#15 of 44 Warranty on the FJ by rollbar Dec 14, 2006 (10:07 am)
Dealer talked me into the extended warranty (Toyota Extra Care Platinum). It's offered by Toyota and extends the factory warranty to 6 years or 100,000 miles. We intend to keep the FJ so it was attractive; plus, it is transferable if we sell the vehicle.   The price. Dealer said it retails for 1400 + and would sell it to me for 1050. I have no clue if it really sells for 1400 but at 1050 I thought it was a good enough value and the factory warranty is only 3 years/36,000 miles. That's wimpy this day and age when 4 year 50,000 mile warranties are the norm.   Thoughts? Anyone else bite on the extra warranty? Problems with it?   Roll
#16 of 44 Not much activity on this board I guess...... Another question by rollbar Dec 18, 2006 (6:18 am)
I don't like the small mechanical rearview mirror and am thinking about adding an aftermarket automatic dimming mirror. Would have to run a power lead to the mirror I guess.   Has anyone else done this? What did you buy and can you give detail of your installation?   Thanks,   Gary
#17 of 44 Spare Tire Theft by johnp271 Jan 20, 2007 (1:43 pm)
I just got the FJ Cruiser and so far (less than 500 miles) I really like it. Here's my question: the spare tire and rim look great and have to cost big bucks. They are secured with 3 standard lug nuts so would be a piece of cake to remove. I am afraid to park the car anywhere but in my garage. Are locking lug nuts really helpful as a theft deterrent? Are other FJ owners concerned? Has anyone had their spare stolen? Thanks for any advice you might have, John. Replies to this message: sopfloyd (Jan 21, 2007 2:32 pm) rollbar (Jan 22, 2007 7:38 am)

Replying to: johnp271 (Jan 20, 2007 1:43 pm) I got my FJ in mid-November. I spent Nov - December at all the shopping malls (for hours & hours at a time). Never a problem. But locking nuts, wouldn't hurt - rather be safe then sorry. (By the way, I live in Houston, TX; major city with major car theft issues).

Replying to: johnp271 (Jan 20, 2007 1:43 pm) I removed the locking lugs on the wheels; I see them as nothing but a nuisance. However, I do use a locking lug on the spare. No harm in adding a tire cover either. Won't stop anyone but might tone down the temptation for a casual opportunistic theft.   Roll
#20 of 44 Trailer Brakes for FJ by lbuck1 Mar 11, 2007 (3:36 pm)
The FJ is rated for 5000 ponds tow capacity, but Toyota has not provided the alternative 7 wire harness adaptor to allow the installation of an electronic brake controller. I have asked at the dealer and they say they won't stand behind the warranty if I do an after-market adaptation. Does anyone have any information on what's needed for the conversion or if Toyota has something we just don't know about? Replies to this message: crusier (May 08, 2009 9:51 pm)
#22 of 44 Toyota FJ Cruiser with a Roof Rack by cthuskie May 04, 2007 (4:31 am)
I was wondering ; when the roof rack is added to the FJ Cruiser , was does the Total Height become ? Anyone find the vehicle with a roof rack , too tall to get thru your garage door opening ? Replies to this message: canman1971 (May 04, 2007 5:48 pm) crusier (May 08, 2009 9:35 pm)

Replying to: cthuskie (May 04, 2007 4:31 am) Mine fits fine. I measured it before I bought it and I have like 4 inches clearance. Not a lot, but enough, unless I have a bunch of stuff on. And my garage is pretty standard. It's not that big.
#24 of 44 FJ Cruiser Problems by codavis Jun 05, 2007 (11:56 am)
My FJ has a problem with shaking/vibration. Has anyone else had this problem? My dealer has had it in for maintenance several times and cannot fix the problem except for temporarily minimizing it. I've since moved and find Toyota service is leaving me high and dry. Thanks for your help!
