I am sorry, but there are no specific instructions for your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, but I can give you a parts list and a brief outline of what to do to install them. I will start at the rear of the vehicle and work forward.
If you do not already have a 4 pole trailer connector, you will need to add one of those first. There is a custom fit T-One harness available for your FJ Cruiser. It is part # 118405, and I have included a link to the instructions for this part.

Usually when you have a boat trailer with a 5 pole connector the trailer has hydraulic surge brakes and not electric brakes and you would not use a brake controller. The additional blue wire is for a reverse lockout on your hydraulic surge brakes to deactivate them while the tow vehicle is in reverse.
If your boat trailer is the only trailer you plan on towing then you will want to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 pole trailer connector, part # 118405, and you will want... view full answer...
There is no custom wiring for the FJ Cruiser that plugs in under the dashboard for a brake controller. To install a brake controller you would need to run wires from the 7-way connector. If you have no wiring on the vehicle now we recommend the appropriate flat four pole harness part # 118248 for an FJ with tow package or part # 118405 for an FJ without tow package.
Once you have the 4-Way in operation, you can convert it to a 7-Way using part # ETBC7. You will then attach the red wire... view full answer...
The Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305 is intended for use with a low-pressure propane source. It includes a knob for gas flow regulation much like a standard home gas grill does.
It is not uncommon for a very full propane tank to output more pressure than it does when its propane level has dropped even slightly. If the source you are using is a very full tank you might keep using the grill until the tank's pressure has dropped. I know that my home gas grill... view full answer...
When wiring the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D along with connectors # PK12801 and # PK12800 you will want to ground to the tow vehicle chassis. The linked instructions specifically state that "all ground points must be connected to chassis earth". You can see this in the diagram I've added for you to take a look at. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Camco who said that the Big Red Portable Gas Campfire # CAM58035 is only compatible with an auxiliary propane tank and should not be connected to your low pressure propane connection from your trailer.
The Campco Big Red Portable Campfire, part # CAM58035 is designed to work with a propane source like a 20 lb portable tank. There is an in-line regulator with this fire pit that makes sure a safe pressure level is maintained when using the fire pit, so if you have... view full answer...
To power the Prodigy RF Brake Controller, part # TK94FR, it is only necessary to connect the 12 volt power wire (black) and ground wire (white) on your 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter, part # 37185, in the # ETBC7 kit, on your 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The remaining wires can be tied off.
You also have the option to connect the auxiliary wire (purple) if you need to power backup lights or another accessory on your trailer.
To prepare the adapter to hook up the brake controller, you will attach... view full answer...
You're on the ball! That's exactly what you need.
The Prodigy P3, part # 90195 is an excellent controller that's easy to use and very user-friendly. The # ETBC7 includes an adapter that will convert your 4-pole to a 7-way. The kit also includes all the wire, hardware and circuit breakers you'll need.
I'll link you to some FAQ articles and installation videos that you might find helpful. These resources will walk you through the install, step by step. view full answer...
According to what I was able to find in my research, the towing capacity for the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser is 5000-lbs, so you are able to tow a 3000-lb boat without any issue. With that being said, you should always consult your owner's manual to confirm this towing capacity.
When towing a load that is more than 1/2 of the total weight on your tow vehicle, it's usually a good idea to tow with a weight distribution hitch. This is going to help distribute the weight more evenly across the... view full answer...
Yes, you can use the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR on a vehicle that has an in-cab brake controller installed but you will need to remove the blue brake output wire from behind the 7-way or unplug the brake controller before attaching the trailer. The 12 volt pin will also need to be active on your friends 7-way in order for this to work. If it is not then you will need part # 10-1-1 (per foot) and part # 9510. view full answer...
If your 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser came with or already had a 4-Way flat trailer connector that you plugged into the back of # ETBC7 then you will not need a converter. But if the vehicle did not have a trailer connector of any kind and you are trying to install the ETBC7, you will need to first install a 4-Way using # 118405.
I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation for you. view full answer...
Sure, you can definitely use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 31367, to mount a winch on the front of your 2008 Toyota FJ. Just keep in mind the weight capacities of the hitch and winch in comparison with the weights you will be pulling. The hitch has a 9,000 lb vertical line pull capacity.
I have also included a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a 2008 FJ. view full answer...
For a brake controller, I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. The P2 is our best selling controller, because it is so easy to set up and use.
To install the controller on your 2007 FJ, you would need the Brake Controller Install Kit, # ETBC7. The kit contains everything needed to install a controller, including the trailer connector, circuit breakers, wire and hardware, even the zip ties.

I contacted Roadmaster and Item # 1183-1 is not compatible with the aftermarket bumper you have on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Your photo shows your after market bumper has shackle mounts. I would contact the manufacturer and see if the bumper can be used for flat towing. If so I recommend going with Item # RM-520 and Item # RM-035-1 if the shackle mounts are 1" thick and Item # RM-035 if the shackle mounts are 3/4" thick.

If you are getting a trans warning light on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser then that would be something more like low fluid or a leak and not necessarily the temperature.
The Derale Temperature Gauge Kit # D13009 requires that a hole be drilled into the pan but the Derale Remote Transmission Filter Kit w/ Temperature Gauge # D13091 will help you avoid drilling into the pan since the temperature gauge installs on the remote mounting bracket.
Either way, if you don't typically work on vehicles... view full answer...
The Toyota stoplight wire color is normally green with a white tracer, but you would need to test to confirm whether this is correct for your 2007 FJ Cruiser.
Locate your stoplight switch and use a circuit tester on the wires that come out of it. The wire you are looking for will get power when the brake pedal is pressed, but will not have a power reading when the pedal is released. Connect the red wire from the P2 brake controller to this wire.

The Curt Mobile Echo # C51180 brake controller only requires a fully functional 7-way installed on the vehicle to work. The wiring diagram you mentioned would be for a vehicle that didn't have a wired up 7-way currently. view full answer...
There are going to be drawbacks in selecting the wrong weight distribution system unit; and the measurement that matters is tongue weight instead of total capacity. The Fastway # FA92-00-0600 may work for you, but in order to choose the best weight distribution system, you will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Written instructions do not come with the Fulton Replacement Pull Pin Kit for Fulton F2 Swing-Up Jacks, part # F500136. I also checked the Fulton website and no instructions are offered for this particular replacement part.
However I did pull a Fulton F2 jack from inventory to illustrate the position of the replacement pin, spring and retainer clip as installed. Please refer to the attached photo. This provides a view from the rear of the bolt-on coupler plate; an arrow indicates the... view full answer...
I recommend putting a tester on the 5 o'clock pin of your 7 way connector on your FJ Cruiser. This is the brake controller pin. Hit the manual override and see what your readings are. The Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # C24VV is a proportional controller so only the manual override can be tested accurately when still using a multimeter like # PT89ZR.
