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!
 


 

The Trucktrend.com blog reports that according to SEMA, the FJ Cruiser ranked 19th in sales over the last two years. This may be good news to some FJ owners, but we’re a little disappointed. We think that as the FJ continues to gain popularity, the variety and quality of aftermarket support will continue to improve.

Another interesting statistic from the article is where most owners spend their aftermarket dollars. Trucktrend states that over half of those surveyed spent at least some money on mods. Larger tires came in number one, with air filters and exhaust not far behind. It looks like most of us are trying to keep our MPG’s as high as possible. Other popular mods include wheels, suspension upgrades, oil & lube, hitches, and of course cleaning supplies.

If high gas prices and your FJ’s mileage has you concerned, you will soon have another option. Diesel Toyz   posted information on their website today about a forthcoming CRD conversion kit for FJ Cruisers and 2005+ Tacomas. Their kits are due out sometime in 2008, and will contain everything you need to swap a RA428 CRD into your FJ. The RA428 is the 2.8 liter, 16 valve DOHC 4-Cylinder diesel engine that was used in Jeep Liberty’s from 2005-2006. The price for the kit has not been released, but Diesel Toyz did mention that you’ll need to find your own engine. Read more here .
