FJ Cruiser Seat Risers (Jackers) - Worth the Hype? Maybe not...
Переглядів 2,2 тис.5 місяців тому
I have seen and read many reviews on seat risers for the Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, 4runner, Lexus, and I have never seen a negative review. Granted, many of those reviewers are probably paid endorsers, but still, the idea of a simple mod that creates better seating support, was something I had to try for myself. So I did. This is what I think about it. For what it's worth, I'm 5'9"

FJ Cruisers Driving in Historic Snow at Mammoth Mountain (April 2023)
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Рік тому
The 2023 season has been historic for snowfall at Mammoth Mountain (Eastern Sierras). The main lodge has seen over 700 inches of snow (and counting), which is the most in recorded history. We took our family up to Mammoth Mountain with some friends on a recent trip. Here is part of our drive up the 395, to Canyon Lodge in April 2023.
Have you thought about adding a relay?
For this little mod, no
@@LiL13izzy7 the button from CH4X4 has a huge warning sticker on it about melting down if you don’t use a fuse.
What load range did you go with? P? XL? E?
Nah...sell it to me lol
FJ looks incomplete with no rack!
@@LiL13izzy7 absolutely
Thr squishy sound you hear is the brake master cylinder leaking internally and not the normal sound of pressurised brake fluid . The accumulator is suppossed to hold pressure for a couple more brakes pushes. It is not suppossed to get activated during all pedal pushes. The comforting fact is that it takes a lot driving, usually years until the master cylinder seals completely gives up and the dashboard abs warning lights with the beep noise comes up. Following this the brake accumulator will start working even when the car is idling until the motor burns itself up. Let me say this again, the squishy sound is not normal. Its your master cylinder slowly giving up. There are master cylinder rebuild kits available but if the rebuild is not done when you notice the early signs, even a rebuild cannot save the master cylinder and will require a replacement.
I always viewed this as one or the other not both at the same time.
Hi there, I have just installed a roof LED Light Bar but wish to change the switch to an OEM. The issue is the original switch wire that comes with the harness has only 2 wires. I'm so confused as all videos show 3 wires, can this be done still??. Also this is my second Bar can this run separately or they both need to work together? Thanks
i think your right I do more highway driving in my SR5 4runner & they are great. I got the 10ply E ones , had um on some sand, dirt roads, rain , they're good tires ,, their not rock climbers or mudder's for aggressive off roading but an extra MPG or 2 from not having some KO2's is worth it to me. 16 city & 22 highway. the highway is where they shine at
Is there a delete kit for the guage pod? I'm not a big fan of that being right there
I just turn the music up 😭
Thanks for the content - appreciate to work to capture all the details
I linked it in the video description!
Where did you get dispenser?
Great stereo system...
I started to watch the video on your wife’s RAV4 then came over here. I love this mod! I ordered the switch now to get ready for some soldering work!
Great! Let me know how it goes
2024. Those bins now $105 each. Smh. Id be down for $50 each
his putting usby port my brothers
so 3 years later, any issues come up? I have both the squishy sound and motor sound. I've had mine for 4 months and have noticed the motor sound just today. It happens exactly as you've demonstrated- every other depression of the pedal. But I've noticed mine when my engine was on. I noticed it first as I was parking. I put it in park and pressed the brake pedal a few times and that's when I noticed the pattern. Is your doing that only while the engine off? Or both? Thank you!
It does it both while the engine is on and off (it's just less obvious when the engine is on because it's so loud). No issue 3 years later (everything you see in the video is normal)
I don't get it, why do you have to open the rear door from the inside? It does look factory, nice job, but You are walking around to the outside to open the door anyway.
No different than having a door handle to open up from the inside. Some people like to camp in their FJs, and the inside door latch just makes it more convenient.
Ahhh, never thought of that! Sleeping in the rear. Then great idea,
What if green is connected to negative, will the indicator light when the switch is on still light up?
Green in this case, is meant to be connected to your power source (battery). If it was connected to negative, the circuit would not be complete, and therefore the switch would not work. Hope that helps.
Do you need specific USB to play Ottocast for carplay? I need for Esclade 2007 which has no USB How I can add one?
This is strictly a way to deliver electricity. Carplay requires a USB device that can transfer data to your stereo head unit - in which case you'll need to find a USB input into that. You can purchase some aftermarket solutions to help with that.
Hola amigo y que problema puede haber si voy directo a conectarme a batería el positivo y el negativo a cualquier tornillo..del auto ?? Saludos..
Where can i buy the cushion for the under side of the helmet since i got a replica so i can put it on for some comfort? Thanks in advance
The replica helmets are slightly smaller than the real ones. They also fit into specific holes in the real helmets, so you will likely not be able to fit them correctly. You can find them used on eBay though, and give it your best shot.
Do you have to open the window first?
The mod is to unlatch the rear window lock. So..this will allow you to open the window from the inside. No need to "open the window first."
OMG!!! mine has the same noise. Thank you. 🙏
Smart family conscious consumer. I often wonder what could be the thinking behind all of these vehicles looking like cartoons SPEEDING down the roadways. Nothing good to become of it. Stay smart!
Thanks for the videos, been binge watching a bunch of them! (newbie fj cruiser owner here). :)
10 usb chargers .. a bit overkill? 😮 .. still good job dude I will subscribe and like ur content thx
This is the best how to video on UA-cam I found on this topic! Thank you for explaining this like a normal human being!!
Thanks! I'm glad to hear it was helpful.
Omg 😮 too much snow lol mine is like a tank in. The snow. With preditor tires 😊
I love mine. I really appreciate the back up camera!
This USB port with Battery Voltage LED's is only available on eBay. The USB port is no longer available on Amazon.
Thanks for flagging - I think they've upgraded them to USB-C now, so the previous link is outdated. I've updated the links now so that you can find some of the newer ones, like this one: amzn.to/3wA4qXE
I bought Wisconsin collector plates for a 3000GT, $200 plus a $75 registration (one time) fee. Since then I’ve spent all of 0$ from 2017-2024 to drive my car. The car cannot be driven in the month of January but it’s winter here anyway and it’s a sports car so it’s in storage. Commifornia truly has to be one of the worst states to be a resident of. I am sure it’s awesome to visit but actually residing there sounds horrible.
Thanks for chiming in, and sharing your experience.
I am very late to this party, but great UA-cam! Does the door lock have to be in the unlocked position for this latch to work? My suspicion is yes, since it works in conjunction with the door latch outside, but just thought I would ask. Thank you again. Cheers!
You are right. the door latch must be unlocked in order to operate the mod. I highly recommend adding the rear-window release mod alongside the door latch mod, which will enable you to lock/unlock the door from the inside via a button: ua-cam.com/video/5AVgDLsJHuw/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
@@LiL13izzy7 that’s another great UA-cam. Thank you!

The website doesn’t work for the keychain anymore. Dang it’s very cool.
You're right. I can see that the URL doesn't work anymore. I actually was able to make my order through DMing them on Instagram. Give it a shot if you have an Instagram account: @steeluniqueshop
Brilliant! Thank you!!

Hi, curious what kind of car seat you have? Any issues with it fitting in the fj?
I have two of the Chicco kidfit 2-in-1. I have 2 kids, but occasionally add a 3rd (forward-facing) seat in there for my nephew, and I can fit 3 in there. When my kids were younger (rear-facing), we'd take the RAV4, which was easier with 4 normal doors. I made a short video about car seats in the FJ here: ua-cam.com/video/UY-0GOlRcvs/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
How’s mpg?
About the same as my previous set of tires (Kumho AT51), which was around 18 mpg or so. Given the FJ's 19 gallon tank, and the fact that the light comes on with about 4 gallons remaining till empty (15 gallons used), I divide 270 (which is about the most I can squeeze out before the light comes on) by 15 gallons, giving me 18.
Florida in 2024: Brand new Toyota 4Runner: $59 a year. Cost is by WEIGHT not by VALUE. God bless FLORIDA. (And no SMOG test and no vehicle inspections.) Have a nice day.

How can I turn off the Toyota FJ door lock and unlock tone?
They forgot to install your muffler bearings take it back fix tire to rim 😊
Bro, what brand are the shift knob?
I did a video on the shift knobs here: ua-cam.com/video/Xe1VtMnqqr0/v-deo.html. The brand I bought might be out of stock, but you can search "FJ Cruiser billet shift knobs" on Amazon to find what you're looking for.
Mine was like new it’s a 2012 & I had a new windshield 5 days ago & Safelite split mine & didn’t even take responsibility 😡
That happened to me too!!!!
Safelite isn’t a good business
My 2013 fj has a same sound when you press the break 😊
the motor sound? While the car is running too?
Thank you for this video. I don't even own a Toyota, let alone an FJ, but this video was succinct, informative, and everything I need to get started. Thank you for that 🙏
Glad you found it helpful.
