I would strongly advise you to 

1. Run in/Break in the new car ( at least 500km+) more info on the forums https://www.fjcruiserforums.com/threads/engine-break-in-for-the-fjc-v6.100127/. Many advises there from experienced members driving a FJ

2. Acquaint yourself with the gearing (after point 1) , how to engage 4H and 4L and ride it. Each car responds differently , and even with experienced driver like you or anyone - a new car needs some time to get used to. So take it easy

3.  Once you are done with 1 and 2, take it for a spin on sands - preferably during day light as visibility is better. 

 

I hope you get my advise sportively and not to discourage you to join. You are always a great driver and a friend to ride with .
