    Hello everyone,

    I will be trading my 2011 FJ tomorrow for a 2013 DC V6 4x4 with all the bells and whistles. I've loved my FJ and am hesitant to change but I'm really missing the utility of a truck bed.

    I'm a founding member of LA land krewsers and have made dozens of great friends wheeling and wrenching together. I plan to continue wheeling every chance I get. However every chance I get is dependent upon kids baseball and my tournament fishing schedule.
    I fish atleast 12-15 salt water kayak tournaments per year and I'm tired of pulling a trailer just to cary my kayak. So tomorrow I'll be leaving FJ land and joining you Tacos.

    My FJ has a toytec 3" lift, some armor, and a set of dedicated wheeling tires 34x 10.50 Super swampers. Yep they fit with no rub. They acutally measure out around 33.25.

    Anyway thanks already for a great wealth of info.

    C
