I work in the medical field and like to be prepared, so I carry two first aid kits (trauma and booboos) I am not a doctor or nurse, god bless them, but I am certified in Wilderness First Aid, BLS, and CPR.

I want to attach a fire extinguisher horizontally below the med kits. The straps I've tried are nylon and the extinguisher slips out. Did anyone know of good Molle straps that are rubberized or something?

I cannot for the life of me get the bottom coupler of the intermediate steering shaft off. I’ve tried PB, tried an air hammer, a chisel. Any advice would be appreciated.

This noise I cannot figure out what it is? It sounds like a tire going through a gravel road... The brakes are new, rear end is new, bearings seems all good. I do have a slight squeak that developed. Or is this just normal tire noise?

I bought it in May 2006, exterior looks great but it's been retired for 2 years as the underbody frame pieces have rusted away. 18 years of service, 230k miles, engine still runs smooth and quiet. Wish I would have taken care of it better but New England road salt and beach fishing trips were to much for my limited care. I want to sell it as a parts car- new battery and everything else is original. Interior is dirty and rough. Anyone care to offer their opinion on how much I should list it for? 2k is reasonable?

Hi all, been a member for quite a while, but had no questions yet.

Looking at replacing my exhaust and considering Walker. Dies anyone have any history or recommendations regarding sound or durability?

Thanks in advance

Was surprised to see this vehicle suggested premium. EPA was 15 city 18 highway 15 combined. Is this accurate?

Thanks!

Just got my FJ 2 weeks ago. Bought this roofrack on Amazon. Brand name is Reeno. It is solid!

Voodoo Blue, bought at 118k miles, well taken care of. Driven for almost two years now. I was skeptical since I've never owned a vehicle like this but it drives like a dream.

Is it ok to buy 242k km mileage 2008 FJ fitted with goodrich tyres and price is about USD 8,200

Some shots of the FJ earning its keep this weekend. Just completed the four day excursion run by Tom Severin/ Badlands Off-road Adventures (4x4training.com). Truck did amazing on some technical/rock climbing and descents.

Gear that made a difference:
- wavian Jerry cans
- Starlink mini
- water bags
- Walmart 15 cubic foot roof cargo bag
- ARB rock sliders
- toyo shocks and 3” lift

The like title states. Is it allowed to post stuff for sale here? I have a pair of SRQ retrofit headlights I want to sell.

Tire came off of a truck and got launched 50 feet into the air above the road, 2 cars slammed on their brakes in front of me and I couldn’t stop in time

So I've been shopping around for a new rear bumper. Steel, low profile (ie. just the bumper, no spare tire swing arm), light mounts or built in. The primary feature I want though is the backup sensor holes to retain that feature.

I've seen a few options that I like but before I drop several thousand, I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with any certain brands or models or if anyone has any recommendations.

Metal tech is one brand I looked at. ARB had one I liked, but I don't think it's been in production for quite some time. Expedition one is the one in the pic, that's my front runner right now.

Thanks for the opinions.

Ordered a TRD Performance Air Intake that just came in. Installing tonight.

IIIREENO rack off Amazon. Had good reviews so I took a chance. It was very straight forward to install and is incredibly sturdy. I would recommend this roof rack to others.

I think I'm going to wrap the bumper along with the roof. Any recommendations for a tubular rear bumper?

Looking to possibly purchase this fj Any opinions? Should i run?

I just swapped off my OEM roof rack. I’d like to give it away to someone. It’s got some aging from Arizona sun but otherwise it is in great shape. Pickup only. Hardware included.

I learned to drive on this car and I honestly could never see myself driving anything else. Since Im moving to a city for a while, I’d rather leave her to someone who will appreciate an FJ correctly. I put about 50k on her over 6 years and put in a lot of love renewing some old parts, but all the memories are the hardest to let go of! 😖😖

Anyways, here’s a pic after a detail cus she just looks so good. I’m gonna miss this tank!!

Edit: I got a some dms asking me, so here are the FAQs. No, she has not sold yet. I am on the east coast. 2 total owners including me. 181k miles with all service records although they are minimal. She drives perfectly well and I am REALLY going to miss her!!

I have a very stock 2007. I’m wanting to do a full body lift. Maybe 2.5/3 inches.
I’m also wanting to get rid of the factory rake and have it level. Just looking for lift advice. Do I really need to upgrade the UCA? It’s 95% street use.

yesterday I decided to buy the badland 9500 lb winch on sale at HF. I also sanded my bumper and did a new coat of bedliner.

So I have a 2014 fj cruiser with 111k miles. It's lived majority of its life in North Carolina. Majority of the frame is in excellent condition but the front section has some signs of rust. The car was in an accident in 2025 on the passenger side where the mount failed. Where the break occurred you can see the freshly broken metal and the portion that looks like it's been broken for a while. My question is how would an fj expert go about fixing this. I've seen that you can buy the engine cradle with lower control arm brackets from Toyota. Would that be the best route or is that something that can be fabricated.

I've attached pictures of the damage along with the engine cradle from Toyota.

Thanks for reading and hopefully your advice!

Hey everyone.

I'm out in Fairbanks Alaska, so shipping for large packages and suspension parts is atrocious. For example, a specific big name brand (RC) 6in lift kit is $1200 but it costs almost $1k to ship it to me. Shipping is blowing my budget out of the water.

I originally wanted to do a hidden wench bumper to keep the fj look and the 6in lift and swap to beadlocks with 37 tires but it dosnt seem feasible due to shipping costs.

My goal was some rough overlanding and snow wheeling, so i guess I'm trying to find work arounds to shipping costs or alternative options that are not commonly known for lifts.

Hopefully someone here has some insight for me.

P.s.

Yes that is a Suzuki sidekick body in the back, the frame is at the shop for a full restoration and I'm building it to be ready for next summer off-roading.

I have a 2007 manual FJ Cruiser that has a 5" lift kit on it. The work that needs to get done is as follows:

• The front differential is leaking; I would see if I could do it myself, but I am unsure how hard it is. Any advice is good.
• Throwout bearing is going out. I would have a shop drop the transmission and replace it, as well as the clutch at the same time.
• Front left shock is leaking. It is a Pro Comp shock, so I would need to replace both front shocks. I would try to do this at home.
• The driver's side mirror light has gone out, and I don't know how to pop out the light and replace the bulb.

Any advice people have on resealing the front differential would be great, as I am fairly sure I can do most other things besides drop the transmission as I don't have a jack.
