This factory service and repair manual is tied to the 2007 FJ Cruiser specifically — the 4.0L V6 stamped 1GR-FE, and the 4WD or RWD driveline the truck left the plant with — so the clearance you measure against and the tightening sequence you follow are the figures Toyota published for this year and this vehicle, not an approximation carried in from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2007 FJ Cruiser. Six recalls sit on the federal record for this model year. One covers the front seat belt anchorage: the retractors for the front driver and passenger seat belts are mounted in the access door (rear door) panels, and cracks can occur in the panel around the lower retractor anchor. A second covers exterior lighting, where light intensities above the maximum allowable limit could cause increased glare for oncoming traffic. A third covers the front seat heater, where a damaged copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire. The remaining three are labeling recalls: one for vehicles not equipped with load carrying capacity modification labels, where incorrect load carrying capacity modification labels could result in the vehicle being overloaded; a Southeast Toyota recall for failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, “Tire Selection and Rims,” where a driver may overload a vehicle, which may increase the risk of a crash; and a Gulf States Toyota recall under the same standard, where the vehicle does not meet the standard requirements. Owners have logged 785 complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 82 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are inspecting a retractor anchor in the rear access door, tracing a heated-seat circuit, or working to a torque figure on the 4.0L V6, the manual holds you to Toyota’s own procedure for the 2007 FJ Cruiser.
