The frame cracking around the steering box is actually very rare for FSJs. Common as mud on GM trucks though.

The front fender that is cracked is aftermarket most likely. Unless you guys had fiberglass fenders normally? Ours were all steel. Love the aluminum bed (or galvanized steel maybe, either way its cool).
