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.
National Luna Dual Battery System
Another modifications complete. Today I finished the dual battery system install in our new Toyota FJ Cruiser. For this build I chose to go with the National Luna Dual Battery system. “The National Luna Intelligent Split Charging System allows you to maintain two or more batteries in your vehicle. The Intelligent Solenoid manages the... more
All Pro Front Bumper Installed
One of the items that I salvaged from the Blue Burro was my All Pro Off Road front bumper and EP-9000 Superwinch. With the 1″ body lift installed I needed to modify the headlamp bracket to clear the All Pro Bumper. I cut the existing brackets off then welded 1/2″ square tube on to... more
FJ Cruiser High Clearance Tail Pipe
Another toy that All Pro Off Road fabricates for the Toyota FJ Cruiser is the High Clearance Tail Pipe. This pipe runs from the muffler back and is bolt on. Both the stock and TRD tail pipes are exposed and prone to damage while wheeling. Installation takes very little time when being installed on... more
All Pro Rock Sliders install
The parts from All Pro Off Road have started to filter in. They fabricate what I consider to be one of the best sliders out there for the Toyota FJ Cruiser. For this build I went with the Extreme Duty Rock Guard which is built from super strong DOM tubing. Prior to painting I... more
Auxiliary Battery Install
Using the battery platform on the right fender of our 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser made the installation of the second battery very easy. To make room for the battery I first had to relocate the power steering reservoir. I then used a few sheets of polyurethane under the battery to help secure it in... more
Odyssey Primary Battery Installed
I consider Odyssey one of the best battery manufactures. The Odyssey battery is dual use and can be used as both a deep cycle and start battery. For adventure travel and Ham radio use batteries are charge cycled much deeper and more often than normal automotive use. The Toyota FJ Cruiser has room to... more
2010 FJ Cruiser Power Steering Reservoir Move
The 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a battery tray mount on the right fender. I chose to use this location for my second battery. I also will be installing a 1″ body lift which will stretch one of the PS hoses to much. Both these items required me to move the Power Steering Reservoir... more
Alarm and XM Installed
I have been jealous of our friend Dale and his XM radio so I ordered and installed the Toyota upgrade to the Jammer radio to add XM. After I took all the interior panels out the install took about 1 hour. I now look forward to radio reception when we are in the middle... more
Second Horn Installation
This is one of the first electrical mods I made to our new Iceberg FJ Cruiser. The FJ Cruiser is wired for a second horn. However, the wiring harness for the horn is located behind the washer fluid reservoir. I have written instruction on installing a second horn in front of the radiator using... more
FJ Cruiser Grill Blackout
So the modifications have begun on our new Toyota FJ Cruiser. I have started with cosmetic changes and I am working on blacking out the silver on the grill, mirrors and door handles. The grill was first. It was easy to remove the grill from the FJ with the removal of a couple of... more
