Wow, that's sweet. There getting closer but that isn't the convertable I was looking forward to.

With all the sunroof problems on the 4Runner, I'd be worried about this one...

Is that really 2008 FJ or an aftermarket modification?? It doesn't look factory to me.

2008 has not come out yet...and that picture looks like the inside of a regular Toyota dealership.

It is not an 08 model. Toyota is thinking about doing this.

Toyota shouldn't waste their time making a sunroof. Instead, they should make a removable top like the previous generation of FJ40s.

Definitely a nice idea, but probably not feasible, structurally or cost-effectively. Too much bracing is built into the current roof, hence the thick C-pillar. If it had a removable top, they'd have to brace more of the undercarriage, which sounds fine, but would add a lot of weight.

Definitely, esp. with the suicide doors.
