    Wiring FJ Cruiser switch to High Beam Circuit

    Hey everyone, I have 4 6in KC Driving lights mounted on my Defiant Light Bar, and had them wired independent of any headlight circuit. Well, a few days ago I was driving out to the lake and was pulled over by a sheriff that saw me switch them off after I had switched down to my low beams. He...

    Can't remove bolt for A/C controlls

    Part 1A of removal says "Remove the Screw." That is the screw I'm talking about.

    Can't remove bolt for A/C controlls

    Hey everyone, I have been surfing the forum for awhile, and I am so thankful to have people like you that are willing to share their knowledge. I was trying to remove my center dash the other day. After removing the pop-out storage thing below the A/C controls, I tried to remove the screw...

    Tire recommendations for a 2006 Limited

    I actually had to get new tires recently. I'm surprised the ones that were on it when I bought it lasted this long! 04 SR5 V8 with 52,500 mi. Being a poor college student and only having my GI Bill as income, I didn't have a lot of money to spend haha, so I decided to go with the Falken Rocky...

    What have you had to replace

    I was driving back from Dallas this weekend, about 150 miles, and right as I pull into the driveway I hit 50,000mi on the dot! Other than oil filters and wiper blades, I haven't had to replace anything on my '04 SR5 V8.

    About to buy an '05 Limited, but...

    1) What does the amber light look like? IIRC the MAINT light still says MAINT on all 4th gens. The only other amber dash lights I know of that it might be are the CEL, the tire pressure light, VSC, TRAC, etc. 2)Was the creak coming from the transmission or from somewhere else. I know sometimes...

    tint ticket

    He may not have been driving reckless/speeding/etc., but IF his tint is too dark, then he IS breaking the law, regardless of how stupid we all may believe the law is. I am not, nor have I ever been a police officer, but I am and have been friends with those that are. The law is the law, and cops...

    tint ticket

    :bravo: I couldn't agree more. It seems like everyone always blames the cops for everything, but the truth is, if you weren't speeding, driving reckless/drunk, or otherwise breaking the law (regardless of how stupid you think the law may be, it is STILL the law, and if you don't like it, call...

    tint ticket

    Did he just give you a fix-it ticket, or an actual violation? Also, IIRC in order to actually give you a ticket, they have to use one of those laser checker devices, or at least they do here in TX.

    Maintenance light on

    So the humidity controlled dark room I built was a waste of money?! :dammit:

    Heated Seat Thermostat switch lights.

    IIRC it is a bulb, You'll need to pull the center console to get to it.

    What grill is this?

    I too thought the OP was referring to that beautiful piece of ShrockWorks engineering. It is definitely custom. IIRC Toyota stopped using the name on the grill, with the exception of the FJC quite awhile ago, and switched to the logo.

    LOOOONG Road trip Gas Mileage Experiment

    No problem. Those online calculators are pretty good, just make sure (this is mostly for everyone else that might read this) that you get the initial(Stock) and final(new) tire sizes in the right order, as mixing them up will change the % differential.

    LOOOONG Road trip Gas Mileage Experiment

    Sparky: I'm assuming your Sport has the 17" wheels, and if so you have 265/65/17 stock. 265mm*65%*2 = 344.5mm = ~13.55 in pi*(13.55in + 17in) = ~95.99in tire circumference With your new 265/70/17 you get: 265mm*70%*2 = 371mm = ~14.61 in pi*(14.61in + 17in) = ~99.29in tire circumference...

    How long do brakes last?

    Your saying that the "nubs" on all 8 pads failed simultaneously? I find that hard to believe.
