    Tranny temp gauge

    Has anyone come across a good fit for a tranny temp gauge for the FJ Cruiser? If so which one, and where did you mount it? How difficult was the install? Thanks Dog

    6 speed vs Auto - What's the real difference?

    Why would you want to drive in 4HI on dry pavement? This is a semi hi profile vehicle so any cornering advantage you might have with all wheel drive is nagated with the hi profile. this is not a sports car, so for the auto verse manual question I think it boils down to what is the majority of...

    Plan to Tow a '47 Willis (Jeep) from LR to Utah

    Thats right! U-haul is notorious for rules on what they will let you tow. I have used there trailers many times, and I am always towing a vw bug with no engine or tranny. Just remember to give yourself some extra time to stop and increase your following distance. With all the good advice on...

    Wife's Ride...LC Jr (FJ), Wrangler 4dr or Xtera Off Road?

    Sorry I had to chime in! You already have a 4x4, why not try something sporty... like a suburu wrx sti. I just drove my buddies and now I no why I do not own a sports car. If money is not a problem go for a porsche 911 or if you still need a quasi sport ute go caymen. Do not get me wrong, I...

    Wyoming guy hoping to get an FJ next week.

    Congrates on your new toy. A good buddy of mine who likes to anything off road had mixed feelings when I told him that I got an fj. But after wheeling with him and his disco with a two inch lift and some all terrains was very impressed. He is a mechanical engineer and like to push vehicles to...

    Transmission replaced yet (a/t)?

    I have noticed that after I come to rather abrupt stop, the tranny takes about three seconds to finally downshift into first. At this time you can feel the rig surge foward alittle. Anyone else experience this yet?

    extra towing equiptment

    Here in California, if a trailer is over 3,000 lbs you are supposed to have trailer brakes. I believe this is fairly new legislation. Also if you are pulling an airstream trailer you might double check the weight when loaded. Water, food personal items etc. I would think you will be at or past...

    backed into a car, spare tire problem

    I never have had a problem. Maybe because there is a back up sensor and a little thing called mirrors. sorry if this seems callas but I have not patients for incompitence, especially when it faults lack of vision when it is really human error. Dog

    6 speed vs Auto - What's the real difference?

    Also take into account what the primary use of this vehicle is going to be used for and where. I choose the auto for the simple reason that I live in socal and had no daily use for ft4x4. The extra wear and tear due to constant use on dry pavement/concrete did not way kindly to a ft4x4 vehicle...

    Roof Rack

    A friend of mine bought one on e-bay. He is handicapped and in a wheel chair, when he went to pick it up and the guy he bought it from put it on his fj. It took him about twenty minutes. The holes and bolts are already there I believe. If not make sure you get the bolts, I know for a fact that...

I wanted to keep everything as tight as possible for clearence reasons as well as asthetics. Are these...

    WHere is a good place to do mild 4X4 @ Big Bear?

    I just got back from Big bear! I went over to fawnskin, take the main road and pass on the right hand side of the fire station. It looks like a one rig station. The road leads to some camp grounds. Then it turns into dirt, about 3/4 mile up you will see a trail on the right. Take it up and...

    I have done some wheeling in my life. My last true 4x4 was a 69 fj40 chevy 350 four wheel disc. power steering with a rear locker and front arb locker. Having locker's front and rear made a huge difference in wheeling capability. My fj cruiser has the rear locker and ATRAC. I noticed the...
