Supercharged FJ Cruiser w/Custom Overland Trailer - Full Walkaround

We recently had a visit from Rob and Crissi Knasel of Triad Expeditions (@triadexpeditions). Rob gave us the tour of their customized and supercharged FJ Cruiser that has more muscle for hauling their gear off-road. We also get the tour of their custom built overland teardrop trailer that features: reinforced under armor, rugged fendors, two mountain bike racks, grill holder, holds a full tandem kayak, and more.
Also, stay tuned in the next couple weeks as we outfit the Triad crew with some solid gear organizers.

Thank You, Blue Ridge Overland Gear Crew, for the opportunity to share our rig with the overlanding community.

[@dangomez2394]

Triad Expeditions unbelievable FJ Cruiser! Thank you for sharing.

[@krmatiu]

Triad Expeditions nice FJ, how did you mount the jack behind the spare tyre?

[@fosmonaut3554]

Coolest FJ ever!

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

It is pretty sweet!

[@SHWELL11]

That is a great setup. I dont think I saw any holes in his thinking. Looks like he got it RIGHT! Thanks for sharing!

[@st8ton]

Whoa! I love seeing builds like this. Thoughtfully purpose built with all the goodies.

[@UpintheAir.stream]

Thank You, We have spent a ton of time on it, Blue Ridge Overland Gear has been the icing on the cake for organizing our gear.

[@MrRayMac1963]

Those bike racks are fantastic.

[@kyleburns9439]

This is awesome man! I’m an engineer so I start drooling over the type modularity that you built into your trailer haha

[@UpintheAir.stream]

Thank You, I wish that I had pursued a career in engineering, it probably would have helped me sleep better at night.

[@brisonpalmer6730]

awesome stuff love all the cool mods to the trailer

[@chadhansen5057]

What an absolute unit

[@ast0nmart1n1]

Thank you mentioning the Scheel-Mann seats! I road trip from VA to NC (7-8 hour trip) to visit family. And the stock 08 FJC seats are not comfortable, I am definitely looking into these because of the lumbar and arm-rest options alone!

[@davao0506]

oh my God...thats so awesome..nice build

[@danwhiteman2529]

Awesome Rig!

[@ronz6214]

What a great setup!

[@markcasper6940]

awesome setup!

[@Idtelos]

I need that magnuson supercharger on my 14' FJ Cruiser...

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

It's a beast.

[@OverlandTrax]

Nice video, thanks for sharing 👍

[@aninditachatterjee1229]

That look likes like a beast

[@mtsengel6998]

OMG that's MONSTER

[@lonesomecricket7721]

[@Chicanoverland]

Suave rig my fellow FJ owner!

[@cnc75adventures49]

Wow 🤩

[@toddallen443]

Love your Fj , just wanted to let you know my FJ is a 2007 with a Magnuson supercharger. I have no problems at all with it and love it.

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

Nice!

[@alexserna5187]

fj the best

[@NigelNaughton]

Nice build and doesn't seem like it's superfluous. You see so many builds that have stuff just to have it.

[@seanbailey8545]

You don't think a caravan and a gas BBQ isn't excessive?.

[@Gunn4u]

Would love info on the motor upgrades and train . I have a 2010

[@alfredocarpaneto5976]

Amazing. But, you need to get those battery terminal leads on the aux trailer batteries covered up, all those metal parts bouncing around and it is bound to arc the terminals.

[@telfow1]

maybe you missed the metal bracket around and on top the battery's it looks to be very well built.

[@araimages]

LOVE this set up, need info of your supercharger, where, what brand and how much? I have a 2007 that needs this. Thank you.

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

He said the brand is Magnuson, and that it was a limited-run made for a forum group he was a part of. They got like 10 FJ owners together and did a group buy of some kind. He also talked about the programming being tricky because there were 3 different engines in his year (2010). I would talk to him for more details @triadexpeditions on Instagram. Cheers, C.T.

[@reneegalvan7]

Who else saw the black rifle coffee ☕️ 🤟🤟

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

Mmm... coffee...

[@ransomcarroll7833]

What gears did you go with?

[@stephenhope7319]

Not sure I know of the seat company you talked about, "Slowman"? I have looked at Corbeau, Recaro, Carid and Sparco. Some are racing and sparecly padded, but Corbeau seem comfy. Any thoughts?

[@efrainserranonegron5490]

Where did you get does sears, they look comfortable, mean looking and you didn’t loose your arm rest?

[@Innovade]

What front bumper and wheels are those?

[@Cooperd0g]

Is she back?!?!?!

[@UpintheAir.stream]

Keith, I am not telling, you will just have to see in Part Two : )

[@Jimbobwia]

Would you mind posting the brand of seat replacment you used?

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

We believe Scheel Mann, but you would need to confirm with Triad Expedtions.

[@jnava121]

TRD / Toyota used to have contract with magnuson to build the supercharger but now you can just buy direct from them

[@fjmattchasindirt9718]

You mentioned gears but not what ratio with all that weight.

[@edbowejr6130]

Were can you get those gas tanks? I have a 16 4runner and would love 60 gallons on board

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

Long Range Automotive. @triadexpeditions is a US distributor.

[@UpintheAir.stream]

Ed, You can contact me for details regarding the Longe Range Automotive tanks, made in Australia, by emailing me at [e-mail]

[@DaLizMs]

Just my shoulder burns on long drives. Never my back,neck etc.

[@Constax]

Used to have that until I ditched leaving my hand on the 10 o'clock position and rested it down on 7.

[@prophetseven728]

That where a lot of that weight is coming from 60 gallons!?! Where they going where there will not be gas for 900 Miles?

[@jreca]

"270 awning"?

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

That means an awning that opens to 270 degrees, or 3/4 of a circle.

[@alive4082]

Transmission mods....

[@tslsa229]

Yeah curious what were the transmission mods?
