• How Do I Set up a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser with a 7-Way and a Brake Controller
• I am not aware of a conversion kit that would be necessary for your FJ Cruiser. All you should need is the appropriate brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 part # 90885, and the install kit, part # ETBC7. If your vehicle does not already have a 4 way trailer connector, you will need a T-1 Harness, part # 118405, the one you were looking at. The T-1 connector would tap into your lighting circuits to provide lighting for your trailer. We also have a very good two part...

• Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser
• From what I see, there is no plug in wiring harness for a brake controller available for a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser. That does not necessarily mean that there is not factory connector available and a local dealer will be able to tell you more. From what we have seen, you will need to hardwire in a brake controller. You will first need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # 118405. Then, you will need to install a 4 and 7-Way installation kit, # ETBC7. I have included links to the installation...

• Need Brake Flange For Adding Brakes to Homemade Trailer
• Since your hubs are for 5200-lb axles and you've confirmed that you do have a 3" diameter axle, you'll need the Redline 5 Bolt Flange # 4-44-1 . You should know, if you don't already, that brake flanges need to be welded perfectly concentric. For that reason we generally recommend that the work be done by an experienced trailer shop that has the required jig. To add brakes to your axles you'll need a couple additional parts- brakes and a hub and drum assembly. For brakes I recommend the...

• Adding a 7-Way and Redarc Brake Controller to a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser with 4-Way Flat Connector
• Since you will be using the 4- and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7 to add a 7-Way to your 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser you will not need to get circuit breaker kit # 331-CBK30-EB. The ETBC7 kit comes with a 30 amp circuit breaker, wiring, and other accessories. Since your FJ already has a 4-Way flat connector you will just need # ETBC7 and the brake controller # RED44FR. I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation for you.

• Can etrailer 2-in-1 Exterior Windshield Cover be Used for Protection While Flat Towing
• You can try using the etrailer 2-in-1 Exterior Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover # e98899 while flat towing your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser but it's designed for a vehicle that is sitting still so we can't really speak to how it will hold up to highway winds. We actually have protectors that not only help protect the windshield but also the front of the vehicle in general, like the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4700. If you let me know what tow bar and base plate kit you...

• Back Up Camera For A 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
• Though we have options for a back up camera for your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser we will not have a third light camera for your Cruiser. So the Rear View Safety Third Brake Light with Camera # RVS-1016 will not work.

A cool feature of this back up camera is that the...

• Converting a 4-Way Trailer Connector to a 7-Way on a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
• The # 30717 is exactly what you're looking for as long as you don't need the 7-way to supply anything other than lights on the trailer. You just plug the 4-ways together, connect the white ground wire to the vehicle's frame using the included screw, and cap off the other wires.
