You might want to modify the title of your thread. The first FJ Cruiser was classified as a 2007. There were no '3, '4, '5 or '6 FJ Cruisers. Although, if you are trying to attract attention, it worked!;)
Like I said, we don't have to agree. I'm choosing to go with what the manufacturer of Land Cruisers says rather than what I think it should logically be called. Toyota have the right to use/change whatever nominclature they want. It is their product, not mine or anyone else's. Please read...
Welcome to MUD and congrats on your new FJ.
I have seen pics of a few of these. It is interesting that Toyota(at the dock?) appears to be installing tow hitches that attach to the left and right frame rails instead of the OEM(that bolts to the rear cross member) we are used to seeing.
Of course, we are free to call the FJ Cruiser what we like.
Toyota calls the GSJ15 a Land Cruiser.
The GSJ15 is more fun and safer. Our old 80(like the early 100) was more 'practical' with 4 regular doors, but didn't have the safety features like standard curtain and seat mounted side...
Welcome. You have great taste in color, equipment and residence.
I'm a Chico State grad. I've heard Paradise has changed from the sleepy little village of a few hundred souls in the woods I knew back then.
What I have learned about installing a second horn in a 2011:
1. Fellow FJers are more helpful than the computers in the Toyota Service Dept. or Toyota Parts Dept. Thank you BMthiker and MTbcoach. Thanks also to FJesus on the blue forum. It took awhile, but the little dim bulb in my head...
BMThiker, thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the 2011s may be unique. There is only one wire going to the primary horn. It is thin and grey in color.
The second horn 'kit' I bought has no wires, except for a separate black grounding wire that came with the kit.
The mystery continues.
I had a 2007 and the wiring connection for a second horn was taped(hidden with tape) to the wiring coming out of the firewall lying along the psgr. side fender under the hood. The 2010 also had this feature. However, I have removed all the tape covering the wiring from the firewall forward to...
I do not know who makes the factory monitor or camera.
My 2011 FJ Cruiser came with a factory installed backup camera as part of the optional CQ(convenience package). Toyota calls it an 'integrated backup monitor'. When the vehicle is placed in 'reverse' about a third of the inside rear view...
No, I have not. I actually like the location and it does a good job of covering immediately behind the truck, which is where I can't see using spot mirrors on the outside mirrors and turning around looking over both shoulders.
The camera is not in the cover. I took off the cover and found the...
Our pamperd Honda needed a new transmission at 70K.
At least Toyota designs their's to last 100K.
Our previous Toyota had an extended warranty to 100K.
We traded it at 99K.
Paranoid?
You Betcha!;)
Monniepoo, thanks for the reply. The replacement unit you had installed in your 2007 FJ was probably built/designed for a pre-2011 vehicle. Thus, the color can be changed.
See the following for more details.
Can you change Fjammer color/text in 2011 models? - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum
monniepoo, is your FJ a 2011. Your video has a 9/2010 date. The head unit was changed for 2011.
I have the base unit. When activated it shows an orange background and 'FJ Cruiser'. Don't know how to adjust brightness. It is hard to read in the daylight whereas the clock above the radio...
Hell YES as well! This is our second.
Stock, it is great for moderate wheeling...all we do at the moment. The old one went down Wipe Out Hill without a bump or scrape the first time. It is also very stable feeling compared to our Xterra when driving briskly over rolling, rutted, eroded...
