1) Where does one find these rain gutter covers? You can order them from the Toyota parts dept. or ask the service manger at your local dealership(s) if they have any spares hanging around. I had to contact my regional distributor to get a set, since that is where they installed my roof...

Snap the OE rain gutter covers back on that came with the vehicle prior to roof rack installation at port/dealership.

You are forgetting one thing - we are redesigning the hatch via a production change, hence they can configure the spare tire to mount onto the tailgate differently. A better idea is to use wasted space by creating a recess in the rear-most cargo hold (under the cargo mat) to store the spare...

[/COLOR][/SIZE] Understood, but what are you going to do with the swingout carrier while the tailgate is down (driving down the road)? I suppose you could pull it if you had prior knowledge of needing to drive with it down, but what a pain that would be. False statement/claim. ALL FJs...

:confused: How would a swing-out tire carrier allow hauling of long items? This is my plight too (hauling longer items - 2x4x10s), but the only resolution I see is to have an electric (up-down) rear window - like the rest of Toyota's truck/SUV fleet. There is plenty of room in the door, so I...

The locking diff indicator is completely different from the 4wd indicator. Glad you discovered the problem. Page 121 of the Owner's Manual very briefly covers the center locking differential and pages 132-134 cover the rear locking differential.

I definitely would state the interior is NOT waterproof to the point of hosing it out. I am like :doh: whenever I see pics or video of someone going into a water/mudhole over the door level. If you have taken the sillplates loose you realize that all of that water/mud is going under the "easy...

I think DEWFPO is simply offering you the facts of his experience, not trying to convert anyone to Chevron or PUL fuel. The short and long of it is - if you are happy with subpar performance, use RUL or MUL. If you want to use the engine as it was designed, then spend a few pennies more and...

This is a beautiful option, but unobtainable by some of us due to the high cost. ARB Tent: $2081 ARB Annex: $587 http://www.devon4x4.com/shop.php?mode=productview&product=308

You can correlate the extreme wear with having a boney ass, or if that isn't the case - consider that the following link provides a much better option (IMHO) to leather OEM seats....for $$$ less. http://www.mastercraftseats.com/store/home.html?lang=en-us&target=d26.html

:flamingo: Nope, it's not discontinued, just on backorder from the manufacturer. http://www.midlandradio.com/comersus/store/comersus_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=41 However, it is still immediately available at plenty of online retailers. Ex. -...

:doh: This goes to show that there are DEFINITELY different buyers in different regions! $8k for a ProComp lift and 33" wheels/tires is steep for a DIYer...in my region at least. However, a question many of us would like to know the answer to - Is the modified vehicle and its parts still...

No problem with the angle, as I also have a Jeep YJ with a much worse condition for catching anything in its path. Composition and design flaws are my only concern...which really are not a concern until a simple pebble creates a crack. If an object strikes with enough force that portion of the...

I did once, but the look my wife gave means I should not say it again.

You are having the same internal debate I had a few weeks back. My deciding factor was truck bed, versus interior cargo space. For me, the protected interior space was more valuable and a trailer could haul anything (and more) that the truck bed would hold. However, anything I would have...
