I am interested in the rear mounted spare carrier! Probably won't work with our uzj100s...

You'd need a new hatch and tailgate, plus I believe there's extra bracing in that D pillar... I'd love one too, but a bumper mounted option is just more feasible for a UZJ100 that didn't get a rear tire carrier from the factory.

I have one.....

Any suggestions to match this chrome front bumper?

Can you give me more info on that rear tire setup? I'd love to put that on my rig and avoid the full rear bumper like @costalcat mentioned.


So did anyone end up getting a hold of one of these grills? Would love to get one and keep the square lights.

I got a hold of the guy who ships these grills out of Japan (the full grill, with the headlights). Here's what he told me:

"The front fascia kit from Japan is about $3000 landed at your location. That is the front grille and headlight bezels with headlight bezels. These parts are one off hand made in Japan."

Pretty steep. I really just want the grill not the headlights. I may end up trying to modify my current setup and throw an FJ TOTOTA emblem on the front.
 
@Roswell Cruiser who is the guy who ships them out of Japan? I've been asking flex dream on instagram for months and no response.

I actually only want the front grill, not the headlights or bezels. Is that an option?
 
Soooooo jealous. You source the parts from abroad? Please tell me more....

@EarthX where did you get the rear tire carrier setup? I'm not sure I need or want the weight of an armored rear bumper but do want to move the spare. Look like you had to change out the tailgate as well?

please provide more information! thank you

I want the overseas license plate enclosure. Do I need a new tailgate? I have a slee rear bumper.

I had the carrier and lower tailgate imported from Japan. Fourtunatly, I found one in near perfect condition and in the same color as my LX. I did have to fab my own body reinforcements where the carrier bolts to the body. As far I daily use, hands down better than an aftermarket bumper mounted carrier...no rattles, easier to use latch, slam to close just like a door and thats a 35" tire on it.
The license plate enclosure would require you to run the JDM tailgate.....
 
@kelly saad is making round headlights, support him he has developed a solution bc flex dream has/had no interest in exporting their round eye lights.

He should be posting up his finished product in the next week or so!

I'm making a retro grill insert that has the big 'Toyota' but wire mesh instead of fiberglass (much stronger!): the SharkNet (a product build thread)

Prototype:

Group Buy closed, but sales should open on the website in the next week or two.
 
@EarthX did you purchase it brand new from an importer? what kind of fabrication for body reinforcement did it need?

thanks

No, it was used from a Japanese cruiser.
I fabbed my own body reinforcements to fit behind the hinges, only a simple backet was needed. That back corner of these trucks is strong.
 
Hey guys,

Saw this yesterday. I am really interested in switching to the round headlights even if everything else stays the same. I would run the round led lights and leave everything else the same. Sombrero grill is fine unless the Toyota written out grill could be sourced. Does anyone out there have details on where to source the round headlight surrounds? I went to the flexdream site and found everything 60 site but my search skills are lacking. Thank you for any information.
