Recommended Complete Flat Tow System for Toyota FJ Cruiser
Question:
So I need a list tow bar , brackets , or adapters to flat tow a fj cruiser 4WD auto. I’ve seen some videos of people using what they gave .... I have nothing. Rather get something new that works. Bolt on.

For Toyota FJ Cruiser models between 2007 and 2014, I recommend using the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1183-1. This will give you custom fit brackets that will allow you to bolt them right on with Loctite # LT37420.
Then I recommend the following:
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520
Safety Cables # RM-643
Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251
The combination of these parts will give you a great system that will give you safe transport and easy function to allow you to truly enjoy your time on the road.
Then you will also need a high-low adapter. This will need to be measured for the correct fit so I've attached an article to assist and have linked the page to all your options.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
