The Official TW FJ owners Thread

That is a clean 6 inch lifted FJ right there. I normally think they look stupid lifted that high but I like!

 

Saw a pretty sweet FJ with a 6'' lift and Road Armor bumper. I wanted to take a pic but would look bad because I was in the patrol car.

 

What's that cop taking pictures of me for?

 

Question for you FJ guys. If it comes with a Locking Rear Diff does that mean it has the A-trac?

 

It will have a separate button for A-Trac. But if its an 08 or newer and has the locker, it is highly unlikely you would not have A-Trac

 

What are you doing in So Cal? haha I usually just get on the PA and tell them nice truck

 

I believe they started putting Atrac in there from the beginning but I could be wrong. My bro is getting one and most people mention the Locker but not Atrac so I was looking for confirmation. I believe it does like on the 09+ tacomas.

 

I was imagining what would be going through the dudes head

I guess you're right. 07s had them too. But in 07 you couldn't activate A-trac and the locker at the same time unless you did the hack. 08s and newer allow you to turn them both on like it should be

 

Any FJ

, if it has a locker it has atrac. If you don't have a button all it takes is the button. Personal experience. My FJ did not come with atrac but had a locker 50$ button and I now have atrac tried and tested. Atrac is part of the stability control system that all fjs have but only locked trucks are prewired. I did have to do the hack to have both on at the same time.

 

They usually slam on their brakes or just dont look at me

 

I only try to act like I know something about FJs. I still think its weird the system is there but all that's stopping you from using it is whether they installed the button or not.

 

Thanks guys!

 

What else do you need?

Thanks FJ guys. My brother just purchased a 2008 FJ Cruiser and it has ATRAC!!!

 

for those that switched from tacomas to FJ's, how do you like the FJ? what do you like better? what dont you like? what did you like better about the taco?

Reason for switching?

 

I miss having a bed and a slightly higher towing capacity. That is about all. I love the FJ for it's unique interior, the driving position (sat back from the windshield), the manual transfer case (even though my truck is an AT), A-TRAC, locking diff, full size spare, the list goes on.

I didn't dislike my Tacoma really. I just didn't like the 6 speed and the fact that it was such a "pretty" truck in Speedway Blue.

 

Hey guys, I'm looking to sell my Moto Metal 951's and get some plain steelies instead. These rims have a decent amount of scuffing since they are painted (fail). However, they are all free of scratches or dents except for 2. One rims has two rock bites in the outer rim and one has a tiny scratch on the chrome part of the outer rim.

The rims are 17X9 with 4.53" backspacing. They will fit any Toyota truck, old or new with the 6X5.5 lug spacing. (Will even fit some Nissans I hear)

That being said, I'm hoping to get $400 for the set of FIVE rims. No tires included. Local pick up preferred. If you want to set up shipping you can and I'll help on my end but the cost of that will be your own to handle on top of my purchase price. Please don't PM me asking "How much to zip code .....?"

I will include the lug nuts. They are chrome with the spiny type threads on the outside. Requires a special lug socket which will also be included.

Sorry Tacoma guys, I will not sell only 4 of them. I need all 5 to go. Considering these still sell for close to $150 a piece brand new I consider this a reasonable deal. But I'll put OBO.

Here are some pictures of the rims on the truck. I don't have a picture of the scuffs yet but I will update tonight.

 

is A-trac in all the 4x4 fj's?

I love my pretty speedway blue

 

A-TRAC is available on every single 4X4 FJ. Not all of them come with the button to activate the system. You can buy the button for like $50 and install it. All the system mechanical parts are already there.
