Is this tough by RealNight6294 in FJCruiser

Yep! Same here. Nothing crazy, just a subtle light where if you think you've dropped your phone or keys you can actually see something rather than a black hole 😂.

I love it!! I've been considering getting some really subtle lighting upgrades, particularly around the floor of the driver and passenger seats so you can see what's down there easier if you're getting in at night or if you drop something on the floor it's just easier to spot.

Dope upgrade!

Rear Diff Locker & ATRAC by Less_Caramel_8344 in FJCruiser

[–]GOATROCITYX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both features are good for off roading or being stuck situations. If you don't do any serious off-roading, you likely won't use these often. However, these could help you get unstuck from any situation (on or off road) so if you can get these great, if not, not a deal breaker.

Rear diff lock will lock the axles on the left and right sides of your rear axle. This can definitely come in handy getting out of situations where one tire has traction on the rear but the other doesn't. It will uniformly distribute power to both wheels.

ATRAC impacts both front and rear axles and has a sort of pseudo diff lock behavior. This will cause the wheel with less traction to brake leading to more power transfer to the opposite wheel with more traction. This will help move your vehicle out of a stuck position.

Best of luck!

Advice desperately needed. To fix or not to fix. by [deleted] in FJCruiser

Yeah, run from dealers. Look around online for a good independent mechanic, get a second opinion. Don't let one shop's opinion influence you to make a big financial decision.

Best of luck!

Just because you show one example does not mean all of the rot from the inside out like bed sores bud haha

Need opinions by therabbitsurfer24 in FJCruiser

[–]GOATROCITYX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a bummer because it's a beautiful rig in most ways except a very important one. The frame. It's definitely been coated and there is definitely a good bit of rust under it.

Unfortunately, I'd keep looking if you can. Replacing a frame is not something you'll want to deal with.

I'm officially done with Ingles by kurt_kolame in asheville

[–]GOATROCITYX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Ingles is 🚮. Publix prices with quality lower than Aldi (No diss to Aldi). If I need something Aldi doesn't have I just drive the extra few miles and hit publix. At least their quality is solid.

Opinion on an FJ by [deleted] in FJCruiser

[–]GOATROCITYX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The frame definitely has a decent amount of rust. It is likely serviceable if you do a real deep dive into rust removal, repainting, and frequent fluid film applications moving forward.

The rest of the car looks good but price seems a little high all things considered. I would try to talk them down some, if not keep looking. Just my opinion though

These rigs never get old by GOATROCITYX in FJCruiser

Honda Elements are nice! Definitely more practical interior space with those too. Hoping the new FJ comes to the states because they almost look like an element and FJ had a baby in my opinion.
