[65swb45]

I'll have to tell you about my new barnyard find when I get back. ;p

 

[foxfab]

Alright, I have enough now. I'm done buying hub caps

Gimme a heads up if you spot another set and I'm in bad need of one of those crap pot metal tailgate latch handles

Glad to see Foxfab's spending days are over. Now I might be able to pay a rediculous amount of cash on something these things.

The place that did the rest of my FJ25 chrome wanted $1600 to restore those caps!!!! I told them to

I found a shop in Texas that claims they will straighten and re-chrome the above set for $100 a cap.

I'll keep ya posted.

Just glad I didn't have to compete with FoxFab anymore on the darn things..
ya'all just make as much fun of me as ya want! I'm on the slow bus.. It'll all come together just keep on acquiring the parts.. Just about ready to start tho.. have most everything I need now..
When I get closer.. I'll do the Matt style thread..
Cheffy.. No picture other than the one in your head of me juggling old school hubcaps and drinking your beer doing a happy dance!

[treerootCO]

I do like hubcaps

 

[74fj40]

too bad three of em have holes in em, or is that how its supposed to be?

They came from the factory with driveplates. Dealers added hubs and super special hubcaps with the centers cut out. The OE style are the ones with the rolled edge. PO mod ones were usually cut out with a dull knife and a freight train.
