17" FJ cruiser wheels
Hi I am just wondering if I need spacers for the 17" FJ cruiser steel wheels. I have a 64 step side. And if so how thick?

Re: 17" FJ cruiser wheels
If anyone else is interested in this I used 1" spacers and trimmed a little off of the rear fenders.

Re: 17" FJ cruiser wheels
Did your drums have rivets? Newer wheels may not tighten up if so.

Re: 17" FJ cruiser wheels
It did have rivets on the fronts but the holes in the spacers lined right up. I will get a picture when it is not raining.

Re: 17" FJ cruiser wheels
Thanks man. It was really just the theme I went with when building the truck. Rarely drink anything maybe that's why I can get away with it. LOL

Re: 17" FJ cruiser wheels
How did you make that bed cover and how is it attached? Is it easy to remove? Is it heavy?

Re: 17" FJ cruiser wheels
I welded small angle iron in the bed for the wood to sit on and so I can screw the wood in place. I could have used channel so the wood just slides in and is held in place though. Might be a future upgrade. Used what I had at the time. I had some old wood laying around. I cut 5 or 6 boards the width of the bed. Put them on the angle and stapled a sheet of vinyl to the boards keeping them tight. Then I cut the boards needed the length of the bed. Then I screwed the top boards to the bottoms keeping the vinyl tight. Then I screwed the cover to the angle in the 4 corners so I could remove it quickly when needed. Haven't had to remove it yet but I can easily take it off and on by sliding it off and putting it in the bed.
