Questions About My Toyota FJ Cruiser
It's early in the product cycle, but if any one has a tweak to offer or a question about something in the manual, ask away.

Last question-Anyone know when the brushguard will be available and if it will be a zillion dollars?
I may well be wrong, but it seems to me that there is something in the owners manual about shutting off the daytime light..it may be something that the dealer has to do..can not remember for sure...Take a look thru the manual in detail, it may well be my memory, however...I do know you can shut off the passenger seat belt warning signal... :confuse:
BTW-it is listed @120V
Thanks!

Now I had to think about that for a minute...... :confuse:
What they are really saying is that if you turn the vehicle off, (as in parking it) the Daytime running lights will be off. Or...if you turn the main headlights on, the daytime running lights will turn off.
LOL Why didn't they just say, you can't turn them off all you can do is turn on the regular headlights.
Oh Well.... I find much of the owners manual is written that way. I suppose it has something to do with translation from Japanese to English.

PS An exception; If you are parked with the engine running and don't want the daytime running lights on, pull up on the emergency brake, that will turn them off. There is no way however, to turn them off while driving.
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?

Has anyone else done this? What did you buy and can you give detail of your installation?
Thanks,

I was looking into the FJ and that's how I came across the article. It may be irrelevant for you, but here it is, just in case...

The latest addition to the list of Toyota products with problems is the all-new 2007 FJ Cruiser.
"We were doing quality control activities and were inspecting our vendors where we source our wheels. We noticed they were improperly mounting tires onto the wheels," said Mr. Kwong. "We launched a special service campaign involving about 9,000 FJ Cruisers and took care of our customers, replacing the tires with new tires. It's another case of our policy of continuous improvement."
i love my fj but i HATE the traction control!

LOL, that's my biggest complaint also. I was disappointed the first time I tried to do a 360 in a snowy parking lot and the traction control said no way !
Not sure what you want to power up at the party, which is the deciding factor, but be careful if you want to power more than lights. ie no hot tubs or concert type sound systems or you may blow breakers. May want to consider renting a small generator set if your' eunsure. $20 - $40 for a night .... opposed to a fried electria system.
Cheers
My only dislike about the FJ so far.
early in the morning today I found two small crack spots on the window (when I took the car out of the garage after a week). Later in the evening I noticed a new crack spot. I am 100% sure that this new crack was new because I would have noticed it earlier in the morning.
I am almost 99% confident that noone did that on purpose.
I have searched on the web and found that a person was skeptical about buying the car because the front window is close to vertical and make it vulnerable to break.
I would really appreciate any comments/advices on this issue.
Thanks!
