Yes the cheap part is done (buying it), now for the expensive addiction of building it up. but in the end its worth it.
Thats about when the clutches seem too go in them. I had too replace the one in my 96 at about the same mileage.

Those are not forged, they are just cast alloy, big difference in strength and weight. Toyota currently only offers two forged wheels, http://www.toyota.com/accessories/fe...RD-Wheels.html. They are also skinnier 7.5" vs. 8" and have a more positive offset, +15mm for FJ vs. 0 for 80 series, thus more inset. So long story short, no, not like those. But as long as they look good and get the job done, who cares right? Nice rig by the way.

Finally got the trim (spray on bed-liner), rims, grill, and emblems (Plasti Dip) painted. Got the windows tinted. Also picked up the roof rack and lights for cheap on craigslist. The rack is a bit wide but I think it looks fine.
