If anyone else wants to go, let me know. I'm thinking about getting to Bryan by noon to eat lunch and I'll be at the park by 1:30 or 1:45.

This will be my first time there but I've heard a lot of good things about it. Wheeling at BVORR is only open to the public on 2 Sundays a month, following the local TX4WD club 2pm meeting. Donations to the club are appreciated ($5 was suggested). From what I've heard & seen it's worth much more than that :).

We are so happy to be new FJ cruiser owners and to join the forum. Our FJ is a used sun fusion/TRD pkg '07 model. We bought because we got stuck in the snow at our retreat in the Sierra's. It has 31K miles. It is my wife Sherry's new baby since our 8 boys have all left home, finished college and best have jobs I see more FJ Cruisers now that we own one. Our neighbors can't help but enjoy gazing at the yellow beast gracing our driveway. Is it best to stop before going into 4 wheel drive. My wife got some grinding during a shift. -What did we do wrong? Thanks Ron O ]]> Newbie Discussions Ron O http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/newbie-discussions/166336-newbie-shfit-into-4-wheel-drive.html Brake Accumulator Screeching Noise - HELP!!! http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/problems-dealer-service/166335-brake-accumulator-screeching-noise-help.html Fri, 24 May 2013 05:24:51 GMT Ok, I think I've finally gathered all the evidence I need to describe my problem.

So I JUST bought a 2007 FJ from the dealer today, and on the way home, I notice this wretched screeching, squealing, creaking noise coming from behind the dash, seemingly from the brake pedal at first. It happened about every 20-30 seconds. Of course my first hour behind the wheel of my new rig is ruined (bless my 97 4Runner's soul...). Before I go back to the dealer tomorrow and raise hell, I want to know exactly what's going on.

When I popped the hood, I noticed that the brake accumulator was rattling first before the screeching started. As soon as it rattled, the screeching happened right after.

Can anyone tell me exactly what is happening and what the repercussions are?

This first video is a clear sample of the noise I'm hearing. The pic is of the brake accumulator on the master cylinder:


This next video is of the accumulator shaking (look closely) followed behind the same screech you hear in the first video, although not as easy to hear.


Can anyone tell me exactly what is happening and what the repercussions are?

Thank you!!!! ]]> Problems / Dealer Service AshDeezy http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/problems-dealer-service/166335-brake-accumulator-screeching-noise-help.html Good DARK Window Tinting Place? http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/texas/166334-good-dark-window-tinting-place.html Fri, 24 May 2013 04:55:49 GMT Hey guys. Just got my 2013 TT after buying it on March 30th and I love it! The only thing I don't love is the lame window tinting on the front windows. I understand tinting laws here in the area, but I don't care... I'll take the chance. Does anyone know of a good tinting place that will match my front windows to the "privacy" tint on the back windows? I've been to a couple and they won't do it. Anywhere in DFW is good for me. ]]> Texas haiken3 http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/texas/166334-good-dark-window-tinting-place.html Can anyone tell me what this part is? http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/problems-dealer-service/166333-can-anyone-tell-me-what-part.html Fri, 24 May 2013 04:25:31 GMT I'm trying to solve a problem I'm having with a weird noise coming from my FJ. It is related to this part. What is it called?

When I go to flip the bottom portion forward to drop the seats, I pull the string at the back of the cusion and it doesn't seem to move any release; just pulls up. Is this correct or should a mechanism be moving? The passenger side (large side) always hangs up on the bolt in the floor. I've had to push from the front of the cushion towards the rear of the vehicle while pulling up on the pull string to get it to release. The driver's side doesn't "latch" into place. It flips forward and goes back down w/out ever engaging the "latch".

What is normal operation for these things? The ones in our 4Runner seem to be latched until you release the latch by pulling the pull tab at the rear of the cushion. Then they latch again when you drop them back into place.

Just wondering before I take it in for it's first service at 5,000 miles. That way I can just have it fixed. ]]> General Discussion BrandonS http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/general-discussion/166332-rear-seats-flip-up-question.html Newbie http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/introductions-new-arrivals/166329-newbie.html Fri, 24 May 2013 03:39:31 GMT Hi All! just picked up my new 2013 FJ last friday I have owned several Jeeps,a land rover defender and just traded a H3 hummer in on the FJ I am looking forward to learning about my new FJ from forum members so far I am impressed with my new ride .AL Hi All! just picked up my new 2013 FJ last friday I have owned several Jeeps,a land rover defender and just traded a H3 hummer in on the FJ I am looking forward to learning about my new FJ from forum members so far I am impressed with my new ride .AL ]]> Cruzer13 http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/introductions-new-arrivals/166329-newbie.html Will these wheels work ok? http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/wheels-tires/166328-will-these-wheels-work-ok.html Fri, 24 May 2013 03:08:54 GMT Sorry in advance for being such a noob at tires/wheels....

My dad has offered to give me his KMC XD Series Enduro 17" x 9" wheels, and I just wanted to verify that they would be compatible with my current tires, 265/70/17.

If someone would just confirm if they will or will not work, I would really appreciate it. I just wanted to confirm before I make the drive to go get them.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't looked at the subwoofer switch yet, but I am assuming there are just two wires I could mate together for a constant ON for the subwoofer? I am looking to eliminate the switch all together and use the hole for something else. ]]> Stereo / Electronics / Electrical hewster http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/stereo-electronics-electrical/166327-making-subwoofer-constant.html XZilon Paint Protection? http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/general-discussion/166326-xzilon-paint-protection.html Fri, 24 May 2013 02:58:03 GMT I'm usually the guy at the dealer that immediately says no to any and all paint protection deals that they try to lock you into at signing but I ended up getting the XZilon paint protection at signing as a side bonus since my salesperson had been slightly....how should I say this......WORTHLESS.

It was the dealerships way of saying, here's a little kiss ass from us. I'm sure I'm paying for it someway some how, but my monthly payment didn't go up after it was added on so, what the hell.

My question is does this actually work or did I just get an extra coating of clear coat? The finance guy claims it protects from.....
  • Paint scratches
  • Bug guts
  • Fading
  • Vandalism a.k.a paint
  • and road grime

...he also said it's guaranteed for 5 years. Did I just buy some snake oil or is there some truth to these claims?

Like I said I'm not too concerned about getting it since it didn't affect my monthly payment, but I've never dealt with paint protection items before. ]]> General Discussion Bheid http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/general-discussion/166326-xzilon-paint-protection.html Not new member, but new Owner http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/introductions-new-arrivals/166325-not-new-member-but-new-owner.html Fri, 24 May 2013 02:46:40 GMT Just got home from picking up my Cavalry Blue 2013 with Upgrade and Convenience package upgrades.

I traded in my 2004 Chevy Silverado work truck and couldn't be happier. I was one of the people caught up in the stop sell and have been eagerly awaiting this day. I got a hell of a deal on my trade and the finance guy even threw me a few bones on my rates seeing as how I am just outta bankruptcy (just over 4% on interest rate).

I've already got my first mod planned and that's to attach my FJCruiserforums.com forum badge to my grill.

Can't wait to get on some trails and have fun. :rocker: ]]> Bheid http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/introductions-new-arrivals/166325-not-new-member-but-new-owner.html
