Been a while, thought I would try to catch up. I cut the front clip with a pneumatic cutter. There are enough remaining mounting points for the upper half of the clip to remain firmly affixed. I mounted small aftermarket ( auto parts store) LED markers directly to the headlight lens. Not...

Thumbs up on this, even though I've pulled the trigger on my bumper. I think this was a good idea on the FJ and a good idea on the T4R. Great for casual off roaders, getting to the hunting cabin, snow areas, and just piece of mind on the road. So I am not signing up, but still say thumbs up...

I am from Richardson....sixth circle of hell. Guy asks 3 simple questions....I just wasted 10 minutes of life. :snacker:

We learned FJCruisers are being introduced in Japan and Australia markets for 2011. My opinion is that this means at least 3-4 years more production for the FJC. Since production is there, I expect the USA market will stay open as long as there is demand.( my opinion only). Short answer, I...

Tanks are rated for terrestrial temps. If ya plan on wheeling on say, sunny side of Mercury, I would consider a topping off your A/C coolant. :biggrin2: Tank is fine in Texas parking lot, sealed up, killer heat....

I am also from Dallas. Pretty notorious for my 2WD FJ shenanigans, taking it places I shouldn't and getting strapped up steeps by my 4WD friends with plenty of ribbing. Frankly, I bought the 2WD with little interest in off road sport, but once I had a taste of the fun, i regretted my decision...

I installed a portable CO2 tank made by theSource link provided. Good for air up, air tools and can even power an air locker. I seated a tire that rolled off the rim in Moab. These are good for200lbs pressure will fill dozens of your and your friend's tires. Comes with a bracket I mounted to...

Too bad when threads get humped... :gun5: I appreciate the positive responses. It would have been nice to have a list of questions for NishimuroSan, but it was an FJ event and he just arrived off the jet for dinner. It was quite an honor to speak to him at all. Toyota arranged his attendance...

Mr. Akio Nishimura - Chief Engineer for FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, and 4Runner programs for Toyota Japan attended the 2010 FJSummit last week! He has been the Chief Engineer since the beginning of the FJ program, and also headed up the new 2010 4Runner. As a CoDirector for FJSummit I had the pleasure...

My previous vehicle was a prerunner FJCruiser. I have to say the factory rear diff made a big difference in off road capability. The traction control (LSD) is fine for pavement and snow, but the locker is superior off road. With that experience, I would recommend a rear locker. I think the ARB...

Regarding price, that's for Justin to answer. Note there is a significant amount of front fascia prep for this as well. I rolled the tire off the rim on a drop off a slightly off camber ledge. My fault for not inching down. Just a slight release of the brakes and BAM, time for a spare. And...

Hankook 285 70 17 MT, great grip offroad, quiet onroad, 1 mile per gal penalty. Had them on my FJ as well, great value and tread life. Spare will still fit underneath.

Just took delivery of Rocktek Customz new 5th Gen T4R bumper, I helped with the body work, I will post an extended thread with build up pictures including the facia chop but for now: What better way to show off Justin's fine work than to break it in on Poison Spider, Moab Utah! Thanks...

I agree with the positive experiences of the TE owners above. I traded an FJ for mine and am not looking back. Loved the FJ, and ditto for the T4R TE! Little things like more room, 4-doors, you can see out of the back, center armrest, NAV , lumbar support, more comfortable overall , still a...
