  2008 FJ CRUISER HAS TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 150 MILES OFF ROAD ON ESTABLISHED TRAILS AND 15000 MILES ON PAVED ROADS. THERE ARE TEARS IN THE INNER FENDER APRONS IN THE CRUMPLE ZONE AND THE NOSE OF THE BODY APPEARS TO BE SAGGING DOWN. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS IMPINGED AND PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF WHEN IT IS OPENED. THE RIPS FORMED SPONTANEOUSLY, THERE HAS BEEN NO COLLISION OR IMPACT ON THE VEHICLE. THE TEARS ARE THROUGH METAL RUNNING FROM THE TOP OF THE CRUMPLE ZONE TO ABOUT A HALF INCH BEFORE THE BOTTOM OF THE CRUMPLE ZONE, THE TEAR IS ABOUT 6 INCHES FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE BAY. *TR

  I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER AND HAVE DRIVEN BOTH ON AND OFF ROAD SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2008. I HAVE NOTICED A POPPING SOUND WHEN OPENING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WENT TO LOOK AT WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE INNER FENDER APRON IN THE ENGINE BAY WAS BUCKLED AND TORN IN THE CRUMPLE ZONE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER STRUCK ANYTHING WITH MY VEHICLE, NOT THE GROUND, NOT ANOTHER CAR, NOTHING. THE RIPS RUN FROM THE TOP OF THE CRUMPLE ZONE TO APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF INCH FROM THE BOTTOM, THE TOP OF THE TEAR IS FOLDING FORWARD SO THAT THE TEAR HAS RESULTED IN AN OPENING IN THE SHAPE OF A V, I ASSUME THIS SHIFT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE DOOR IMPINGEMENT AGAINST THE QUARTERPANEL. *TR
