    Jack is lying.
    He wants to get the MX5 so him and his fellow CHP buddies can act out the chase scene from super troopers

    Ya, I am just sending it back. I would not be able to sleep at night knowing that was messed up. Kinda OCD like that.

    Basically goin got just swap top plates and re-install. Prob going to use nylocks also since I don't like having to worry about the nut coming loose.

    But the suspense is killing me!

    x2. It wouldn't look good on many vehicles, but the FJ looks really good in that color. My favorite for sure.

    I didn't know this forum had a FJ section. Sold my 05 Taco a while back, drove a Subaru WRX for about a year. Sold that, and recently picked up my 2008 FJ 6 speed in Sandstorm. Awesome truck!

    Waiting to put these bad boys on. Need to unmount current wheels and switch the tpms sensors.

    Got my OME lift and Toytec rears installed. It went pretty painless. Took my FJ to the body shop on base and had access to unlimited air tools which made it much easier. Some jackass last week dropped something on his head using a lift so they made me use jacks and jackstands. Now I just need to find some rims and tires. I wish I was made of money so I could buy them now.

    Considering just running these tires for now unless I can find a buyer. They're practically brand new.

    Eh, some recent events in my life have made it far more important to get started having a family and the FJ is not family friendly.

    That seems to be the case. I'm hoping if I stay with my GF long-term, we'll trade in her Corolla for an SUV of some type. I want to keep a Subaru car of some sort for quite a while now. :D
