    Hey all.
    Do you know a good garage where to do lift kits, exhaust and intake to FJ Cruiser?

    Also.
    Does anyone have experience with Al Futtaim not passing issues under warranty if the car is lifted?

    Cheers

    Correct, most of us here at DO are regulars at Shibu’s Garage.

    Thanks.
    Yes, I remember about Shibu and I will pay a visit (although I wrote few messages and just answered to one… Also it’s on the other side of the town from me!).

    But, what is the experience you guys have with the warranty?
    Anyone with mods had issues?

    Galo. If your car is lifted and if anything goes wrong with any of the components related to suspension ie, UCA , bushes etc etc then its highly likely that the dealer will not entertain you under warranty for that particular defect.

    BTW I believe that as long as one regularly services his FJ and is able to keep the dust away from engine and transmission nothing should go wrong with the FJ (Just my 0.02 cents.) Its an ultra reliable, powerful and an extremely capable 4×4.

    I drive a 2016 fj and I recently got it serviced from Shibu (20k service) and paid 1/5 of what the dealer had quoted me. I have now technically voided my mechanical warranty and Im not a bit concerned as i know its a “”T O Y O T A”” .

    Shibu is good, only issue is he hardly ever answers or replies 😀

    I did my skidplate there and am very happy with it. Tried to contact him for roof rack fabrication, but he never responded once, and i don’t think i’ll be able to go back and forth from Qusais much …

    So if you have time on your hands, by all means 😀

    i have a lift kit, air intake and larger wheels, Toyota continue to look after the warranty with no issues. Miss a service on the other hand and they get all touchy!!!
