I went with the TRD Tacoma 17" rims. I agree that there isn't much difference in braking or ride feel but it was an easy way to gain some with when coupled with 275/70R-17 BGD TKO2s.
I've got the TRD's with an older and tired OME 2" lift. They are mounted with BFG KO 2's in 275/70R17. I lost a little power with them over the stock rims and 31's but I gained almost 2" of clearance.
I second the 4Plus bumper. There is no lose to departure angle since the receiver is in the bumper.

I mounted 6.5" rounds in the rear panel of my 60. There is plenty of room behind the panel. They sound better when the rear seats are down as in the picture. I rarely have the rear seat up so that is not an issue.
I went a different route. I've got a bluetooth controller located on the center console that is very handy to get to. The amp is located under the driver seat and I used the power wires from the old head unit to the bluetooth controller and and amp. It works great. I much prefer a knob and not...
I got a set of Procar Elites a couple of years ago in gray canvas. They are supportive and comfortable for a long drive. They mount on the stock runners so both seats took all of 20 minutes to swap out.

I just replaced the starter pigtail on my FJ60 with one from https://forum.ih8mud.com/members/toyotamatt.25798/ . I have been having issues with the de-icer my town has been using corroding the wiring. It must have been happening for a while as my 60 now starts up in a heartbeat. It had been...
