    Hi, I just bought a 2007 FJ and am running into an issue with a p0304 code. I’ve replaced the ignition coil on that cylinder and am replacing all the spark plugs tomorrow in hopes that will solve the issue. However what’s weird to me is that the CEL only comes on when I start the vehicle for...

    Tons of info on here on how to replace the timing cover, but before diving down that rabbit hole, I want to clean off the oil that gently weeps. For how long has it weeped? I have no clue. I just got the 2010 FJ recently at 120k miles. As I've read in older threads, others have mentioned to...

    I have a 100k mile 2012 fj that I just brought it into a Toyota dealer in the SoCal area. They charged an arm and a leg for a transmission / power steering fluid change, but I was already there so I went with it. They gave me some crazy $$$ numbers for some maintenance work that needs to be and...

    Here and there I hear little things that people do to take care of their FJ. I just read someone’s post of putting engine treatment fluid in their tank, I read a while back if someone spraying some rustoleum on their undercarriage. For a car newb who isn’t afraid to learn some of this stuff to...

    See title, wondering what I need to do to make sure everything will stay in working order. Have service records (car fax) for oil changes for the life of the vehicle but that's all I can see. Just got new tires and hosed down the underside with fluid film. I'm thinking I should get plugs...

    Hi there! I just wanted to know your opinion on when to change the oil when the car is regularly being driven offroad? Please also note that I use KMs instead of Miles in this post. I mainly use my FJ for weekend trips that include gravel and offroad driving too. 10-25% of my driving is...

    Hey everyone, quick question. I drive an '07 FJ with 286k miles on it and it has given me very few issues (the main thing is the tranny shutter between 2nd and 3rd at low RPMs, mostly fixed with new sparkies and coils). However, I'm considering flushing the transmission fluid this summer. I was...

    During a brake job, I encountered what seems to be the famous broken wheel stud. I'm counting my blessings that I don't have a stuck lug nut that's just spinning and spinning, I just don't have a lug nut on that stud. I'm not a mechanical person, so just to make it easier I took it to a local...

    Hi everyone - I'm new to the forum! Joined to ask the collective wisdom here on what would be the best thing I could do for my baby now that he's hitting 100k miles.
