Cruiser outfitters has studs, as does Toyota if you feel like going with something new.
I found that cleaning the stud well, and putting a small amount of blue loctite on the threads and screwing it back in like a bolt worked well. The next time I went to remove it the nut came off and the...

Thought on some additional points for the FJ: The FJs rear locker and A-Trac is a solid setup that offers a...
I've had both. Visibility is far better on the 100, and I prefer it for long drives due to comfort. But the FJ was easier to work on, cheaper to maintain and modify, and a better fit for wheeling.
