    You should get the TRD Off Road Rugged Trail package. That way your truck already has black wheels when you buy it and all the stuff in the O/R package.

    Here is the Rugged Trail in black. CIMG1313_47e7e4cb763583b4be86a5ad5b59c9250083e381.jpg

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    i agree about the rugged trail fenders looking off...but all flares are plastic, they just dont look finished. the fj ones do look sweet, but nd got some of the rugged trail rims on his and they look pretty good.

    from what i hear you cant get the black FJ's unless you actually own the special edition FJ that they came on. My best friends mom and sister both work at my local dealer and can usually hook me up but they couldnt order those for me without a VIN matching a special edition FJ
