    Expel makes great kits for that. I have no experience with it but hear it’s the way to go.

    I think putting a matte clear over the super white tundra would be dope.

    If it’s good material get it done. That’s cheap as hell.

    If anybody needs these in socal I have stock icon 650# springs, I went up to 700# when I got a bumper and winch on the fj. They have less than 10k miles on them. I’m accumulating too many tundra parts and the fj is gone.

    Located in the IE, free to a good fj home.

    Man, that does suck. Take one down to the hardware store, match it up to a Grade 8 bolt. Problem solved. =)

    Welcome. I had an 07 Fj for 10 years before I moved to the Tundra, so you have my support on here. I do miss it often, it was silver too. It had Icon Stage 2 lift, Light Racing UCA, Body mount chop, AFE Stainless exhaust, Ricochet front skid plate.

    Looking good... the paint on the wife's FJ hood is bad now (the rest of the paint is holding up well). I looked into wrapping the hood and roof in flat black, but they told me $600 and it would only last 2 years. As the roof paint is still good (I thought it would look good flat black) I am going Monday to get a price to repaint the hood. If the wrap would last ~5 years I would have taken that route.

    I don't know if i am brave enough to do the hood myself.. but out of curiosity how long did it take you to do the hood?

    Well the prep sucked. The wrap took 1.5hrs with a buddy helping. The material is roughly $100 plus sand paper. I sanded and cleaned it for a day. If I did over I would use a disc sander. I know that you can find a hood for $500 (oe not oem) and just have it painted. I ordered the material from metrorestyle.com. It looks great from a few feet away but it’s far from perfect. This truck is now my F off woods hunt fish truck so I am happy with it.
