The rain finally stopped today and I was able to get my new '08 FJR. I rode it home and put a few farkles on but couldn't take being in the garage with the nice weather so I headed north for a ride to check out the new throttle. It shifts smooth as silk and the throttle response is perfect...don't have to do a thing to it like I did on the '06. So it looks like the power commander will sit around in the garage until I find someone that wants it.

If sirryan doesn't take your old Power Commander, look me up! I've been shopping for one.

Congrats on the new 08!

Having had an 06 (that was rear ended & totalled) I find the 08 to also be as smooth as the 06 was after the PCIII was installed. I'm going to hang onto my PCIII because I plan to install the Holeshot headers/exhaust in the near future. I then will install a custom map after putting it on a Dyno.

If for any reason you may upgrade your exhaust you may want to rethink letting that PCIII go.

Your '06 trade in plus $3000 OTD.... is a hell of a deal. Where did you get that kind of a deal ?? :dribble:

Congrats!

I like the new color! But i will have to hang onto my 05 for a long time! These farkles are too nice and expensive to do over again! :rolleyes:

Maybe 2010 will be the magic year for me!
