@G-Cat Love the new TRD style wheels, where did you source them? Wife has a set of FJ wheels she wants on the GX, but after I have them blasted and PC'd, I may be better served to put a few more dollars in and see if I can convince her to go this route.
 
I LOVE these compared to the FJC wheels.

They are the FN(f)x Pro. You will not find them on their website or elsewhere on the Internet.

Call the number on their site and leave a message for Dustin.

He is A+ and will return your call quickly.

I got 4 wheels, lug nuts (chose chrome over black) and 4 center caps (chose Toyota TRD over plain) shipped for $750.

I sold my 5 FJC wheels for $200.

I'd highly recommend these...the extra inch of width is perfect.

I hope you win her over...these are awesome.

Talking to my dad tonight and he asks if I want my grandpas 1983 L diesel 2wd long bed pickup. Of course I say yes sir. It will be a week or 2 before we can workout the transfer, but was curious if anyone knows much about this little engine. @beno are there any parts at all still available for this series engine?

I will get the vin to confirm series, I was thinking it was an older L, but honestly have no idea. I'm not even sure I have the year correct, may be earlier. We will chat when I have more info. Thank you sir!
 
Oh yeah, you don't pull out in front of anybody if you value your life, but for Saturday morning trips to co-op and other little quick trips, it should be perfect. And to be honest, it has some sentimental value since its been in the family for close to 30 years.

High School buddy bought it in 1988. I bought it from him in 2000...so 17 years.

Has 132K miles on it...helped to see the ugly wheels from the 4Runner on it as I drove away...

Heck yeah man, Love me a firstgen 4runner. Im trying to talk the wife into letting me but the crappiest 85 and below pickup to cut up and bash around hotsprings with. In a perfect world, it would be an 85 xtracab pickup.
 
Going back to my roots...
