    Hey all, coming at you from Connecticut. I am a long time member of the FJ Cruiser forums (CT_FJCruiser), and have just put in my order for a 2022 TRD Offroad Premium. My build is as follows:
    Barcelona Red
    KDSS with moonroof and sliding rear cargo deck
    Console safe
    All weather mats
    Cargo cover
    Gunmetal gray TRD wheels

    I'll try to see if the dealer will swap my tires out for BFG KO2's for delivery. Sales manager checked with parts and said it all depends on if they have a vehicle that needs the stock tires when the Runner comes in. Otherwise he'll sell me the tires at their discount and mount and balance them for me.

    Because KDSS rigs don't ship to this part of the country much, he wasn't sure how long it might take, but I'm prepared for a few months wait at least.

    In the mean time here are some pictures of my FJ and my old 94 4Runner which was a 22RE 5 speed. I sold it to a guy in New Haven in about 2010? Last I knew he was moving to Colorado with it shortly after. Notice the skid bumber I made dor the front. If anyone knows this rig let me know! I would love to know her fate.

    Toyota doesn't really do custom orders. When you place an order with the dealer, they're essentially just waiting for that vehicle to be allocated to them. Your order does not make that allocation any faster or more likely.

    All that to say, if it's not allocated yet, it's anyone's guess as to how long it will take. And the more specific your needs, the more likely it is to be "if" rather than "when."

    Don't just sit back and wait for this one to show up. Keep looking around while you wait.

    Well my dealer said something to that effect. But he also said that if the order is in long enough and not filled that they will eventually build it. He also showed me that 1 in 497 4runners coming to this part if the country has kdss, so nothing else seems to be available. Anyway, I'm getting a substantial discount under MSRP due to my relationship with the sales manager. Other dealerships in n CT, like many places are charging thousands over MSRP, not to mention every one coming in in the next 2 months is already allocated to someone else. Valid points, and I appreciate the heads up, but I am ready to wait for exactly what I want.
