Ok so all the points u made are actually fairly universal to any vehicle that u may want to overland. And when said breathers, know that u are not alone. TOYOTA DID THAT ON EVERY 4X4 THEY MADE! I had to do breather mods for both axles on my tundra. And I will be doing a snorkel as well. I’m just waiting on it to ship. Awesome video man!

Great video and love your FJ. Just one comment on the snorkel; these are mostly to improve the quality of air intake (up near the roof there will be less dust compared to in the wheel well where the stock air intake sits). Yes it will also help reduce water intake if you go through deep water, BUT the caveat is that there are many other components that will get f*cked when you go that deep so the snorkel isn't going to safe you. Anyway, just saying that people should be very careful treading deep water no matter if their snorkel reaches 100 meters high!

Awesome video man! I recently picked up a rhino rack platform on fb marketplace for a decent price. Yes, even after watching the videos you mentioned about those racks failing. From my research, the system seems pretty sturdy on the FJs. Not super thrilled about the low off road rating, but I'm not planning on putting a RTT on top. Definitely feel like a nice roof rack is one of the most useful upgrades for the FJ as it has such a small cargo area. Gotta upgrade my suspension and get some skid plates and mayybe a bumper and winch in the future. So many things I wanna do! Lol

I have a RhinoRack pioneer platform with backbone on my Aussie FJ - from memory, when I bought it the manual gave a clear load capacity rating specific to the FJ and it was an amount that was more than enough for me - however, now when I check RhinoRack’s website specifications it’s all become a bit guarded / vague I think that whilst utes (single or twin cab) have great overall load and towing capacity, pretty much all of them have low roof load capacity (as per the Tyler Thompson and Ronny Dahl threads) - this is not really an issue with most wagons

Mmmm.. The South African versions here already have the front Diff and Transfercase breathers relocated to next to the Fusebox But yeah, also had to extend the rear locker and diff breather to the front. Also looked far and wide for the load ratings of the roof mounts over here without any luck. But every second FJ here has a Alu-Cab Expedition Tent(rtt) on the roof, and that thing is like 80kg with full 270 awnings, the lot without any issues on our forums. But mine also felt a bit loose around the corners with a FrontRunner Roofrack and Tentco RTT. About to do a full Tough Dog suspension upgrade

For the fj, the Old Man Emu heavy duty dront struts are rated 500lbs above stock. And the medium is 300lbs above stock. And light is 100lbs. I have the heavy fronts and medium rears, adding roughly 800lbs of capacity to the fj. I've also installed JBA upper control arms with heavy duty ball joints. It doesn't really help with weight capacity, however it does help control (on and offroad) the weight as well as bring caster and camber geometry back to good compared to being lifted with stock control arm and ball joints

But the breathers are one of the most important things you can do. I wish I would've done mine sooner so I didn't destroy my rear diff. 😕 oh well, live and learn. But I've also been stuck in deep water and actually sucked in a little bit, thankfully the air filter stopped it 👐 got lucky with that one for sure.

The only problem in the FJ is the torque. May not be a problem for rocks but in the sand it’s very important. The chassis, body, suspension and options are the best but it’s not taken as seriously due to the low torque compared to competitors
