    The list is long but distinguished
    Don't remember if I posted an update on the hubcap mod I was working on so apologies if this is a repost. I experimented with different ways of mounting the caps to stock style steelies and am not impressed with the results thus far. I did a mock up:

    mXJ6gVISAz9BpaR9yTLX7j6jyPrXpsYNOie7sWov_0f88868ae3437ba1852d533c54b136a977fda716.jpg


    My personal thoughts:
    • The truck needs some lift
    • The wheels need to be a lighter color
    I have since added ~1.6" of lift and removed the mudflaps so I may try again.

    I looked into custom steelies from Stockton Wheel and they can give me exactly what is needed with hub cap mounts (just send them a cap for reference) but the price starts getting up over $220/wheel.

    Feedback welcome.

    Nice. May be a little pricey, but you can't go wrong with the folks @ Stockton Wheel. Their skills and finished product are second to none.

    Hey all:

    I just got an FJ steelie to use as my spare tire as I upsized and the stock spare 16" rim does not have an equivalent size tire...

    The regular lug nuts will work with the FJ steelie spare without issue, yes?

    Appreciate it. And does anyone want 1 16" 3rd gen Spare???

    Yeah those just dont look good. Run em with no caps or the little FJ Cruiser caps. Embrace the lug nuts!

    The FJ caps wont fit on with the stock lugs. You need something more narrow. I have the black splined nuts

    The deed has been done and I'm very happy with my decision on going with the steelies! Ended up with the Bilstein 5100's front and rear (front set to 2"), the Road Ready 16" wheels and Wildpeak AT3w 265/75/16. The guys at Socal Suspension in El Cajon did a great job and were very fairly priced after calling around to 4 other shops in the area - I'd recommend them to anyone in the SoCal area.

    I like the idea, but it doesn't look good at all.

    Did you by chance have this wheel/tire combo pre-lift? Also, do you have a matching spare in the factory location?

    This is a size I'm considering myself and I have heard that size tire will fit on a stock height 3rd gen with TRD OR wheels.

    Found a set of 16” Tundra steelies to put on my 99 regular cab. They were pretty scratched and had surface rust so I cleaned them up and hit them with Duplicolor Silver. Going to find some 235/85/16s and throw them on. Will update with photos once it’s on the truck.
