Wow I missed those posts. Tgingle has the exact same dimple that I have on my FJ. Exact same spot too. Thank you for sharing. Cross your fingers and hope it doesn't get any worse.

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...
