    Freaking Vegas is getting packed with them now. Good to see, and like most other I have met that own these kinds of trucks, they are really cool people. On weekends when I am doing radio installs or mods, I post up on the SCWFJ board and usually have no less than 5 parked in front of the house while I'm working!

    I just added a camp gear trailer. $400 and I haul everything in it. I get the best of both worlds that way.

    I have a question for you FJ guys. Has anyone ever had to replace or change steering knuckles? I would apprciate any info as I might be able to help my buddy steer away from paying the stealership a rediculous amount of money.

    I am not sure, from what my buddy said the dealership needed to replace a knuckle. 1300$ or something ridiculous like that.

    from the spindle side it is, not sure about the rack though, yeah his ICON set up will probably work fine, possibly valved for the heavier fj but with your bumper etc you'd be fine
