Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) & Information: Yakima Sparetime
http://handymannyfj.blogspot.com/2012/12/yakima-spartime.html
Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) and Information. Sunday, December 16, 2012. I picked up a Sparetime from a very nice couple on Craigslist. They had picked it up this year and barely used it. Now that they were getting rid of their Jeep, they didn't need it. It was practically brand new. I also noticed that the short tongue piece was missing. After contacting Yakima via email, they sent me the tongue, the bolt and a hex key to me the next day - free! I might swap out the hitch next since I don't nee...

Honda Ridgeline Modifications(Mods) & Information: February 2010
http://handymannyridgeline.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Honda Ridgeline Modifications(Mods) and Information. Monday, February 1, 2010. Next was the positioning of the bar. I eyeballed it and used a jack stand with a towel on top, so as not to scratch the paint, to hold the position while I tightened. It looks like I didn't center it too well since it is slightly drooping on the passenger side. This should be an easy fix of loosening the two bolts, positioning up a little, and tightening again.

Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) & Information: Alarm system
http://handymannyfj.blogspot.com/2011/11/alarm-system.html
Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) and Information. Saturday, November 12, 2011. It was a real pain to put in all the settings I wanted. You have to go through so many hoops to make it work that I finally had it down after the 6th time! After all the settings were in place it worked great and I liked the motion sensor. Now if I forget to lock my doors it passively arms. Didn't get much of a discount on the car insurance though. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Patapsco rides and misc. info. I bough...

Honda Ridgeline Modifications(Mods) & Information: Yakima 23H mounts with bike rack
http://handymannyridgeline.blogspot.com/2010/03/yakima-23h-mounts-with-bike-rack.html
Honda Ridgeline Modifications(Mods) and Information. Thursday, March 11, 2010. Yakima 23H mounts with bike rack. I decided to buy the roof rack since Yakima said that the 23H Mighty Mounts will fit on it. Since I had them from the FJ I mounted the bike rack on top using them. It was fairly easy to do so and now I have the option of mounting my bike on the roof, hitch, or bed. Yakima Lockjaw with 23H Mighty mounts. Rear mighty mount w/ lock.

Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) & Information: GOBI Ladder
http://handymannyfj.blogspot.com/2012/07/gobi-ladder.html
Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) and Information. Friday, July 13, 2012. So I picked up a ladder from a local guy who rolled his FJ for a really good deal. That was the good part. The bad part - missing brackets. So I call up GOBI. Finally, after multiple emails that went unanswered and phone calls that weren't answered, I received the brackets over a month later. I think the design needs to be reworked in the following areas:. Other than that it looks great once it's on. Ridgeline Mods and Info.

Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) & Information: Driver's seat falling apart!
http://handymannyfj.blogspot.com/2013/10/driver-seat-falling-apart.html
Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) and Information. Tuesday, October 1, 2013. Drivers seat falling apart! After noticing a small hole in the back of the driver's seat, I didn't pay much attention to it. When a bag snagged a "wire" and ripped through the vinyl, I noticed! I went to the local Toyota dealership and they looked at it and said it wouldn't be covered under my extended warranty since its considered damage! Rip again without spring sticking out. Yellow metal rings holding zipper. Well, I coul...

Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) & Information: Sony Aftermarket Stereo
http://handymannyfj.blogspot.com/2014/07/sony-aftermarket-stereo.html
Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) and Information. Saturday, July 12, 2014. The next step was to take off the two screws on the sides of the stereo panel (should be color coded to your FJ, mine is black). They are located at the towards the top on the sides where you took off the silver trim panels. Take those off and then pull forward from the bottom first then the top. The clips should pop out easily. I was able to pass the microphone through a small gap between the Metra kit and the stereo, so it ...

http://handymannyfj.blogspot.com/2013/10/boztec-cb-mount.html
Toyota FJ Cruiser Modifications(Mods) and Information. Tuesday, October 1, 2013. My handmade mount was not standing up to the weight if the antenna and spring. I decided to buy a Boztec mount after reading up on it. I also gave Boztec a callto discuss the difference between the HAM and CB mounts. Apparently the owner gave me a call back! After discussing the differences I went with the CB mount. I also ordered a new cable and connector. I was impressed at the thickness and quality of the mount. Well, I c...
