  • For screws to attach the part # HTP24BK to your horse trailer we recommend the part # PS-8. These screws are 3/4 of an inch long so I would go with a plywood thickness of at least 1/2 of an inch.

  • Universal Trailer Towing Mirror Recommendations for a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • The CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror (Qty. 1), # 11650 installs easily and fits most vehicles, and should be a good fit for your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I have included a link to a video review featuring this mirror below. I have tested this mirror along with several of the other universal towing mirrors that we carry and have found that the door mount mirrors offer the best, most stable, view when driving at highway speeds.

  • Height of a Spare Tire Bike Rack on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • The Yakima SpareRide, part # Y02599 will have its hanging rack sitting above or in line with the spare tire's top. On the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, this is pretty high off the ground. Instead, I'd recommend a platform style rack like the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B. This will sit significantly lower on the vehicle, allowing for an easier load onto the bike rack. It also includes integrated rack and bike locks for added security. I've included a video of the trailer hitch version of the...

  • Should I Use a Brake Controller for a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Towing a 2700 Pound Pop-Up Camper
  • I would recommend you go with the brake controller, especially since you plan on traveling in the mountains. Having operable brakes on your trailer will save wear on the vehicle by providing some of the braking force. I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. Its ease of set-up and use help make it our most popular brake controller. If you are fairly handy and have a passing familiarity with basic wiring, you should be able to accomplish the installation yourself. We have...

  • Installing Brake Controller And 7-Way Connector On 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, part # 90195 will work well with your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Since there is no plug-in for the brake controller under the dash on your vehicle you will need to hardwire the brake controller. I have attached an installation video that shows how the wiring is done you can take a look at. You will need a 7-way connector at the back. for this I recommend part # ETBC7. The 4 pole connector on this kit will connect to the 4 pole on your FJ cruiser,...

  • Recommended Spare Tire Cover for 265/70R17 Goodyear on Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • The 265/70R17 spare tire on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser has an overall diameter of exactly 31.6", so for a cover that will work great I highly recommend the Classic Accessories # 052963753875. This is designed specifically for 30" to 33" spare tires and the elasticized back hem with quick connect clips allow for a quick and adjustable (snug) fit.

  • SUP Paddleboard Carrier Recommendation for 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • SUPs are usually pretty long. The Carpod part # M2205-2201 isn't going to be long enough to fit the length of a SUP like what you have. You are going to have to look into a roof rack mounted SUP carrier like the SUP Taxi part # TH810001 which is a fit for the factory crossbars of your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

This bike rack can accommodate up to 5" tire widths, as well as up to 80 lbs. per bike. You will want to mount each ebike with the battery removed, while you have these loaded on the rack on the back of your vehicle.

  • Adapter Recommendation for a FJ Cruiser with a 4-Way Towing a Trailer with a 7-Way

A better choice might be the # 37185. This comes with a mounting bracket and a 4-way on the side of the 7-way as well. Either adapter will allow to tow your trailer and all of the taillight functions will work properly.

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement for a 2011 Toyota FJ-Cruiser Trail Edition
  • Adding suspension enhancement like Timbrens will help with sag and increase stability and ride quality. If your 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser is a 4-wheel drive model, for the front you can use # TTOFTAC4A that you have referenced. There is no option for the front if it is a 2-wheel drive model. For the rear if it is 2- or 4-wheel drive use # TTORSEQ. I have included links to the instructions for both sets for you to view. I have also included a link to our FAQ article on Timbren suspension enhancemen...

  • Brake Controller And Wiring Harness Recommendation For 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • The brake controller I recommend for your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. This is one of our most popular brake controllers because it is easy to install and use. You said your Cruiser was equipped with a factory tow package. This can have several different meanings, depending on the vehicle manufacturer. Some vehicles come with the 7-way harness, some have a 4-way harness, and some vehicles with the tow package have the drive train or transmission upgraded...

For the oil cooler part you will need installation kit # D15751. You may need to use a shorter oil filter which in this case Wix filter 51381 is the shortest one that is compatible (3.14 inches tall).

  • Towing Capacity and Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and the 2016 Micro Minnie 2106FBS can weigh as much as 7,000 pounds when fully loaded so I can't recommend towing this with your vehicle. You will want to look for a camper that's a bit lighter and within the FJ Cruiser's limits. When you do choose an appropriate trailer you will need to add a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball combo to the vehicle in order to tow it. Starting with the hitch I recommend...

  • Hitch, Weight Distribution System, Sway Control, Brake Controller, Wiring for 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Weight Distribution is a good idea if you are pulling at least 50 percent of your vehicles weight. Many good WD systems come with sway control, too, so we will look at those. First, you will need a hitch. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13367, which is a custom fit item for your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, unless your FJ is equipped with the auxiliary fuel tank. The hitch will bolt to the frame and this one will install in about 30 minutes. I have included a link to the instructions...

  • Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler Recommendations for a 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • If you are not a fan of the tube-fin design then I would go with separate coolers using a plate-fin design. For a transmission cooler, the most popular one for a 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser is Derale cooler # D13503. I have included a link to all of the recommended plate-fin coolers for your vehicle. For an engine oil cooler, a stacked plate design, like # D15651, will take up the least space. This cooler has 3/4-16 filter threads and 2-3/4 inch o-ring which is what should be on your FJ. I...

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for the Thule Hullavator # TH898 on a 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser w/Bare Roof
  • The absolute best option to mount a Thule Hullavator # TH898 onto your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser is by using Inno Square Crossbars. The length of the Inno Square crossbars you need depends on the measurement between the top of your driver's-side door surface to the top of your passenger's-side door surface. This is where the Inno Feet # INSUT mount onto your roof to hold up the crossbars. For example, for the Inno Square 50" Crossbars # INB127 to be the correct size for the Hullavator to...
