Here is a pic of the passenger side with a dent looking thing. It is not located on the dimple where everyone else's seem to be but to the left of it. It is hard to see by the pic but it gives you a little bit of an idea of the location of it in relation to the crumple zones. It doesn't seem to bulge but more like a dent caused by a tool hitting it. But I just want you guys to check it out and tell me what you guys think.

MelFeliFJ -- If you go to posts on this thread between 10/11 and 10/15, there was a lot of discussion on this dimple and another further to the left (at the time referred to as the "Tgingle dimple"). I saw this on a bunch of new FJs (nut not all) on the dealer's lot, right off of the truck. I don't think you're looking at a tool hit. I think this is a dimple that is caused/created at the point of manufacure -- just more evidence that these aprons are pretty thin. I'm not convinced that this is a necessarily a sign of greater chance of future bulging or cracking than aprons that don't show this dimple. 3,000 miles after I first noticed this there has been no change at all...
