I’m a new subscriber and fairly new to owning an FJ. I’d like to see anything to do with the functioning of the FJ. For example: When you put the key in the lock and turn it twice to the right, it unlocks all the doors. If you only turn it once, it just unlocks the driver’s door. I also enjoy seeing anything to do with camping. Thanks so much!

I find my fj seat sooo comfortable without any modification. If I did need to modify it, though, this makes it very clear how to do so 😊

What is the best mileage for changing the transmission fluid ?

did you see the human shape shadow to the left side of the video at 5:35 that walks in the wood?

Always thought the Tacoma's and FJ's held just over 3 quarts of fluid. When I change the oil on my 2nd generation Tacoma, I first remove the fill plug just to be certain I can remove it. Then I remove the drain and overflow plugs. I measure the precise fluid coming out of the tranny with a measured 5quart clearly maked container. I reinsert the drain and overlow plugs. Finally I put back 3 quarts and then just a tab over. I then interlock position 4 and 13 on the OBII connector. I start the truck and shift through all the gears a couple of times and then rapid shift neutral drive a few times until the Trans Temp Light comes on and then it goes off. I then put the vehicle in park and remove the interlocking connector and just wait unit the Trans Temp Light comes back on and then I pull the overflow plug. I small amount should drible out and then I reinsert the overflow plug. If the trans temp light flashes, I now the trans in just too hot to check the fluid. I don't know maybe the FJ is different than the Tacoma.

Years ago, I was at Glacier National Park and watched a Millennial couple try for hours to light the bundle of wood they bought from the store with no kindling, using their trash. In the morning when they left I got their firewood they left.....🤣

Nice case! Also, what song is in the end? :D

great info. What is the regearing price range

Simple. Good to know.

Oh, you short people on your problems

What sweater is that?

Bro. After you do your fluid change is when you check the temp and open up your pan overflow. Let it flow until it stops and THEN you are at the proper level.

OH YEA Matt gearing is everthing with Torqe I dont understand the ratios but I see logging trucks go by us up a 6 % grade like we are standing still and watch some of these nuts back east in the Busted Knuckle videos of whipple charged 4 wheelers going up impossible hills ,gearing and torque and hp is everything !

oh

I love the look of a tastefully lifted/mods FJ, like yours. I picked up a 2014 with 125k from older guy (70's) original owner, no mods, Arizona FJ.

Good stuff!

Hi Matt , DJ S dad here ,Great video man you are ready for bear with all the gear ! I really like the way you set up your gear in the back ! I didnt see a chainsaw though what do you do when you come across a tree over the road ? it happens a lot around here because of the winds . We are staying on the Elk River in Port Orford and we have Big Kitties visiting often im allways finding deer bones or scat but yet to see one . word of advice get yerself a dog as an alarm . Great VIDEO S Matt I really like that you dont mess it up with annoying music through the whole thing in the background ! GOOD STUFF MAN !

I agree with your simplicity

🔥😅 love it matt good edit brother

Felt the same while sitting in mine, I’m 5’ 10” and my knees were always higher than my waist until I raised the back. I also cut the rear view mirror arm to move the mirror up a bit as it blocks a lot of the windshield.

This reminds me junkyard digs Chanel.

That Land Cruiser is the Best. I know you could do that. Long hours and attention to details. Every tiny detail will result in that. Lots of time. Lots of money. But damn. One beautiful beastie.

Now I definitely know, that I like the LandCruiser 250 with round headlights. Thanks for sharing!

My A/T oil temp light doesn’t go off like yours, it just starts blinking.

My drain plug got loose while on the dirt road ( weird !! ) and most of the fluid leaked out! I got new plug and fluid. How much should I put in? Thanks!

this is a different model than the one with 4 latches and no hinges?

what are the interior dimension? thanks!

Thanks for the video. Got it done!

How much lift does your FJ have ?

Do you have a video on changing the filter? If not, would I just replace the total amount of fluid equal to the drain process and whatever comes out when the pan is dropped?

Just checking to see if the comments post and stay posted. This is only a test

6:00 Right or wrong? I thought that once the transmission was up to temp service technicians opened the Allen plug and let any "extra expanded fluid" fully drain out of the overflow hole before replacing the Allen plug.

how about the metal filter???

Aren't you supposed to replace the fluid in the pan too? And replace it with the same fluid level thats in the pan all together with what came out of the drain plug?

And then you keep doing it each weekend until the cleaner stuff starts coming out?

First question: is this valid for all FJ years? Second: if you are bringing it up to temperature, drain warm fluid and then refill with exact amount of fluid which has not warmed up, wouldn’t the new fluid expand and not be the same amount once refilled? All the info is very helpful, just a little uneasy about that aspect. Shouldn’t the level be checked after refilling? Much appreciated.

Can I put a lock on it?

Just picked up, Jan 2024, a 2014 FJ from original owner (72 yr old guy) that bought it new. 115k miles and has service records from same Arizona dealership where he purchased it. Only water it has seen is rain. Took me two years of waiting & searching. I'm 64 and semi-retired so it will have well under 200k when I'm ready to depart from it. Hope the values don't fall.

I have an FJ and would like to do this as well. How much residual is in the torque converter ? In my previous experience with old Fords C4s and C6s the bulk of the fluid was in the Torgue converter and not the pan. Never worked on Toyota before.

How long might it take to warm up to temp on a cold day from cold start? Seems like I’ve waited a long time since the AT Temp light flashed once.

Thank you for the info I appreciate you taking the time to show dumbass lime me how to do it

How many litters are you filled.. Pls replay sir

Have a 2014 that’s about to hit 53k that I bought six months ago at 47k. When should I perform this?

$35.00 for "a stack of washers" ? I will make a set for both seats from some aluminum bar stock and grab 4 1 1/2 bolts all for about $12.00 not $70.00 (doing both front seats) I have done this to just about every vehicle I have ever owned. It does make a positive improvement over factory.

Top Tip: Always make sure you can remove the fill plug *before* you pull the drain plug! If it's jammed/siezed/cross-threaded for any reason, you can at least drive somewhere to get assistance, but if you drain first, and *then* discover you can't fill... I also notice that the "fill level" seemed high when you did your initial check - isn't it supposed to be just a trickle coming out at that temp? And definitely reinforce the point that the engine must be *running* when you check the level - if you turn it off, and open the level plug, a lot of fluid will come out (ask me how I know :))

why do you have to check the temperature and fluid level before changing the oil when all you have to do is to put in the same amount that you take out?

Great helpful video !

Great details! Thanks! How often do you replace the oil filter for the transmission?

Good to see you are using the proper fluid. So many guys think they know better than Toyota, it’s annoying. I service a lot of these AISIN units and they see ultra high mileage (above 500k) with very little service believe it or not
