(Part 3) Top products from r/FJCruiser

DeeZee makes a great quality ladder, for a super affordable price. I can’t praise the quality enough for how cheap it is.

It is true that you will not have rear window access, which isn’t ever an issue for me so I did it. Makes easy access to the roof rack while giving a great overland-look. Not terribly functional for me, as I’m 6’3 and can reach the roof fine standing on the rear bumper. but if I need to climb on top of the truck now I can. Was a super easy install, hardware is included and everything.

Kawell - got them on Amazon:

I've read that there a ton of knock-offs on Amazon, but I made sure I went with a set that was advertised as "Sold by kawell, fulfilled by Amazon" and I'm pretty sure I got a legit pair.

Gratz!

I had 2007, drove it for 6 years for less than 40k miles, sold it, then recently picked up a 2010 trail teams with 82k at 6k higher price than what I sold my regular fj for lol.

It’s pretty door ding prone so get these

Enjoy it!

I love the FJ because its after market and owners support is strong.

• You can add a auxiliary fuel tank, like these by Man-A-Fre. It adds another 19 gallons.
  
  
• An auxiliary fuse box for more "power points". Blue Sea System makes them to satisfy as many as you want to add.
  
  
• Rack solutions are a search away. From new racks to mounting accessories.
  
  
• I've been doing this for years without a winch. (Though I bought one recently) Snatch straps, D rings and friend are more than enough for most situations. Maybe add some Maxtrax if you can afford them. Mostly drive according to your mechanical ability and skill, know your limits.
  
  
• CB radios are great but I've used cheap walkie talkies too. Not like my spotter is going to be carrying a CB manpack.

I love my Warrior Products Bumper. It was about $1000. Made in the USA, and I have had no problems with this bumper. It winches well, looks great, and protects my headlights in the forests.

For backup lights, I switched to these which were much brighter.

For dome lights, I switched to these, which were also much brighter (and whiter) than stock.  Power consumption is dramatically less than factory incandescents 0.7W vs. 6.7W so you don't need to worry about battery drain.

Armarkat Pet Bed Mat 39-Inch by 28-Inch by 7-Inch, M02HJH/MB-Large, Ivory https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BYQ08S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7kuRCb61XMRN0
Here it is! I got it on amazon. I have a lab so I got the large. It definitely works all the way in the back. If you put him in the backseat you need a backseat hammock set up. You can find those on amazon also!

Size tires are 285s with a small lift and leveling kit.
Shovel
Rubber Clamps
1-1/2 inch Conduit Hangers

Bought these parts then went to the hardware store for for a couple screws, washers, and nuts to put them together! Pretty cheap. Also, right now the shovel is ~ $50 but I purchased it a couple months ago for ~ $25 so I’d look around for a better deal.

This is the one I have, stuck just above the hazard light button. Easy access to play/pause/forward/rewind, good built-in mic for phone calls. https://smile.amazon.com/Kinivo-BTC450-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Input/dp/B009NLTW60/ref=sr_1_22

I carry this one, and it is just in the back, sliding around with every turn I make. I am going to get a rack like jollyhero has.

I have this

Then you can bolt this, or others to that plate.

https://www.amazon.com/iBOLT-IT-J9VJ-IKZK-AMPS-Adapter-Plate/dp/B009AYLYWA

This can plug in directly with the old horn adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008J151H4 you just need a larger fuse to put in the fuse box for it.

I have the Springtail MPAC on the rear door.

I have seat back storage in the Wet Okole seat covers.

I am looking to get rid of the factory sub, and use that space, and the space opposite of it, for storage.

I have these

Smittybilt 791006 Clinometer with Compass https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001CF3J6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hhhxybSF5Q95M

I use the BlackVue DR500GW-HD. It's expensive, but given the FJ's narrow windshield, I wanted something really small.

I have it mounted up behind the rearview mirror... first I mounted it up too high in an area the wipers didn't reach, and snow would block everything. So I moved it down. You can't see it from the drivers' seat though.

I used a credit card to tuck the wire up in the headliner, ran it behind the A-pillar, behind the dash and to the fusebox.
