  1. Want to Sell (FJ Related Items)
    Selling a used Dirty Parts dual battery kit. $170 including shipping in continental US. This kit saved me a few times when battery died. After just hearing a click, you can imagine the relief when I flipped the toggle switch and the truck started while on the Gemini trail in Moab. Anyway...
    $170 USD
  2. General Discussion
    I am currently on a cross country trip in my '07, so far I've watched a friend get her Subaru stolen from right outside her apartment building in a nice neighborhood, and one of my fam warned me that their area is experiencing a high cat converter theft rate. I'm having so much anxiety about my...

    Greetings. I have a mostly stock 08 FJ that has driven fine for years. Got 170K on it. About 4 months ago while on a road trip across state at 70pmh with cruise control on I had to tap my brakes slightly to slow down for traffic when suddenly all gauges on my dash light-up like a Christmas...

    Hope this is the right spot for this post. I’ve got a 2008 FJ cruiser, owned for over 2.5 years. Everything was perfect until roughly 2 months ago. Vehicle will unlock, then once I try to start, all the electrical systems will die. I then pop the hood and touch the negative side of the terminal...

    How easy is it to actually get down into the starter where all of the cables are supposed to connect? I've just cleaned some very bad corrosion on my '07 and the negative ground has fully broken off due to the corrosion... (and beating I had to give it to get the damn thing off...) I know some...

    Hey all - so, the dealer I bought my FJ from a few months ago replaced the battery. They're such absolute f***ing hacks that they got a 27F battery and just strapped it into the tray. However, since the standard battery size is 24, the battery isn't actually flush and held into the tray. I found...
  7. Misc. Technical Discussion
    So I disconnected the battery positive for 3 months to leave the truck in storage. When I reconnected it, the horn went off constantly, and she wouldn't turn over. The battery voltage was well within the acceptable range. A mechanic suggested: 1. Removing the key 2. Reconnecting the battery...

    First post & proud new FJ Cruiser owner! I know this topic has been discussed, but I’ve been searching the forums endlessly on deep-cycle batteries and they all seem outdated... I’m taking a 10 day trip through “The Maze” in Moab this coming May. I’m looking for a reliable deep-cycle battery...

    Just got done dealing with a confusing issue, hope this helps. I was very close to spending a lot of money that wasn't necessary. Symptoms: Voltage drop under braking, voltage dive coming to a stop, good start with low idle, stalling idle, battery not charging I was experiencing all of these...

    So today i got a 55in curved Rough country light bar installed on my 2010 FJ. When i picked the truck up i turned it on and then tested out the light bar. Looked great the installer even made a comment about how bright it looked. So i headed out happy. As i got about a 1/4 mile down the road i...
  12. Problems / Dealer Service
    So I have a bizzare experience happening. Walked to my 2008 Fj, unlocked it with key fob. Put the key in the ignition, let the battery kick in (lights, music, etc.) as soon as I turned the key to crank it. I hear one click then all power shuts off. Lights turn off with music along with...

  14. Misc. Technical Discussion
    Hey Guys, I have a question to throw out there. I have a 2014 FJ and it still only has about 5K miles on it if that. My battery appears to have a bad cell already. I can tell it's a bad cell as the Alternator is fine and putting out the right voltage, however, when you go to start the truck the...

    Hello all, I have a 2011TT and have been having an interesting problem. About a year ago now I took it in for service at the dealer and they told me the battery needed to be replaced as it was not holding a charge. I replaced it with a Optima Yellow Top shortly after and didn't have any issues...

    Hey guys, So as of now, my battery is powering a CB Radio, 12,000lb Winch, a police/fire/ems radio, a regular AM/FM radio with a subwoofer, as well as all of its regular duties as a car battery. I am looking to get a bunch of lighting so that I can light up the trails. But I am worried that I...
