Latest News | FJC Magazine - For FJ Cruiser Owners and Enthusiasts

Latest News

We’ve been thinking about ways to increase power & mileage when off-road for a while now. Underdog Racing Development (URD) has offered a custom stainless steel Y-pipe for a while, but at $459, it was just a little to steep for us.

Well, we don’t have to wait anymore! Our friends over at URD have teamed up with Doug Thorley to produce a less expensive version of their Y-Pipe. Coming in at only $189, this product will now be affordable for many more FJ owners.

Please note that while this y-pipe will increase power & mileage, it is probably not legal for on-road use in all states. Do not use this product on-road without checking your local and/or state emissions laws.

BajaRack Releases Rack for the FJ Cruiser

Written by FJC Magazine

BajaRack Adventure Equipment recently released a bolt-on roof rack for the FJ Cruiser. The FJ BajaRack is the least expensive option on the market, priced at just $540. The rack holds at least 150lbs of your gear. Many manufacturers are reluctant to ‘officially’ quote more than the stock 150lbs, but our guess is that this rack could hold more). Standard accessories such as shovel/axe mounts and Hi-Lift mounts are available.

All-Pro / Currie Rock Jock Dana 60

Written by FJC Magazine

All-Pro Off-Road just announced a replacement rear-end for the FJ Cruiser. This Dana 60 setup upgrades your rear end from the OEM 8” to 9.5”, providing extra strength. According to All-Pro, it also increases clearance under the driveshaft, and does not result in a loss of ground clearance at all. For those looking to really beef up their FJ, this may be a great option (although a SFA may be a better first step). The setup is not cheap at $2200 ($3500 for your choice of gears & an ARB locker), but it’ll certainly help you bullet-proof your FJ. Full details here.

FJ Information Galore!

In addition to the new FJ Wiki (www.fjpedia.com) that is currently being built (please be patient, wiki’s take a while to grow), there are dozens of forums, clubs, and websites full of FJ Cruiser information.

We spent this morning trolling the Google search results to find good sources of information. We also were able to compile a pretty good list of RSS links to some of the larger forums out there. Hopefully you’ll find this information useful and time saving, we certainly do!
