I'm blushing, guys... really, I'm flattered - so here are a couple of pics. You were right, though, it never ends. I just changed the wheels on the FJ and added the Hella TC-400 tire pressure / temperature sensing system... Man, I need to get a prescription to cure this mod-fever before I end up homeless (although, I guess I could always live in the FJ;... hmmmm, on to the next mod then...).

I just received a copy of the May, 2008 issue of Landcruiser Magazine from Japan - and I was honored with a 10-page feature on 1 CRZY FJ and Dirty Parts !!!

Wow, that's humbling - recognition in the home of the Landcruiser.....a dream come true.... :)

Larry-

What wheels did you install and how does one get a copy of the LandCruiser mag? Congrats on the spread.

Thank you !!!

I installed the new ProComp 7028 series wheels.

Being the neurotic that I am, I swapped out all the silver bolts for gold to better match the Sun Fusion... :shock:

I think the magazine is available at larger newspaper/magazine stands, but I'm not sure. I'll e-mail the photographer and find out..

Nice looking wheels Larry. Gold bolts, huh? Bringing back the "Gold Package" look? Do I see 18k gold badging in you future, lambskin seat covers? :lol: Seriously though you are fanatical, how many bolts was that, over 200 at $1.00-2.00 each?

I'll see if I can find the LC mag at Barnes and Noble today.

Yep, 200 bolts and 200 washers. Had I ordered them from McMaster-Carr, it would have cost me almost $300... but I got them from a local hardware supplier we use, and the grade 8 bolts and washers (only grade 8 come in gold) cost me under $45.00 - less than medication for obsessive compulsive disorder :mrgreen:
