Yep, dealer time.

If it's all just normal Toyota stuff the dealer will be able to explain it better than us on the forum with no test drive....

FJ's rock. You can always get a lemon with any kind of vehicle though.

Actually, now that I think about it, this sounds A LOT like the issue I ha had with my Cherokee. Even though I was driving it in 2WD, the transfer case had slipped, and stripped the gears. When I would accelerate, it would spin until it would catch, and then jerk the vehicle really hard. Mine was covered under warranty .. they had to replace the entire thing.

Even if you bought it used ... there is a 30 day warranty that they should honor. Make them fix or return it.

Mine is stock also. If you end up keeping yours, do some image searches on black FJs ... there are some sweet ones out there, including on this forum!

I think what he means by 4D is the position on the auto-tranny....it locks it into 4th gear as you can lock it into 3rd....2nd and low....then there is just D (drive) where the intelligent drive chooses the right gear to be in....
