- The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller, part # TK94FR will work great for the trailer you want to tow behind your FJ Cruiser.

I have attached a photo that shows which position on the connector this wire is in. You can use part # 10-1-1 to connect to that pin and run it to your positive post on your vehicle battery.

- If your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser does have the factory brake controller wiring connector under the dash, and the power and brake light circuits are active in the connector, and the trailer brake feed circuit is ran to the rear of the vehicle where you can find it, then you most likely would be able to use the Toyota Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, # 3040-P, if the male connector on the FJ is a mate for the female connector on the harness.

- According to the installation instructions for Curt Front Mount Hitch, # 31367, the front skid plate on the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser does not have to be removed at all for hitch installation. I have included a link to the instructions for reference. I have also included a link to a video showing installation on a 2008 model.

- The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 controller, part # 90885 and our Brake Controller Installation Kit, part # ETBC7 are exactly what's needed to install a brake controller on your vehicle.
If your FJ Cruiser already has a functional 4-pole connector, you're all set. There's no need whatsoever to replace the current 4-pole, as long as it's working correctly. This being said, if you already have the adapter to convert your existing 4 pole to a 7-way, I'd recommend getting the # 5506 install kit. This...

The bracket attaches to the hitch crosstube using the included pipe clamp and can be installed coming off the bottom of the crosstube with the mounting bracket from the # ETBC7 kit attached in a downward orientation, or coming off the top of the crosstube in an upward orientation for more ground clearance. If you look at the customer-submitted thumbnail photos on the linked product page, you can see many different mounting options using...

- Sounds like you are looking for help finding where the red wire of the brake controller you are trying to install in your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser needs to run to. This circuit needs to be connected to a circuit that only sees voltage when the brakes are applied.

See attached part 2 install video around the 8:45 second mark.

view full answer... - Testing the Curt Triflex Brake Controller for Power
- I recommend putting a tester on the 5 o'clock pin of your 7 way connector on your FJ Cruiser. This is the brake controller pin. Hit the manual override and see what your readings are. The Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # C24VV is a proportional controller so only the manual override can be tested accurately when still using a multimeter like # PT89ZR.
I've attached a troubleshooting article to assist.

- The Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305 is intended for use with a low-pressure propane source. It includes a knob for gas flow regulation much like a standard home gas grill does.
It is not uncommon for a very full propane tank to output more pressure than it does when its propane level has dropped even slightly. If the source you are using is a very full tank you might keep using the grill until the tank's pressure has dropped. I know that my home gas grill...

- Installing an aftermarket part, like the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole, # C57674, will not void the warranty on your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser unless it is the direct cause of a problem. There is actually a law you can look into called the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless the modification actually caused the problem in question.

- What you will need to go from the 4-Way flat on your Toyota FJ Cruiser to the 5-Way flat on the boat trailer is a 4-Way to 5- Way adapter. You can either use # 20036, or # 47515 (shorter). The 5-Way end of the adapter would plug into the 5-Way on the boat trailer. The other end would plug into the 4-Way on the vehicle. The extra blue wire would need to be connected to the reverse light circuit behind one of the taillights. This circuit is used by the trailer side to engage the electric...

- On the 2008 FJ Cruiser, the access points are going to be behind the taillights. The drivers side is the easiest. There is a small panel in the cargo area that you will remove and the taillight assembly will be right behind it.
The passenger side requires loosening the trim panels on the passenger side cargo area to gain access to the taillight assembly. If your FJ Cruiser has the optional sub-woofer, it will need to be temporarily removed to gain access to the passenger side taillight...
