    They are the 17" FJ alloy wheels. BS is like 4.79 or something like that. I'm running 1.25 spacers behind mine. Makes them stick out about an inch past the upper fender well. Love the look!

    Much worse than the tire wear was the bump steering. I don't know how you drove that thing back and forth from AU.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    I hardly noticed the bump steer. Guess my Chevy got me used it. It had some steering issues.

    Congrats as well. :cheers:

    Also, holy CRAP that's a big baby. Good work :)

    Wife and I had our first 2 weeks ago. Good luck with the routine, lol. We thought the same thing. It's basically whatever baby wants, baby gets. According to our pediatrician, it's like that for a good 10-12 weeks before you can get them on any sort of a sleep schedule. The upside is that they can't get in to any bad sleep habits for a while, gives you and the missus a chance to kinda trial and error it for a while before you can screw anything up. :p

    That said, our daughter seems to want to eat every 3 hours like clockwork, so I guess that's somewhat of a schedule. It's made a coffee drinker out of me. Mt. Dew just wasn't quite cutting it any more.

    Oh, also... buddy of mine recommended this book, and it's been awesome:

    http://www.amazon.com/Baby-411-Clea...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1320182466&sr=1-1

    It's saved a lot of stupid question for my wife and me. Things like, "Yes, the poop is supposed to look like that," and "Yes, she's going to get the hiccups like 10 times a day," etc.

    Anyway, enough of a threadjack for stuff pretty much everyone else in here could give a crap about.

    Back to your regularly scheduled Taco talk.

    Congratulations to you too!!



    Most infants are chubby, he will grow up and the baby fat goes away. Mine had the baby fat, too. I'm 6'4" myself. My son is a few months into 3 and he's already 3'6" and the baby fat is nearly gone. He eats like a horse. Of course, so do I and never seem to gain a pound.

    Hope you've gotten plenty of rest, you likely won't see much in the next couple years lol.

    Well I've been thinking about going that route also when I get bigger tires. It just seems the cheapest route at the moment for all 5 wheels!

    What kind of condition are the other 2 wheels you have? If anything I'll only need one because i'm sure its easier to buy a set of 4 then a set of 2. LOL! What do the ones you have look like?

    Well I only have one picture and the other pictures that Brian took, the flash shot right through the mesh cause I don't have the stuff behind it painted black yet..

    Ignore the black spec on the bumper and the smudge on my truck.. My camera on my phone is filthy!

    The condition of the two i have left are a bit beat up, they have scratches and scrapes. The guy i got them from Used his FJ frequently. They are not bent though, and could always be painted to hide the scrapes.

    Here's a couple pics for you. This is before i paint the ones on my truck, of course.


    By the way. Hubcentric wheels make a world of a difference! My truck shook and steering wheel shook a bit when i had the aftermarket wheels on there. With the FJ wheels, it rides like it did when i drove it off the lot on 2007.

    The wheels are by themselves right now. I'll give you a wheel and lugs for it for 30 bucks. I do have some tires laying around also if you want one. You can pick one for free if you come buy a wheel, need them out of the way. They are only 265/70/17 but would work for a spare.
