Modifications
I have worked to document all the modification that I have made to my FJ Cruiser. If you are unable to find a specific type of mod try using the search box.
Completed install of All Pro Off Road Front Bumper
It took some time to get the final build of my new All Pro Off Road front bumper completed. A new light bar from All Pro was ordered so the finish would match the new bumper finish. I upgrade the lighting system to include four 4″ Fuego lights. The winch install again required the solenoid to be removed... more
Baja Designs Fuego Lights Installed
For some time I have been running 2 inexpensive HID driving lights from Checker on the front of my Toyota FJ Cruiser. The pattern from these lights was not very well directed down the road even though they did seem to fill the area right in front of the FJ with light. I also... more
Rear Mud Flaps added to My FJ
With the addition of Bushwacker fender flares the Toyota FJ Cruiser stock mud flaps are removed. On past trips the front of my trailer has gotten plastered with mud and with no flaps the problem is going to be even worse. I decided it was time to fab some rear mud flaps for the... more
Viair Ultra Duty Onboard Air Installed
I have been running a CO2 system in My Toyota FJ Cruiser for the last 3 years. After each trip the CO2 tank needs to be refilled which costs over $18.00 at the local welding supply store which has started to add up. I’m also am planning on adding an ARB air locker to... more
EVERBLADES Heated Wipers – Installation
Dealing with ice and snow on the windscreen has always been a problem. Using winter blades keeps ice from freezing in the blade holder but ice and snow will still build up on the blade. A few members on the site http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/ recommended trying EVERBLADES heated wipers. After checking out the EVERBLADES website I decided... more
New Rotors and Pads for my Toyota FJ Cruiser
When my Toyota FJ Cruiser was at the dealer for some service a few weeks ago they informed me that my front brakes pads were getting close to worn out. Instead of having them service the brakes I took this opportunity to add a simply brake upgrade to the FJ. The upgrade consists of... more
My FJ Cruiser gets new Fender Flares
As a part of my tire size change project I wanted to add fender flares to my Toyota FJ Cruiser. I went to Bushwacker to help with this part of the project. Bushwacker has 2 models of flares available for the FJ Cruiser. The Pocket Style Flares and the Extend-A-Fender models. I chose to go with the... more
Rasta Skid Plates
Full Rasta Skid Set In building our Toyota FJ Cruiser up for off road adventures I have worked hard to keep the weight down. Our initial build included steel skids from All Pro Off Road which have protected the bottom of our FJ from trail damage very well. However, in an attempt to reduce the... more
Body Lift installed
In anticipation of installing new wheels, tires and re-gearing I installed my Toytec Lifts 1 inch body lift this last week on my Toyota FJ Cruiser. By lifting the body I don’t have to worry about the larger tires contacting the body at full compression. The other solution is to extend the bump stop... more
14 Inch RainX Latitude Blades for FJ Cruiser
I love the 3 wiper configuration on the Toyota FJ Cruiser, however, there is a very limited selection of quality blades for the center and passenger side. In an attempt to remedy this I decided to modify 2 rainX Latitude Wiper Blades. The shortest blade available is 16 inches and the center and right... more
