• Recommended Load-Assist Kayak Carrier for a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser With A Oldtown Sportsman Kayak
• So I went ahead and looked up the specs for your Oldtown Sportsman Kayak and its looking like the weight is around 85-lbs which going to exceed all of the load-assist options like the Malone DownLoader Kayak Roof Rack w/ Lift Assist and Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL. Instead, what's looking like the best option for you is to use the Inno Kayak Lifter Load Assist # INA453.

The P2 and the P3 are very similar in actual technology and operation but the P3 adds some nice features that make it easier to use, such as storable trailer braking power settings and a larger display. Any controller you choose will install in your FJ using our installation kit # ETBC7. This includes all of the parts...

• 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...

• ETBC7 Kit Without the Hopkins 4-Pole to 7-Pole Adapter
• Though there is not a kit with everything but the Hopkins # 37185, we can get you everything you need from the # ETBC7 so you won't have to spend money on a part you don't need. Start with Wiring Kit # 5506, which has 25' of wire, 20-, 30- and 40-amp circuit breakers, butt connectors and ring terminals. You'll also want a pair of Quick Splice Wire Connectors # SWC501746-1, four self-tapping screws # 101131802 and one larger self-tapping screw # FA1131822. Next, you'll need a circuit tester,...

• 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. One of the most popular options for a backup camera would be the Hopkins Smart Hitch # HM50002 which will use a license-plate mount camera and includes a separate display which does not require you to remove the Fj's stock mirror. A cool feature of this back up camera is that 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 2 Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carriers be Used on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
• We do have a few ways to carry your kayaks with your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser but since the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 requires that the roof rack have a weight capacity of 130 lbs and crossbars that hang over the legs by 4" - 8" we unfortunately don't have a setup for you to use the Hullavator Pro. Instead what you can use is the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD which allows you to use the Malone TelosXL Load Assist Module # MPG351XL. This doesn't use gas struts like the Hullavator...

• To avoid using the Roadmaster crossbar piece you can install the Demco Classic base plate kit on your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser and use an adapter to get them to match up.

• Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser
• I have a solution for you, but because of the slightly odd shape of the mirrors on your 2011 FJ Cruiser, the K-Source # KS69ZR aren't a good choice. Instead, I recommend using the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Clamp On - Adjustable Length - Steel # CM11980-2 since they only clamp to the tops of the mirrors, which makes them a much better fit for your FJ. I've seen where other FJ owners have gone to these when they needed towing mirrors and have been very happy; I've also clipped one...

• Best Way to Add 7-Way Connector on 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser for 12V Power to Trailer
• The best solution for your application is to install the Tekonsha T-One # 118405 on your 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser for your standard trailer lights and then add the Wiring Kit # ETBC7L which comes with everything you need to convert the 4-Way to a 4-Way/7-Way and add the 12V function. Please note that as power runs along that line there will be some voltage drop which will likely keep your batteries from charging completely. To help remedy this I recommend using the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC...

• 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...
