Hi Bob, Nice to see another VX on the build up. Watch out for those lists, they just keep growing.

Nice rig Bob, did you ask the dealer to turn the auto window's on from new?

Cheers

Good choice of tyre Bob. I have 5000 km on mine and love them. I shall look forward to following your build up.

After reading this forum I found some people talking about it so I asked the dealer to enable it and disable the no seatbelt.
Been reading a lot of the buildups, one thing I have noticed is members are making and supplying there own underbody protection items, has anyone made a list of everything on offer? Would really like to protect as much of the underbody as possible .

So Bob, where are the pictures of the Prado wearing the FJ cruiser wheels? You talked it up and now you're gonna leave us hanging?

The mob demands pictorial gratification.

I agree!

Lotta talk about the FJ rims, I want to know if you're happy with the change in track?

After 6 months finally got my FJ rims and wheel cover =D I forgot to check but I think it resolved the rubbing issue I had.

So far I think the there is nothing negative to report about the change in track width, it’s only been a few days and few hundred K's on the clock.

Some stats I found

VX +25 = 62.4in / 1585
FJ Rims +15 = 63.2in / 1605

This makes sense to me as the 4runner which also has the same FJ rims are also 1605. What I don't understand is why the GXL/VX/K are all reduced by an inch..

Anyway the turning circle seems to be improved and cornering has slight change it does drive different but not in a bad way.

So what size exactly are the tyres?

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say Cooper AT/3 265/65r17s, just coz that's what it says in post #1.
