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..

A few weeks ago when I was winching somebody over some snow drifts, I noticed my winch would not winch out under power. When I got home, I diagnosed the problem: failed solenoid. Called Superwinch and they sent me a replacement gratis. Today I got it all re-installed (under the hood, where I had it before). Decided while I was at it, I would relocate my control connector:

and use switched power for the connector since it's now externally accessible.

(guess my rig needs a wash :)

I installed my TRD CAI earlier today. I've been wanting to add this ever since I installed my Borla XR-1 and All-Pro tailpipe a couple years ago. It probably won't make a difference in performance, but it looks cool.

I added Hella Supertone horns and custom painted my engine and radiator covers. I also added my own logos, which are negatives of the original black. I made the logos from my vinyl plotter, spray painted, and then peeled away.

I finally got my FJ back after being the innocent party of a wreck. A Honda civic decided to bounce off of my front end, but the FJ held like a tank! No bumper yet, going tomorrow to get a custom one...

Don't get it done by Toyota. May have just been a one-time thing, but I took mine in and the mechanics were lazy and didn't torque my diff cap down, so it fell off while driving on the freeway. Lost almost all the fluid and was so close to shredding my gears. They fixed it up for free, but regardless that should never have happened. Especially considering I was wheeling deep in Tahoe and would have been stranded.
