Droptop Toyota FJ Cruiser
We came across Newport Convertible Engineering at the SEMA show a couple of weeks ago, and the company's FJ Cruiser Convertible immediately caught our eye. Not only does this $10,000 conversion give FJ Cruiser owners a power-operated soft top in place of the standard steel roof, but it also eliminates the FJ's giant C-pillar that creates a huge blindspot for the driver and makes back seat passengers feel claustrophobic. Of course, the sight lines are still pretty bad with the top up on the FJ Cruiser Convertible, but we would hope after spending 10 large on such a conversion that you'd want the top down as often as possible. You're also forced to sacrifice some cargo space, as the soft top's roofline slopes down immediately after the roll cage's cross bar located just behind the rear seats. It almost looks like a four-door coupe.

i'm surprised at how good the FJ cruiser looks on the road. It's definitely a departure from the traditional SUV, but it definitely doesn't look bad. Surprising to not see more of them out there, I only see a few here and there

I'll call it a work-in-progress. Looks good but refine it. The soft top design is a bit iffy and the rear window is tiny. you might as well not look out the back of that FJ.
