    The bumper is weak, but the center section between the frame rails is reinforced to support the bumper-mount hitch ball.

    Not a lot of room between the top of the bumper and gate when it's down, the whole tire mount would need to be removed from "sockets" with some way of easily locking them in.

    A lot of guys on FSC have had bad experiences with the swinging tire mounts that connect to the right fender. There's just no support structure under the sheetmetal and they end up failing.

    Yeah, to bad they are so darned hard to get through Toyota,

    My girlfriend works with a guy who just purchased a TT FJ, as soon as I walked across the lot he smiled because his truck has the black TT wheels and he knew what I was going to ask him,

    He said when I was ready he would find out much much he could get them for me for,

    Those are factory man,

    I have that page on that site bookmarked, lol...
    www.oemtoyotascionparts.com/PTR20-35080

    The story is true, someone put in a deposit and ordered 25 or so sets of em,

    Then backed out,

    SO they are moving them all, lol...

    I have thought about those as they do look sic and heck, even if I trade in a few years and look into a DCLB I can take em with me, You can't beat that price!

    Yeah, tell me about it,

    I have some book purchases coming up to the tune of 750 bucks or I would have my 05-06 Tundra TRD wheels on my Silver RC right now,

    They are all cleaned up and sitting in storage, I just couldn't pass up the deal I got on them. I will wait till I can put them on some 265s,

    Lol, Yup, I have only seen them on a Gen-1, I love the look and think the 5-spokes cater better to the RC models, if I had an AC or a DC I would be more into the 6-spoke designs, I think the 6-spokes look better on the tacomas that have more vertical lines within the body.

    I believe the wheels on a vehicle make it or break it, You can ruin the whole look of a very nice automobile with crappy rim selection, :mad:

    And I knew the Gen-1 rims from Tundra and Tacoma have the 4.5" backspacing I wanted, exactly like the FJ wheels you now have, difference your are 8" wide and these are 7" wide which is fine with me.

    But then you'd have a Chevy 4.8/5.3/5.7
    Stock up on intake manifold gaskets.

    That thing is a screamer. The 5.7 is a better truck engine, but I loved that 4.7 in my '03

    The emblems, love 'em.
    The roof? It's not a white truck, but I think you're going to notice the difference when it heats up this weekend.
