NOTE: This thread has turned in to a complete build diary for my FJ and the more interesting mods are listed on page 2 of the thread.


It ain't much, but it's a start. Was trying to negotiate the purchase of a winch mount, dual battery system and roof lights w/a vendor online here, but the deal fell through. Was looking on spending about $5k on the works. Looks like I'll be saving that money for the time being, but I always seem to find a way to spend money somewhere.

Here are my first mods!

First Mod: Dodge Durango 4x4 Emblem

Found a left over "4x4" stick-on emblem from my 2001 Durango (long gone) and noticed that it fit very nicely into the instep of the "FJ Cruiser" logo at the rear of the car, so I just stuck it on. The lettering isn't exactly the same, but it blends well.

Second Mod: TRD Racing Hitch Cover

Bought a "TRD Racing" hitch cover to fill the empty hole. Didn't like the other ones I saw online all that much (mostly FJ and Toyota logos which are already overdone on the rear), but this is a good match with the TRD hub cover on the spare tire mounted on the rear door. Haven't seen any other FJ's with this hitch cover, which is also a plus in my view. This is where I found the hitch cover: Toyota hitch covers - Toyota. It's pricey at $30 plus shipping but it's very nice!

Third - Twentieth Mods:
