Use an online wheel offset calculator. The key with these trucks wheel figment is backspacing, rather than offset. Need to keep it below 3.75” or so with 3.5” being recommended. My Mickey Thompsons come in at 3.6 (3-5/8”) and fit fine.

Do you know if these replacements are to original spec? Im thinking they'd be some sort of generic replacement plate so this is probably my 2nd option. Would that be through TSB-0304-17 ? From what I am reading it discusses 'your dealer account' and seems like I need to go to my dealer rather...

Luckily I photographed the missing vin plate when I bought the truck! I don't have a photo of the b-pillar plate but I still have that it is just bent/damaged. I'll PM you if that's alright.

Hey Matt, sorry to hear about those unfortunate recent events. My truck is an '83 FJ60

Thanks for finding the right page, that helps tremendously. Thankfully there is a CHP office just down the street.

I definitely have considered this, but isn't it possible they throw some BS "this vehicle can't be driven" crap at me since one of the plates is missing, and then seize it? I didn't have full coverage on the truck and the cops returned it to me in this condition so I guess maybe not. There was...

Hi everyone! My truck was stolen in Nov 2019 and recovered Feb 2020 with: •Engine bay VIN plate missing. •Door VIN plate torn out of rivets and very bent (pic coming soon) •Dash VIN is intact with no probs Is there a company that re-creates these vin tags, or maybe that can refurbish the...

The police found it a couple small cities over. I would not have thought they would change the appearance that much but as they were using it it made sense. The theives had run out of gas and were pushing it. Police stopped to help and I guess something must’ve not looked very legit 🤣 . The...

They were using the truck for 3mos, and I think they enjoyed it. I found a cell phone in it and a photo of the truck was the lock screen wallpaper! Of course the phone didn’t live another minute 🤣 after that. I think they painted it so it wouldn’t match the stolen car description. They also...

The spray paint comes off with Goof-Off, thank goodness! Have only done about half, been too busy to do the rest, but at least I know it’ll come off. The carpet needs to be replaced too, but again could’ve been worse!

Will keep an eye out in SoCal. My truck was stolen in Nov, recovered in Feb had been spray painted a different color! Keep up hope, and keep in mind you might be looking for a slightly different truck!

I need to come take this off your hands (finally). My windshield had a crack in it but since being stolen and recovered it now has a huge star across half the glass. I'm only 30-45min from you (I think) but the problem is my truck isn't roadworthy at the moment--runs like crap, missing a...

Sorry, I must not have notifications turned on!! They did a horrible job with the black spray paint but thankfully it comes off with goof-off which seems to leaves the rest of the paint alone. Going to grab a few gallons and some gloves soon. Without any working lock cylinders and a missing...
