2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Salt Spreader

Michelle, great question - the Base Line 240 #ME86FR and 400 #ME26FR handle dry or slightly damp rock salt and calcium blends well, but they’re not ideal for heavy, wet sand or thick mixes. That’s where the Blaster units #ME98FR and #ME48FR shine:…

Hey Ed! Yes, the Meyer Base Liner salt spreader #ME86FR includes a coarse brush auger to prevent material from flowing prematurely into the throat, which helps reduce clogging. The Blaster models #ME98FR and #ME48FR take that further: they use a…

Good question, Steve. On dry salt and a steady pace, the Meyer walk behind spreader #ME43FR will spread roughly 8–12 feet wide. You can dial the rate down with the control lever to narrow it for sidewalks or open it up for bigger driveways. The…

Dennis, the maintenance steps are identical - rinse, dry, grease bearings, and keep 20–25 PSI in the tires. The only difference is that stainless version #ME63FR will resist corrosion better so you may not need to touch it up with paint in the…

Troy, they’re similar but not identical. The #ME26FR Base Line uses the BL electronic controller, which mounts in the cab and gives you On/Off, Faster/Slower, and Vibrate buttons - that last button powers an optional vibrator kit if you add it later.…

Hey Brenda, for Base Line models like 6.3 Cu Ft #ME26FR and 3.7 Cu Ft #ME86FR, you get an in-cab touchpad controller with “fast, slow, vibrate” modes so you can tweak output without stopping (vibrator is not included with base line models). The…

The SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader for 2" Hitch - Gravity Feed w Auger #337TGSUVPROA and the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader for 1-1/4" or 2" Hitch #337TGSUV1B have a few differences. The #337TGSUVPROA has a…

Hey Roger, thanks for reaching out. We do carry the Meyer Base Line 400 Motorized Salt and Sand Spreader #ME26FR but I am sorry to say we do not offer a replacement motor for this. Your best bet for that will be to reach out directly to Meyer. They…

Alan, the #ME26FR installs really easily; the supplied harness connects directly to the battery with a 20-amp fuse and a quick-connect plug at the bumper. The controller runs off keyed power, so it shuts down when the ignition’s off. Current draw is…

Marcus, interesting idea. In theory, yes, both are 2 inch shank tailgate spreaders and could share the same receiver and wiring setup, so you could swap out Base Line #ME26FR or Blaster #ME48FR depending on the job. That said, the extra weight of…

Hey Ryan! Yes, the Meyer Base Line 400 Motorized Salt and Sand Spreader #ME26FR is designed to fit a 2" receiver. If you have a 2-1/2" or 3" receiver you can use a reducer like #e26YR or #e33YR. You will also need to run the wire for…

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…
