the photos, there is an area of heavy rust in the frame rail towards the front of the driver’s side.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The Black Cherry Pearl finish brings depth and richness to the exterior, turning heads in a sea of beige SUVs. Toyota paint isn’t exactly known for longevity, and this FJ has held up well over the years. There is a bubble above the rear passenger tire that deserves attention, but otherwise the paint holds a good shine and presents well save for normal chips and surface scratches. There are some touchups and rock chips present on the front, as shown in the photos.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Inside, the black and gray leather seats offer a clean, rugged look with a touch of comfort. The overall condition is very good, with normal wear common to a utility vehicle. The stereo has been upgraded to a modern Sony unit with Alpine speakers. Factory features include a real 4x4 shifter, compass, and level gauge. Overall, the cabin reflects the vehicle’s low mileage and responsible ownership. The convertible conversion integrates well into the interior layout, giving it a distinctive vibe.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Mechanically, this FJ runs and drives just as a low-mileage Toyota should—reliable, composed, and ready for any adventure. The power convertible top is inoperable, but the top functions well manually. Power windows, A/C, power steering, and other features function as they should for a great blend of rugged utility and modern comfort. The BF Goodrich offroad tires are in great condition, and add an additional level of ruggedness. This is a modern classic from a legendary era in Toyota history!
