steering wheel is on the Wong side

Fog lights can be handy to light up behind a bit more for reversing.

Excellent tips! 2 i didn't know. Thanks again.

Beetles are awesome

Hi Outback Touring, question for you: My vehicle is a 4.0L V6 2006 4Runner. New Issue: Torque converter unlocking more than usual, causing temp spikes from the normal 160F-180F temps into the 200F-220F range in just 10 seconds. When I ease on the gas the TC locks up, it cools down to normal temp in 10 seconds. The TC unlocking is getting more and more frequent and the power loss + temp spikes is a growing concern when driving around the hills in the city or highway. -Any advice on this issue? Install a TC locker? Regear? Dyno tune? -Any advice how to rule out if any parts are going bad, since this didn't happen before. Sensors, solenoids? Notes: -drain & fill replaced all trans fluid 2 years ago -fluid level OK (checked 2 years ago and recently) - 11" x 9" Hayden 698 trans coolers (I have 2 in series) -trans lines bypass the radiator -inline 165F thermostat -inline trans filter ----------------- -Yes, there's added vehicle weight (RTT, armour, drawers, tires, etc) but the TC unlocking is a recent issue. -normal trans temps 165F-185F; even under heavy load max 190F -recently the TC unlocks a lot more than usual... in just 10-15 seconds the temp jumps to 200F-220F range. When TC locks up it immediately cools down to 180F. -over the months its getting worse... unlocks when accelerating up slight inclines or maintaining highway cruising speeds, even when in 4th, 3rd gears etc. -Some brand new 5th gens have this issue as soon as they get added weight; and end up with up to 2 or 3 trans coolers just to maintain 180F driving highway speeds. That solves the temps problem, but what about the power loss from the TC unlocking all the time?

where did you connect the blue trigger wire? i cant find the connector on my HU?

The Legendary FJ Cruiser. 👍🏻

Nice and informative.

Did it start making the whistle turbo sound at idle after upgrading turbo? Because I have a straight pipe and it doesn’t sound near that

I replaced my splash guards diy with some extrusion rubber from "hammerbarn", has been going strong for 4-5 years now. Just had the fun experience of my fuel pump dieing last weekend. Not a hard job to replace it, but a little tough to diagnose without the proper tools initially. I think Kaon do a Bandi style mount, but don't think Bandi do them anymore. I replaced my rear links with patrol ones as well about 5yr ago and had no dramas. Wheel bearings are on my list soon with 280k up.

🙂👍

love it mate!

Good review thanks. You may want to think about removing the small engine sump and clean your oil pickup mesh filter. Also VVTi filter screens. One each side of the engine. Easily accessible crom the front. Fourby4Diesel on youtube has made these suggestions on his channel. Very helpful hints from you both..

is it necessary to follow the Toyota temperature procedure?

I'm not sure how I missed this video. Thanks for showing us through the list of what to look for. 👍🏼

I have just purchased one. Could you post a video on setting up the shower.

Works for me as well. Thanks for saving my FJ

What motor do you have in this?

10 year's! You must mean 10 days

I stripped one of the housing bolts because I thought it was only loose won’t come out anymore not sure what to do

The undercarriage is mint 🔥

Tokyo Drift theme ain't matching the style of Takumi 's 86

Have the blinking problem with my FJ. At first it wasn’t blowing cool air, now every time I turn the AC on my car shakes. Going to buy the part and see if this works.. has this happened to anyone else? any advise?

Funny havent had a single one of these problems with ny 2012 aus FJ or with my 2017 model. Maybe its cuz i dont treat them like shit?

I've done the same mode but I've introduce a security foot switch to switch of the torque converter lock up.

Thank you for posting this video. Just exchanged the piece as you instructed and I once again have a/c in this Florida heat. Plus I was able to save myself a couple hundred dollars if not more. Thanks again!!!

That video was just what I was looking for Just purchased a 12 black fj and was thinking the Engel 38 would be a good choice. Would really like to put my 95l waeco in somehow.

Hi, i bought the same exact blaupunkt player, for 20$, new in box. But the problem with it is that it keeps freezing and not reacting to comands. Do you know if it's a software problem?

How did you get the wire to the exterior of the fridge?

I had steering slop in my FJ. I replaced my lower control arm bushings with Whiteline bushings, new tie rods and that literally was a night and day difference. Most of the abuse on my FJ is from high speed desert driving, surprise jumps and hard landings. I notice the idlers tend to make noises after a deep water crossing so I keep spares. My FJ is an old 2007 but it still takes a beating. Overall, great trucks as long as you don't need more space.

It's not good to hear you have cracked your tank...I have the same tank and have done many corrugations, resulting in a few deep dents on the tank bottom. My tank is only 1 year old hopefully it can survive another 9 years like yours lol.

Is there post to be a gasket around that kind of thermostat

Absolutely correct, an adjustment bar will put the geometry even further out when in motion , you need to start with a level bar.

My 2007 fj does not have the capability to turn VSC off 😢,unless I unplug the harness from brake reservoir,VSC sucks in snow

Nice to hear that you are more satisfied with the BP-51 coilovers. I bought my FJ with +/- 200k km. It is a 2012 model year manual transmission, the first owner (German fellow) imported it brand new from the US, used it for about 7 years then decided to sell it. So I jumped on the deal. Never regretted it since. It was still running on the original suspension, but the inspection showed that the rear ones were almost finished off and the front ones were also getting close to their end. I was thinking about several options Icon, Pedders, Dobinson ... but at the end I decided to go for the OME BP-51, and I did it all around, in the rear with the middle strength springs. I am also very pleased with them. No issues so far. I did quite a few mods on it. ARB front air locker, ARB compressor, ARB breather kit, Nitro re-gearing to 4.56 as I installed 295 / 70 R 17 Cooper STT Pro mud tyres, custom made steel bumpers front and rear, custom made skid plates, Nilight off road led lights, and quite a few small items. There are still some other stuff that \I am planning for. But I am really happy with the car and how it behaves on our Transylvanian dirt roads up in thehills and mountains.

Great little video mate. I only recently replaced my with cheap eBay ones....They did fit well. But I'll definitely check these out when the time rolls around again.

I cant find this exact product on their website. Please post a link?

Beautiful! Cold chisel method worked well after I rounded the hex plug. Thanks.

Great vid! Mines done 90k and I’ve had to do the passenger CV seal, air-con relay and drivers side CV failed ( probably my fault that one 😅) Starter motor got a bit of mud and water in it on a particularly wet track and wouldn’t start the next day. Just drained it with the little bung on the bottom and gave it whack, no issues since. Wouldn’t want to change it, have heard it’s a nightmare…
