Expert Answers about Toyota FJ Cruiser


  • Derale Engine Oil Cooler for 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4x4
  • Yes, you can use Derale Oil Cooler kit # D15602 in your FJ Cruiser. A supplementary oil cooler like the Derale # D15602 is a great way to keep your engine oil temperature in the ideal 180 to 200-degree Fahrenheit range. This Class III cooler kit includes a sandwich adapter and a range of sleeve nuts to ensure a proper match to the threads on your oil filter landing (where your oil filter currently mounts). The best place to mount the cooler core is in front of your AC condenser where...

  • Removing Global Door Lock Cylinder - No Original Key
  • You can always call a lock smith but that is not cheap. I would not try to force them to turn as you could damage the reminder of the latch housing. You will have to drill them out. Start with a small bit, like a 1/8, and work your way up to a 1/4 inch or 5/16. Eventually you'll remove enough of the cylinder that you can get the lock open. Do not drill very deep as you still need the structure that supports the new lock cylinder. If in the worst case you end up damaging the latch then...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller on a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Absolutely! It sounds like you already know what you need but are looking for the easiest to install products that have the best value. For a 4-way, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118405. The installation process for this harness will be the same as the other options we have for you but we find that Tekonsha brand wiring products tend to be the most reliable which is why I recommend this for you. For a 4 to 7-way adapter with both 4 and 7-way trailer connection points,...

  • Will Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Work On 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser With 3-Inch Lift
  • I called my contact at Firestone about your 2009 FJ Cruiser with the three-inch lift. They told me if you have changed out the factory springs to a different spring that has a different diameter then they will need the inside diameter of the spring with the vehicle weight on the springs. This will tell them what size bag should be ordered with the # F4135 Ride-Rite kit. If you did not change out the coil springs then the # F4135 kit will work for your vehicle.

  • Can the Tekonsha Prodigy RF be Used on a Vehicle with In-Cab Brake Controller
  • 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.

  • Does the 36" x 30" Right Line Gear Sport Jr. Fit on 2014 FJ Cruiser
  • Yes the Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 10 cu ft - 36" x 30" x 16" part # RL100S50 will attach to your cross bars in any orientation. The reason for the typical installation being with the wolf forward is because it zips on the other three sides. By turning it 90 degrees you will make it slightly more susceptible to moisture creeping into the zipper portion of it that faces forward. It has a nice large storm flap that comes down and covers it but with the force...

  • Will Thule T2 Bike Rack Clear Rear Spare of 2008 FJ Cruiser
  • The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV will not clear the rear spare tire of your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. When we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 75461 on a 2008 FJ it had a distance of 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside of the spare tire. The # TH83JV has 7 inches from it's pin hole to the nearest wheel tray so it will not fit. We do have a platform bike that will clear while in use, but not when it is folded. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes -...

  • Will Swagman XTC 2 Hold Fat Bikes and Clear Spare Tire on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • First, the Swagman XTC 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670 is not compatible with fat bikes. It accepts tires up to 2.5 inches wide but not to worry because there are many other options that will work with fat bikes. The Saris Freedom # SA4412B-FB is the fat bike version of the Freedom. It will accept tires up to 5 inches wide. To determine if it will clear the spare on the back of your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser there is one measurement needed. On the hitch measure from the center of the hitch...

  • Is Item # 1183-1 Compatible With An After Market Bumper On A 2007 FJ Cruiser
  • 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. The D-Ring adapters replace the tabs on the end of each arm on...

  • Roof Rack For Roof Top Tent On A 2007 FJ Cruiser
  • Since your roof rack on your 2007 FJ Cruiser is rather large compared to others, I recommend getting the Yakima HD Crossbars # Y01157 with these feet # Y33TR. They wrap around your factory roof rails and will ensure a tight fit. You'll need these adapters # Y03541 for the feet to connect properly to the HD bars. This is the strongest bar setup and is the best for a Roof Top Tent Setup. Since you have a roof rack, you won't be able to get a platform on your roof and these HD bars are built...

  • Will Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack TH9058 Work With Curt 8" Hitch Extender C45791?
  • The hitch pin holes in the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # C45791 you were looking at are 5/8" and are not threaded. The M12x1.75 Anti-Rattle Bolt included with your Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Steel # TH9058 will fit through the 5/8" hole and threads into the bike rack itself so the extender does not need to be threaded. This combination will work perfectly together and give you the additional clearance you are looking for. Keep...

  • Does Lockrack Watersport Carrier # 339-LRUNISETX Fit OEM Crossbars of 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Yes the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # 339-LRUNISETX that you referenced does fit the OEM crossbars you have on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Shorter arms are not available separately either but the good news is you can use this to carry a single board and it would still work fine.

  • How Long Is The Shank On Tow Ready Pintle Hook Mount
  • I have attached a photo of the Tow Ready Pintle Hook Mount, part # 63059 with several measurements noted. As the photo shows, the length of the shank from the end to the front face of the plate is 14-5/8 inches. The plate is 5/8 inches thick so the shank measures 14 inches from the end to the back of the plate. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front of the plate is 11-3/8 inches. The distance from the pin hole to the start of the angled bracket is 7-3/4 inches.

  • Locating Ground Wire in Tow Package Wiring Harness of 2009 Lexus RX350
  • You can simply ground that white wire to clean metal on the vehicle frame. This will complete the ground circuit, as the negative battery terminal is grounded to the frame or chassis. It's possible the white wire is located further up in the wiring harness so you can remove some of the wire loom and locate it, but grounding the white wire to the vehicle should work just fine for you. If you click the link I provided, you can see the # 18002 being installed on a 2007 RX350.

  • Would Swagman Bike Rack S63400 Fit a Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Yes, the Swagman Bike Rack part #S63400 should clear your rear spare tire. When we installed the Draw Tite hitch part # 75461 on a 2007 FJ Cruiser like yours we found that there was a distance of 8-1/2 inches from the pin hole out to the furthest point out on the spare. The Swagman bike rack has 11-1/4 inches from it's pin hole to the lower part of the rack and 14-1/2" to the upright mast of the rack so it should clear with room to spare. You would need to double check this measurement...
