  • Engine Oil and Transmission Fluid Cooler for a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Derale remote transmission/engine oil cooler # D15220 is a great choice for your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. No adapters are needed for the transmission cooling part except for # D13004. 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).

  • 2011 FJ Cruiser Transmission Cooler Recommendation
  • The length of hose that comes with the Derale transmission coolers like part # D12902 is 10 feet. That is usually adequate for most vehicles, but on a larger SUV like your 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser a long hose like part # D13017 could be needed. In most cases the line needed can be pretty short since typically the fittings and lines that get removed and used are all right near the radiator. Typically you don't need a long section of hose unless you are going from the transmission all the...

  • Using a Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier on a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser with Factory Roof Rack
  • I will be happy to help you out. The Thule Hullavator kayak carrier, # TH898, needs to be mounted on crossbars that extend beyond the side rails or foot pack. It will not fit any other way. So to add compatible crossbars to your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser that has factory crossbars you can use the Thule rack using parts # TH712400 and # TH710401. These bars mount to the side rails and also include locks to deter theft. Enough of the bars will be sticking out each end to use the Hullavator. Another...

  • Roof Rack for 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser to Carry Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier
  • For your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser that has factory raised side rails you'd need a set of crossbars that extend past the feet of the rack like the Malone AirFlow 2 rack part # MPG216 which is a fit for your vehicle and would work great with the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 that you mentioned.

  • Roof Rack Recommendations That Use Fixed Mounting Points On 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • We have a couple options for a roof rack on your 2011 FJ Cruiser that uses the fixed mounting points. The first roof rack I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack. This system features black, aluminum aerodynamic crossbars with Vortex strips in the C-channels to help reduce wind noise. The custom leg kit and adapters install in the OEM mounting points on your roof you said you have for a clean custom look. The weight capacity for the roof rack is 165-lbs but you want to make sure...

  • Easiest to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller for a 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Yes, we have a 7-way trailer wiring harness for you that uses the existing 4-way trailer connector and we have a brake controller that does not require you to splice into the stop light switch circuit. For this, I recommend using the Curt Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # C57186 along with the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180. The Curt Universal Installation Kit will plug into the 4-way you have now as mentioned above and the only other...

  • Weight Distribution with Sway Control for a 3,500 Pound Trailer and 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • For your trailer with up to 500 pounds tongue weight you can use a system that is rated for 200 to 600 pounds tongue weight. But first, when calculating tongue weight you go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If that puts you under 600 pounds still then I recommend # RP66082. This is the same system that you referenced, # RP66072, but it comes with a shank whereas RP66072 does not....

  • Will Swagman Original Bike Rack Fit 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • The Swagman Original bike rack part # S64400 that you referenced will fit your 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser and clear the rear spare of the vehicle as long as you have a hitch installed like the # 75461 which is a 2 inch hitch confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. You could also look at the 3 bike rack to this is the Swagman Original part # S64152-2 .

  • Universal Towing Mirror Recommendations for a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • For mirrors that are much taller than normal mirrors like those on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, I recommend going with a door mount mirror, # 11650. The door mount is going to give you the best performance and vision. I have linked a video showing a typical installation for you.

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a pretty unique mirror shape so to install tow mirrors you'll need to use a door mount style like the part # 11650-2 as nothing we offer would be able to attach directly to the mirrors that you have. Door mirrors are super stable and adjustable though so you'll really like this kit. I attached a review video for more info on them as well.

  • 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,...

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • To add a 7-Way trailer connector and brake controller to your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser there are a few parts you will need. First, if the FJ does not have any sort of trailer connector already you will start by adding a 4-Way flat connector, # 118405. If it already has a 4-Way skip to the next paragraph. Once the 4-Way is installed you will then need # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way and wiring/accessories to make the 7-Way active and install a brake controller. I have included some links that show...

  • Can Thule T2 Bike Rack be Extended to Clear Spare Tire on 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • I don't know how much space additional length you need but the shortest option is reducer sleeve # HT02 which will give you 3 additional inches beyond the hitch pin hole on the hitch on your 2015 Toyota FJ Cruiser. So on the T2 Classic # TH9045 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on the hitch to the nearest part of the rack when folded will be 6-1/2 inches. The next shortest is # 80300 which adds another 7 inches. If you are able to use adapter # HT02 it will not reduce...

  • Low-Profile Roof Rack Crossbars for a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser with Factory Roof Rack
  • Thule shows the SnowPack ski carrier # TH7325 as a fit to the factory crossbars on your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser so its strange that it isn't working. Before going through the expense of alternate bars first make sure that the straps on the carrier are all the way out. There might be a little slack left over to work with. If it still doesn't work then the most low-profile bars that will fit the vehicle are the AeroBlade Edge bars, # TH7502-TH7503 for silver or # TH7502B-TH7503B for black...

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Cargo Basket For 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Without Roof Rails
  • For your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, you will need a roof rack for a rooftop cargo basket. For this roof rack, I recommend the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points - Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRVP25. This will fit to the OEM fixed mounting points on your FJ like what you see in the Highlander in the attached video. This will mean the suicide doors will not be an issue. Once you have this system, you can add a cargo basket or box. I've attached a video and added a link to all...

  • 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...
