That thing is absolutely clean as all get out. Shows what a little love and maintenance can do for you over the long run. Nice work!

Stop calling it a "FJ."
Replaced the Group 27F battery with a Group 49 AGM. Used a piece of 3/4 inch plywood as a tray spacer. The stock battery hold down is working fine.
This Group 49 AGM battery I bought form NAPA Auto Parts for about US$200.00 It is marked "Made in Germany" and the label says 92 amp hours.

What crossover and tweeters did you use? I have a blown tweeter, so need to do this soon.
There are so many choices when it comes to speakers. I used a shallow set from a company called CDT

Were you able to weld the spindles within the bumper as well? That's how my 4x4labs bumper is and I think it's important for longevity and to prevent the spare tire from rocking fore and aft.
For what it's worth I am running the same battery, but went with this hold down. It didn't even cross my mind to raise up the battery.

Added my new Ditch Light Brackets to my LX 
I did not, but the though occurred to me that the bottom of the spindle would be stronger if welded. Issue is that from the bottom once the spindle is in, there isn't any access to the bottom of the spindle. I suppose I could drill a hole and weld from beneath. Have any pics to share showing what you described?

@2020 Rocks Sure, this is my 70 series so the it might look a little different internally than yours.
Thanks man, I feel compelled to do this now. I'll crawl under at lunch and take a peek, should be doable but it's tucked up in that corner pretty good.

Maybe take a video with your camera inside the bumper and then extend the swing out and put your weight on it. Check for spindle movement. That is the kind of forces it'll see when off-road x 10,000!
Anyone have a part number for the clip that holds the driver sun visor?
I bought this for my grey interior - perfect fit!

The dual, sliding visor is one of the most underappreciated features on the 100. I wish all my vehicles had it!
Thank you! I forget about ebay.....I bought this for my grey interior - perfect fit!

Toyota FJ100 Land Cruiser Lexus LX470 Tan Oak sun visor clip in GOOD shape. I might be able to fix the issue. Especially if its my fault to begin with. Mistakes do happen once in a while. Understand that "Used" auto parts will have signs of use and normal wear and tear.

Installed some goodies from Trail Tailor.
After a quick pull from a Taco last week ( blame the heater tee
) and having the tow strap fly off that stupid hook up front I went home and ordered the proper tow points. Soft Shackle Tow Points - 60 80 100 Series - https://trail-tailor.com/store/p95/Tow_Points_-_60_80_100_Series.html
Since I was on the website, I had to find something else to buy. Sway bar link upgrade! Front and back now complete. Plus wife says the ride is better, so win – win.

great point, will definitely weld up the lower spindle sections
Found scrap aluminum at my metal supply shop sold by weight. 1/8” plate and 1/4” aluminum. Purchased Sherpa mounts with their ss hardware and t nuts extrusions. Had to do some tig welding to add more width to give the front more real estate for the roof curve.
I put a white wrap on the roof prior to starting. I think I’ll keep it raw.

I'm not a pro welder AT ALL, but those welds look pretty good for a $200 flux box from what I've seen. Nicely done. Have you welded much or are you getting into it?
