Toyota Landcruiser wheels are a match for 1st gen 4x4 pickup wheels.

They came all sorts of ways. My 83 only has two on each side, and others have 3, especially longbeds

Well, I wish my longbed had 3. It's still like 10x better than new trucks with hooks only on the inside of the bed, IMO. I love those hooks.

My longbed has 3 hooks. I agree, having them on the outside is way better, honestly I think the 1st gens are still better looking than any of the newer pickups, if only they would somehow produce brand new 1st gens. Id by one right off the line.

Man, I would too. I wish these guys would make a first gen pickup. Those FJ's are cool, but these pickups are so useful.

seriously though, you'd think to mass produce those vehicles it would be dirt cheap by todays standards as they are so simple and they would probably sell millions being as I can pretty much think of like 20 people off the top of my head that would by one for sure.
