How long did it take you guys to do one for BBQBoy and how difficult is it on a FJ60? Is it another HAMOM or should I just spend the money and pay one of you two or West Ashley to do it?
2- Any ideas of what to check for play in steering...I am going to pull out service manual tonight and look but any help would be appreciated in troubleshooting.
3- What size tire can I put on her without a new lift...she just has 2inch body lift now and is currently running 30x9.50x15....Think I want 33" tires on her at most without a lift for now. Not sure if putting a lift on her or leaving as she is...will have to see. If I find cracked springs and stuff then might consider or if I carry lots of **** might get the OME or other brand with HEAVY springs....will take opinion from Doc and DBENKE and other 60/62 guys on that.....but lift is low on the list right now.
4-I want to put an Aussie Locker in rear......Michael, you getting rid of yours I heard. If you are, give me a price....That is suppose to be a 1 hour job so hoping a HAMOM can take it out of yours and install it in mine. If you are not replacing with ARB soon...I will just pick one up.
5- Slee bumper with tire carrier for back. Anybody know another good one off top of head before I search the forum threads.
6- Rack for top....do they increase the damage to rain gutters with rust and stuff? Mine are in great shape....so dont want to add to any accelerated wear and tear unless I have to do it. If I can get spare on back and room for two jerry cans then that will leave back open for a drawer system to help with my junk.
7- service AC unit, recharge......; upgrade radio to a bit better sound maybe speakers; etc
8- Tuffy Console for center to replace factory console.
9- Sliders to replace the nerf bars on there now.
Hope everyone had great time at GSMTR......and have a Happy Fathers Day!

Brock be sure and service the ball joints on the stearing looseness in addition the drag link (think that's the name) will often have play in the system if low on grease, so grease her up good then decide if she is loosey goosey, If the tie rod ends are worn you can have play there as well. Believe it or not even worn spring bushings can cause loose stearing in the older cruisers. But if the ends and the drag link are good an tight the sterring box has an adjustment that can take up the final slack. Real easy just back off the set screw and using a screw driver tighten up the center bolt. Trick is not to get it to tight.
Sort of nice you asking questions about a Land Cruiser that I know something about and not the computer sled you were working on (nothing bad ment by that it's one nice computer sled would not mind getting one myself someday)
Questions on lift omf HEAVY IS gREAT. i GOT THE SPECTER KIT AND HAD TO ADD SOME PARTS. Sorry did not notice the cap lock
