FJ Cruisers of Northern California

What did you do to your FJC Today???

Hello All,

I've seen this thread on other forums, looks like fun...I'll get it started.

I drove my rig to work (first time I've had it out in a few weeks). Took it in for a wash..

Here is how not to gall the threads; use anti-seize compound and torque the bolts.

Today I installed a 2 usb charger socket in the center console switch panel. I popped the blank and a few others to get a fish-tape in there to pull wires to the fuse block on the left of the driver.

Hey guys, I got to give a shout-out here to the Oil Drain Valve guys at oildrainvalve.net in Washington. I found a link in a forum to their products and ordered what I thought was the one for my 2012 FJ. It was too large, I checked it against my gaskets for the drain plug. After I emailed them back they were nice enough to send me the correct one , EZ-103, and a return postage paid envelope for me to return the wrong one. Nice. This ball valve is really high quality stainless steel and the handle has a detent it sets in so it cannot be inadvertently opened. I also ordered the $4 screw-in hose end piece that hooks up to a short length of clear 3/8 dia. hose. Pics here from todays oil change and valve install. Plenty of room under the sheet metal cover.

Recently installed camburg’s 3.5” LT with kings on the front end and radflos 2.5 double bypass shocks on the rear. Haven’t installed any limit strap yet so I haven’t wheel it but it does ride on the street really well ha

Looking good. I saw a lot of rear facing snorkels in Japan and Russia last summer, I figured it was because of lots of inclement weather, yours looks cool. Thats an interesting look sans fender flares but looks like a lot of work to keep clean.
