I just spent an hour photoing and trying to explain what is going on here....am I on everyone's "ignore" list or what????
It has ABSOLUTly nothing to do with the bumper... i've seen several completly stock fj's with these fractures,, i even had a bulge on mine before i put 32 tires on.

I just filled out my Toyota product quality survey and I told them about my bulge in there. I included a link to this thread. I hopefully will be contacted. I need to get to the dealer and show them though.

Re: Engine Bay Body Rips - Manual Trans Exempt ???
I've noticed something while checking FJs that come into our shop - THe manual transmission FJCs have a large plate mounted to the D/S inner fender well, used to support the clutch master cylinder. It mounts directly over the area that would bulge and crack. I have not seen the problem on any of these vehicles yet. Do all the members with bulges/ cracks have the auotmatic trans ??? Just wondering if the clutch master mounting plate prevents the issue on manual trans models....
Post up here, please.... TIA
