    Installed a new radio, the Advent OTOMF1, it has a factory look to it. It has Bluetooth and navigation and was plug n play, came with a toyota harness that literally just plugged in. I will be adding a backup camera in the near future. I haven't fully decided how I will mount the backup camera. I may try to make the camera install look factory or I may install it in the rear bumper. I also installed the ATrac button which activates the ATrac feature. :)

    Finally got around to installing my bumper wing eliminators. Pics don't really do justice to how much better they look than the stupid wings that get ripped off every time you off road. My wings were only held on by one white clip each so I just ripped them off. Took maybe 20 minutes to install, super easy. IMG_20170202_142538755_HDR.jpg

    But they look out of place, like they were a last second add on. Plus I've knocked mine off almost every time I've been off road, especially on downhill off camber spots in the rocks

    Hey guys, been lurking this website for the past 2-3 years in search of a Tacoma, but ended up purchasing at FJC after the new year. I've done a few mods since purchase. Anyways here's my FJ as of Sunday.

    Well after going through several vehicles (12 Tacoma TRD DCSB OR 4x4, 15 Jeep JKU Rubicon, and a 04 Tacoma TRD OR 4x4 I have landed on a 2012 FJ Cruiser with 86,000 miles. Got it for 22750 at a dealership which I thought was a really good deal. Just took her out this weekend for the maiden voyage. Deffinitly need a lift and....so many other things to list that my budget won't allow.

    Hey guys! New FJ owner for the last 3 months. Back in mid December had my Tacoma totaled by a drunk driver :-/
    IMG_4972.jpg
    I bought the FJ because it was affordable. I miss the Tacoma a lot. Sometimes I wish I would have bought another Tacoma instead. But little by little I'm starting to like the FJ. Each mod gets me one step closer.

    Here it is when I bought it with 140,000 Miles on it. IMG_5336.jpg

    After some iron man suspension and new tires
    IMG_5703.jpg

    And after painting the trim and wheels black, also removed the upper portion of the roof rack!
    IMG_6329.jpg

    Next! Paint or wrap the roof black!

    My girlfriend just got herself an FJ last month. Here's the day we picked her up
    We got her a new set of wheels and tires 2 weeks ago! 285/70/17 Cooper STT Pros and 17" American Outlaw Hollywoods. We had to cut the hell out of the cab mount but there is no scrubbing even at full flex! Not too bad for stock suspension And last weekend we took her to Uwharrie and she did absolutely amazing! I can't believe how great she did with stock suspension. I love this thing!
