You can get panel filter air boxes that sit off to the side of the engine, they flow better even with genuine filter elements and don't have the heat soak issue of the one on the engine, FJ's over here in Australia all came with the one off to the side, and TRD make a really good version too.
Only 65 whp lol u guys are hilarious your so used to special cars to me 65 extra wheel horsepower is life changing lol happy for your continued success love the channel and truck
For those wondering (like I was) the tires and wheel specs are: Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 285/70/17 on 17in Fifteen52 Analog HD satin black wheels. Sick ride Larry!
DON'T IGNORE A-TRAC. It's identified as a traction aid, but it's actually a REALLY good ABS system. It literally competes with any 4wd on technical tracks
Yeah A-TRAC has nothing to do with “off road experience.” lol no amount of off road experience can get power from one wheel to another when one is up in the air.
Dude....Lary. how cold is it there!!?? You r BUNDLED up. If u were in this Dam SNOW in NY lord knows what you would be wearing. I do t even see your breathe when your talking. Still love ya broski
I’m in the UK and there’s a few of these for sale as imports but this build has sold me on the FJ, especially as a 6 speed manual it gives me a fucking hard on
When I took my 06 4Runner out to pismo I sent it a little to hard on a jump and my motor Mount actually failed and my motor was tilted to one side lol. Dmz fab welded and gusseted it up real nice!!
A-Trac has nothing to do with how experienced you are. It uses the brakes to simulate a diff locker in the front, so you can basically have all 3 diffs locked to get out of anything.
Plastic and full sun don't mix too well, They get faded and brittle after some good time in the sun. Also saves you from having to padlock the mount or risk them getting stolen while you're at the shops hahaha.
@@tougetime8509 who tf needs maxtrax at the shops haha. And you're clearly missing the point of the OP which was keeping them mixed with camera gear, the value of whats in that boot is probably worth the same as a car, I'd prefer to keep the dirt on the outside if it were me.
@@samgambling7312 Do maxtrax just magically appear on your vehicle once you get to the offroad location? I was under the impression you had to cart them around with you like every other piece of recovery gear, That must be why the knock off ones I have were so cheap! :P OP asked why, I gave him a reason, May not be THE reason but it is A reason why someone might do such. See tons of 4wds getting around with them mounted on the outside of the car, Usually completely cooked from being left in the sun non stop and most likely not even worth having on there at that point. As far as the dirt is concerned unless you're using them in mud a quick tap and 99% of the dirt will just fall off and seeing where/what he is usually photographing I dare say the last 1% is pretty negligible.
Hysterical funny stuff guys 6 speed manual Trans spit up my coffee on my high viz Yello shirt then choked 🤣 on the foot pedal your making what 600 k torque now gives ya skid marks in your shorts scary huh 🙄 booo haha gotta have light if your going to go faster than the speed of light light back to the future 😜 maybe lmao ROTFLMAO you like that wheezer sound lol ought to hear a 84 mm holset turbo pull up hard hauling 22/ tons 44000 lbs Up a 7 % grade while accelerating SERIOUSLY enjoyed it in process of getting an fj for bucket list trip out west
#Goosegear storage systems or pelican cases are your friends. You can install aircraft tie down strips if you do not get a storage system to tie your pelicans down. If you hit a woop your valuable gear will be everywhere. Just my two cents again🤣😂😅🙌🏾. Thanks for the advice about the GM throughout bearing! Truly a fan of your photos and appreciate all you do to document exceptional automotive content.
Check your coolant level often. The silicone hoses will displace water though them. You will see the dust sticking to the hoses in the shape of the water droplets.
Question. How do you keep enough fuel in that fj? They don't get very good mileage and the fuel tank is so small. That is literally the only thing that keeps me from buying one. Other than that they are amazing vehicles.
Should look into a full exhaust system. The Y-pipe and exhaust manifold are highly restrictive. URD makes a system for supercharged 4L. Their equal length headers make 22hp and 34ft lbs of torque at the wheels. I forget what the numbers were on the Y-pipe but they're pretty good also.
Larry, great video. I jut got my FJ and am in research mode. I know this is a couple years old now, but can you tell me how the SC and truck have held up since then? Also, what wheels are you running? I like that plain jane look.
Would it be bad to install this on a 4.0 with 190k miles? I really wouldnt mind putting a nee engine in my 4runner but wouldnt wanna murder the original one too premature.
I'm just wondering about ur throwout bearing. I'm at 145k miles and it squeals like crazy. Bought it at 127k and it's been speaking nonstop foronths now
BTW I'd love to see you do a Hoonigan main channel episode where you go hit some trails with the boys, find a second car for fun, maybe compare your 07 FJ to a new Bronco? idk but it would be cool just to see you go wheelin just for fun instead of race chasing

Thank you
Really digging the amount of off-road content lately. With all the overland rigs around this is a cool time to be into automotive
great build, these fj"S are starting to grow on me
I just wish the blind spots weren't so terrible. A spotter is almost mandatory getting through a grocery store parking lot.

@@lexus_offroad_adventures that's exactly what I thought when he said that.
Jeep has the same thing. They call their BLD for brake-lock-diff. I think every auto manufacturer integrates the ABS into the traction control now tbh
Love my 07 fj 6spd awd
Give us the Donk already !!!! Been waiting for months
Cool build. I'm not usually a huge fan of the fj cruisers but that color and wheel/tire setup is so nice.
The tires rock and FJ always rocks. Most reliable fun to own and drive SUV on or off road.
They are fun but Idk if mine is funner than my 80 series 🤔
@@jraddd3477 different vehicles, the FJ80 is a classic more in lines of FJ71

This thing turned out great.

Guys please please please, what upper light bar did you use, where to buy it? it seems soo cool
That truck is amazing makes me want one now and the sound of the supercharger is awesome

Auto is way better.

how fast were you going at 8:58 video time?
And yet that Toyota air intake box is still louder than the supercharger whine haha this thing is rad, love FJs!!
FJ 👍 .. do love that supercharger sound.
I don't know if has been asked I couldn't find it but can you elaborate on the throw out bearing you used? I need to change mine 😭
Love the off road lights on top 👍
One year update on the supercharger please!
I can relate to this! You are very happy with your ride. It’s a good feeling.
Go more into details about the GM throwout bearing plz. Thought the only other fix is the Clutch Masters hydraulic throwout bearing?
What is the part number for the GM Throw out bearing you installed?. . . .Awesome build. . . . Now I have to get a SUPERCHARGER!!!
I have a 2010 4runner(same engine as the FJ) and it’s soooo tempting to get this supercharger for the car
I love that FJ!

Well im jealous and need a supercharger now...nice truck buddy
I'm surprised you havent put in a full, high flow exhaust so the engine can actually breathe lol
this really makes me want to supercharge my v8 4runner. wish magnuson made a kit for it
Who tf has roof racks and still keeps their maxtrax mixed in with their camera gear?

LEDs for the license plate would be sick and since it is a 2007, interior would be nice to have. Nice build.
Come to Namibia to drive some real dunes with that beast.
What rock sliders are those?
0:22 hey it me
What GM part number did you use to change the throw bearing?
Yes PLEASE what did you use lol. I'd love to not have to pay $500 for the URD one

As a headphone user watching this video I wonder how a camera guy can end up with effectively only the left channel for audio.
15:42 camera guy driving, oof
65 whp is actually a good gain. Probably about 50-60 torque as well. A smaller pulley is also a possibility for more power later on
Bad ass rig !!!
If I were you, I'd use at least the trans cooler. They're useful even in manual transmission vehicles when off-roading
If lighting is a issues check out bx built. If you want more grunt check out doug thourly headers.
The correct toilet paper to Sriracha ratio
Question. How do you keep enough fuel in that fj? They don't get very good mileage and the fuel tank is so small. That is literally the only thing that keeps me from buying one. Other than that they are amazing vehicles.
Fj's actually get pretty decent fuel milage
Buildout is the best Congrats to thecteam
@9:02 ,, two hands Larry , grab your gear and get back on there .

How is the engine holding up with the supercharger?
Larry, great video. I jut got my FJ and am in research mode. I know this is a couple years old now, but can you tell me how the SC and truck have held up since then? Also, what wheels are you running? I like that plain jane look.
Size and make of steel rims. What offset? Rig looks sick
I love those old school wheels.
I need a friend like Leif for my 2007 FJ! Can you list out your upgrades parts list?
Yo! My '11 Tacoma uses the same 6 spd and the throw out bearing's been chirpin since always. What GM bearing did you replace it with?
Would it be bad to install this on a 4.0 with 190k miles? I really wouldnt mind putting a nee engine in my 4runner but wouldnt wanna murder the original one too premature.
Did you ever get an answer else where? I’m in the same boat right now
Larry, how much has your MPG changed with the new Supercharger? Do you have to run premium blend gasoline now?
hey guys I wonder if it's a 6 speed manual... he didn't make it very clear in the video
Them fj are like 90% auto and 10% manual.
Looks like you need some storage racks built back there.
And some LED cab lights
Nice set up! Mind me asking what are the specs of your tires and did you lift? Thanks boss!👊🏽
dam look at L.C go! Rip it brutha!! the editing is hilarious 😂👌👌
Is that a paint job or a wrap? I love the color, do you know what it’s called?
Hey larry! your side sun visors are flipped! left is on right! 1:06
Are you still using regular gas and what’s your mpg since your upgrade?
What head unit are you running. 5rh gen 4runner media update. Thank you
Which magnusson supercharger kit did you guys get? It’s the higher end one right?
do c stand and medium rollers fit in the fj?
Did you do the inner fender reinforcement? Might want to do that before the front end starts to fall off.
I wish I could do that to my rav4 lol it sounds great
What type of radio is that?

Larry is now ready to enter the King of the Hammers race...after he cleans his engine bay! [kidding]
what roof light bar is that?
Wait, what? Because it's a 6-speed is 4wd full time? Is that specific to the FJ?
Yeah, that's not a universal thing. Definitely an FJ thing.
100 series landcruiser and 200 series are full-time 4x4
The sand so rough and stiff where you guys live
Is this a 6 speed manual?

Yo does the fj have an exhaust?
Does the supercharger kit come with a base map or is he driving around without a tune ?
It came with a tune
What made it better was i believe it to be a sasuke sticker on the window
Its automatic transmission right?
my left ear enjoyed the video
Is that a 6 speed manual?
Is it a manual or auto?
Why is he passing off a 14 TTUE as an 07. Has been done up as a faux TTUE?
my xj makes the same sound but i dont have a supercharger
So ......... is it a six speed manual?
where's your shovel to go with that tp tho
Hey king, could you tell us more about that throw out barring. I think I’ve watch all your videos but I don’t know if I’ve seen that.
