FJ Cruiser on it's way out
According to an Automotive News article back in August the FJ Cruiser won't be updated by Toyota and be allowed to complete it's life cycle and then dropped in the next few years.


Quote:
The Supra revival has been shelved due to high mpg requirements, allowing Toyota to focus on its RWD coupe, jointly developed by Subaru. Also, there's only room for one body-on-frame SUV from the automaker, so the 4Runner will be re-engineered for the 2010 model year, will debut in either New York or Chicago, and the FJ Cruiser will complete its lifecycle and be dropped in the next few years.
The Sienna and Venza will be equipped with hybrid drivetrains in 2012, with the Sienna receiving a facelift late next year, along with more cargo space and room for third-row occupants.

The report goes on to state that the Corolla will be redesigned in 2013, along with the Matrix, the next Camry will receive a facelift in 2010, with the new model debuting in 2012, and the new Avalon will debut in 2011 as a 2012 model.

What will this do for parts in the future?

I hear ya they pushed the Tundra but the FJ was always real quiet. We said the same thing about the Nissan Titan.

As for parts I have a feeling the FJ will have parts for decades to come. Heck, I can still get parts for my 72 so I wouldn't worry about it.
