2nd Gen Tundra FRB

[bjowett]

The 2007 and up Tundra FRB is likely the beefiest OEM unit Toyota has offered, and probably rivals or exceeds much of the aftermarket in design and capability. It is massive compared to the 80 and 100 parts, with the main hoop being 25mm, or just a smidgen under 1" diameter bar. The vehicle tie down for transport loop is the same 16mm diameter as the 80/100 main loop. It cross braces the main loop structure quite nicely. Straps and shackles are easily to mount on the main loop... and angled pulls are much safer due to large radius of this unit keeping things in line.

It's not all perfect, though, the issue lies in that it uses the 54mm bolt center, instead of the 60mm bolt center mount pattern used by the 80/100. This can be dealt with, but prevents straight bolt on. I can modify these to work if folks are interested.

Comments and criticisms are always welcome.

Looks like the oem FJ cruiser recovery bracket which has holes that don't quite fit with our recovery bolt holes. I tried already.

So to use these you just slot the holes outward by 3mm each?

This is much larger than the FJ unit.

At a minimum, I would slot the rear hole only, about 6mm, and use a large thick washer to cover the slot. Studs would be good to install in place of the bolts, too.

I'd say a technical point worth mentioning is compatibility with aftermarket bumpers. It'd fit a Slee bumper, but not all other bumpers may be compatible. It looks like it wouldn't fit the 03-07 deluxe bar that I have.
