    Thanks Slowpoke! Actually I’m going back to what I used to drive before I moved to AZ and bought my FJ... has all wheel drive but it’s not a Jeep. ;)

    2011 FJ Cruiser Trail Teams - overland ready rig

    I find myself relocating to an area where offloading is not much of a thing so I am reluctantly selling my rig. I am selling my rig AS-IS and not parting it out. If you are considering purchasing this vehicle, check out my build thread and also my Instagram photos: 2011 FJ Cruiser Trail...

    Velociraptor Build - 2011 FJ Cruiser TT

    So I finally finished my rear cargo setup with help from my stepdad. It is modeled after Pfunk 's setup which I saw when he came to pickup some FJ stuff I sold him. I keep my recovery gear in the drawer, space on the bottom for a folding camp table, hiking poles and table legs, and an Indel...

    Velociraptor Build - 2011 FJ Cruiser TT

    I got my HAM license back in January and shortly afterwards I installed a Kenwood TM-D710GA 144/440MHz FM dual band transceiver Installation I mounted the main unit inside my Springtail Solutions basket in the rear of the vehicle so that it would be protected and high enough in the vehicle...

    Velociraptor Build - 2011 FJ Cruiser TT

    My last daily driver had an incredible sound system in it but I sold the vehicle before moving out west. I really loved the ride and the sound but the vehicle was built for the autobahn and not for offroad exploration. I recently added an OEM Audio Plus system to my rig and my expectations...

    Velociraptor Build - 2011 FJ Cruiser TT

    I recently added a PRG pre-cleaner to my snorkel to cut down on the dust intake. I empty the bowl when airing up. It also keeps rain from going down the snorkel. At some point I may replace this with a Donaldson TopSpin pre-cleaner that automatically ejects 85% of the dust.

    MaxTrax Mounting...?

    Yes, I have seen them mounted horizontally as well. Another option may be to mount them between the roof and the rack to save space (doesn't work with all racks). I have also seen them mounted behind roof light bar in an air dam like configuration (probably requires custom brackets).

    MaxTrax Mounting...?

    Given that your RTT and awning are taking up eligible rack positions I think you best bet is to either modify your Trasharoo to accommodate the trax or to mount them on the tire behind the Trasharoo as shown in the example photo below.

    MaxTrax Mounting...?

    I have a newer low profile BajaRack and I am using Fourtreks mounts plus Maxtrax mounting pins for my Maxtrax. If I get a RTT, I plan to rotate the mounts 180degrees opposite so that they lay on the side of the roof so that they do not take up any space on top.

    Thanks OneFastGeek, I haven't had a reason to use the strobe but it may be useful in a night time emergency situation to signal the need for help. Hopefully if I ever have a legitimate reason to use them they won't make a bad situation worse! LOL.

    Velociraptor Build - 2011 FJ Cruiser TT

    I have wanted a snorkel to reduce the amount of dust going into my air filter on a regular basis (AZ dirt roads are extremely dusty). A week after returning from Summit I met up with a cool ex-military dude named Jonathan who is one of the AZFJ.org gang. He helped me install my PRG Snorkel...

    I had planned to install an ARB-based breather kit before I left for Summit but I ran out of time. I like the ARB kit because it has larger diameter tubing than other kits which is less likely to get clogged. Thanks to @Briareos for his well written ARB Breather Install - Optimized for FJ...
