Expert Answers about Toyota FJ Cruiser


  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Connector for 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • I'd be happy to recommend parts for that. If you wanted to spare some expense on the factory wiring, I'd recommend using the Tekonsha # 118405 wiring harness. The harness plugs inline between the factory wiring harness and the taillight assemblies to establish connection for the taillight signals. The power drawn directly from the battery by running a fused circuit under the vehicle to the engine bay. No relays are necessary. Once you reach that point, since you'll be installing the...

  • Roof Paddleboard Carrier Recommendation for a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • I would recommend the Thule SUP Taxi Carrier part # TH810001 because I checked with Thule and they have confirmed this rack as a fit for your vehicle and because it can easily carry two paddleboards. Check out the review video I attached for more information as well.

  • Would Kuat NV Base 2.0 part # BA22B Clear Rear Spare of 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • The Kuat NV Base 2.0 part # BA22B would have plenty of clearance to fit past the spare of your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It has a distance of 11-3/4 inches from it's hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the rack when folded down. Normally that is enough clearance for every vehicle with the exception of Jeep Wranglers that have large spares on the rear of them but you can measure from the pin hole on your hitch out to the furthest point out on the spare and if you get less than 11-3/4...

  • Weight Distribution for Geo Pro 16bh Travel Trailer
  • The Fastway # FA92-00-0800 is designed for vehicles with tongue weights ranging from 400-800 lbs, so it's perfect for your Geo Pro 16BH. The hitch doesn't include the trailer ball, for a 2 inch ball you'll need part # A-90 or # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch ball. A 1-7/8 inch thin walled socket will be needed to install the trailer ball, if you don't have one or can't borrow one, we offer it as part # EQ70-00-4800. I've linked to a video showing a typical insallation/setup.

  • 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.

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller and Transmission Cooler for 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • If there is already a 4-way connector installed on the 2007 FJ Cruiser to power the trailer's signal lights, you will just need to use the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This will include everything necessary to add a fully functional 7-Way and install a trailer brake controller on your vehicle. I have attached a detailed article on the ETBC7 installation process that you might find helpful. For a trailer brake controller, I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. This is a proportional...

  • Replacement Hardware Kit for Westin Bull Bar/Skid Plate Recommendation for 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • For your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser the correct Westin hardware kit would be the part # 32-221PK since the correct fitting Westin skid plate and bull bar is the part # 32-2210.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your truck. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure 7-3/4 inches tall by 5-1/8 inches wide. I have attached a link to a product review video for you.

  • 6-Pole Extension Recommendation for 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser and 2005 Hunter Fat Shadow Trailer
  • We do have a solution for you, but the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Extension # HM47055 you referenced has female connectors on both ends and is 8 feet in length. If you have a 6-way male connector on your FJ, my recommendation is to replace the connector with the appropriate length of Deka Wire # DW04906-1 and use a Pollak 6-Pole Connector # PK11604. By using this, you will not need an extension. I have provided a link to a video showing how to replace a 6-pole connector.

  • Correct Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray for a 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • I checked with Rhino Rack and they do offer a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray for a 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser but only models with the bare roof. If this is what you have then you can use the tray part # RR25TB which measures 84" x 49" with backbone mounting part # RRRFJB1.

  • Recommended Crossbars & Towers For Mounting Thule Hullavator to 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Factory Rails
  • Since you are looking at using the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 on your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser I recommend staying with the Thule brand for the crossbars and towers. You will need a set of crossbars that over hang the towers like the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420. These will attach to your factory roof rails with the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. All parts are black to match the look of your factory roof. The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450800 will...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Behind an RV Using Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
  • The Roadmaster Sterling tow bar # RM-576 is compatible with all Roadmaster base plates including XL base plates # 1183-1 for the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The XL base plates will use the quick disconnects that came with the tow bar. It sounds like your Jeep has the EZ5 base plates but that type of set up is not available for the FJ Cruiser. The tow bar already has safety cables and a 7- to 6-Way so what I recommend for wiring on the FJ is # TR118821. You would have to cut off the 4-Way that...

  • Correct Parts for Yakima Roof Rack on a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser

  • Swagman Titan Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 FJ Cruiser
  • The Swagman Titan 3 bike rack # S63405 is an excellent choice for a bike rack that has many of the features as some of the more expensive racks. For the money I think it is one of the best racks we offer and I believe it would work very well for you. I already checked and you should have plenty of hitch-to-bumper clearance for this rack to fit on your vehicle as well. I attached a review video for you to check out also. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes that...

  • Best 2 Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser to Clear Rear Spare
  • The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV will not clear the rear spare tire of your 2010 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 only 7 inches from it's pin hole to the nearest wheel tray so that would will not work. Check out the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Matte Black # BA22B. It has 11-3/4...

  • Rola Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • I believe I have a solution for you but most likely the 32x48 Pro Series Solo Steel Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 that you referenced would interfere with your door opening due to the 4 inches of rise the shank has. You should check out the etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier # e98874. I has a 19-1/2" distance from the hitch pin hole to the carrier and has a tilting feature. I attached a link to installation instructions and a review video for you to check out also.

  • 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...

  • Is the Dexter Trailer Hub 8-201-9UC3-EZ Sold Individually or as A Pair
  • The Dexter Trailer Hub part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ that you referenced is sold individually. If you needed two of these you'd need to order a quantity of two. If you wanted a pair of brake assemblies that are designed for this hub we have the part # 23-458-459.

  • 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...
