I think the changes in blue correct some typos...

You guys, I'm on our side. I have heard this internally at TMS and TTC (Toyota Technical Center). Currently there is no fix in the works from TMC. They do not understand what is causing the problem right now. Currently the belief is there is an abnormal issue with body roll that they are not experinecing on the 4runner which utilizes the same aprons and frame. There is only one vehicle in the Toyota fleet has a boxed reinforced apron which is the Lexus GX.
They are thinking about using the design of the GX apron for the FJ during 09, but they are not planning on retooling the manufacturing plant for this year.
There are two ways Toyota will mandate the change immediatly. If corrective costs outweigh fixing the issue at the factory (TMS was charged 12,800 to fix my rig), or someone (one of us) gets hurt due to the failed crumple zone.
I still believe it is imparative for us to bring up the issue immediatly with our dealer and TMS once we become aware of ripping or buldging.

Good advice. I hope you don't mind the fixes above, RESE.
