I was in Texas on business last week and damn near wrecked my rental (Checy Trailblazer, yuck!) craning my neck as I passed a desert sand color FJ in traffic. Looked great!
I thought I had the record until I read DanGood's. 15 months and I am at 43k+ MIleage seems to be a little better but I am also trying to curb my speed a little, keeping it right at 70 on the interstate seems to help.
I have used mine as a daily driver since I bought in a little over a year ago. In December I changed jobs that requires me to use it as my work vehicle as well. Thanks god my company reimburses at a very generous mileage rate, when I started the job I was right at 8k miles. As of the end of...
Leather Update
Well, I have had the leather seats in my FJ for about 4 months now. The seats are black leather I have not experienced a "hot" problem wike I th them, and bear in mind that we are talking about central and south Florida during the months on May, June, July and August. Nor have...
If anybody thinks it might be fun to get a bunch of FJC's together at a Hooter's, Winghouse or similar joint in central or south fl one night, let me know.
Leather
My mistake on the leather in TRD's being factory, however, I found my cloth seats wearing quickly, especially on th left side bolster, presumably from cell phone or leatherman case rubbing it as I exited. It was wearing to the point that I put denim seat covers over the seat to reduce...
I took my cruiser to the stealership today for the 25k mile service. While I was waiting I was eyespying a new one on the lot with dealer installed leather seats. The leather seemed to be thicker and better quality than the factory leather on the TRD SE model. Long story short.....I am...
I have a small vertical crack, maybe 1/4" just beneath the passenger wiper blade, but I am thinking I caught a stone while driving on the interstate. With the vertical windshield I swear that the damn thing is going to bust out when a big bug strikes it at 80mph, lol.
Black Out
Well, the used factory skid plate that I ordered arrived. It was a little greasy from the uninstall but after clean-up looked brand new. It's installed now and I think it looks good. Has anyone else noticed a significant reduction in road noise after installing a front skid plate...
I like the look of the TRD black roof....I went to the local body shop that the stealership uses for it's repairs to get a quote on painting my roof to match..........sit down.......$3500, stating that they essentially needed to paint the whole vehicle to make the paint blend...
No Wiring
I guess I have the anomoly of the group. I have a 4WD FJ with the rear locker, but when I popped out the dummy switch plates there is no wiring in place for the A Trac or the bass switch. I got my FJ in May of last year....anyone have any thoughts?
I have a set of 17" BBS brushed chrome rims, 6 lug pattern that came on my FJ from the factory. Less than 5000 miles on them. Retail is $1700 for the set. I will take $800 plus shipping. Located in FL.
I actually went to the dealer today and purchased the factory roof rack. It was lightweight and a piece of cake to install. From start to finish was about 30 minutes and improved the look greatly. My FJ is finally coming together.
Has anyone bought/installed the factory brush guard? Are there any pdf format instructions online anywhere. I have seen pics of the factory one but not sure how it is secured.
I have had my FJC for about 6 months now. I got the upgraded package with BBS Rims and Pirelli Tires....the Duelers are horrible. I have replaced the BBS rims with some powder coated black ones from Moto Metal. I added Predator step rails and Sirius radio. I was going to purchase and install...
I just switched out the BBS wheels that came with my FJ for a set of MotMetals. I was getting wheel shake from 50 thru70mph. One of the tires was using about 8 ounces of weight to balance. The tire shop deflated that tire and re-indexed it on the rim, then rebalanced with 3 ounces, and that...
