Has anyone been told that their warranty would be void if they used their FJ off road? My local dealer told me that if anything happens to the underside of my FJ, it would void the warranty due to excessive use...

It makes sense to me. Street motorcycles have warranties, but off-road motorcycles generally don't.
If you are off-roading to the point of damaging shields, you are going beyond normal consumer use IMO.
I don't need no stink'n warranty.

I think they'd have a hard time refusing a warrenty item unless offroading was the DIRECT cause of the malfunction. For example, I've wheeled mine HARD. I blew the rear diff. That was my fault, because of the 37" tires. I didn't even try for a warenty replacement. However, the serpentine belt pulley started making noise. While my rear diff was still busted, I brought the truck in for the pulley replacement. Mine is OBVIOUSLY offroaded.
