Not huge, but you will have to tear down the tcase to get to the seal - when I did it I went ahead and rebuilt the tcase as well.

Thanks! Yes, SCS F5 Matte Gunmetal 16x8 -25mm; rubber Mickey Thompson Baja 305/70/16 - I will be going with narrower tires when I replace these.

12 years later, no complaints. No relocating hangers, no stinkbug, I did install anti-inversion shackles initially (did not install the CCOT shackles) because I had them on hand already. Pic taken today - no significant decrease in lift height over the years, no stinkbug, no complaints (from me).

Not sure if year of bumper matters, for newer model ARB on FJ62 I did have to remove 2 bolts (1 lower and 1 upper) from the OEM bumper mounts to make room for the upper/lower ARB bolts. Mine (both sides) were both bolts, not rivets.

I heard production deployment was delayed due to weather... haryv prob has more details.

~9years later and still good. The top cushion is showing some cracks and will prob need recovered in the near future but that will be an easy job.

Toyota of Plano sold me new OEM studs for $7ea. 2 weeks ago... not cheap, but better than $120.

I drove my new OEM studs in using stacked washer method and an impact... Also, those OEM studs list for ~$13 each, at least that's what a local dealer quoted me then took 50% off.

Things got shiny this weekend. I'm tempted to tear it all back down and replace the dust shield with the eliminator plate. That thing is a pain in the ass - I can only imagine doing birf work on a trail and having to jack around with cracking open brake lines, etc. But for now... bling

Yes OEM... they do not have the hole drilled for the hub/rotor bolt though - oh well.

Finally rotors/calipers arrived... preparing for the weekend. Bearing races are in the freezer! What I plan to do this weekend :beer::wrench::beer::wrench::beer::beer::beer:

Cleaning things while waiting for parts (new calipers and rotors en route). Before, lots of gunk. After some degreaser, scraper and paint.

What says mud, the tabs are discolored from what appears to be heat/wear - look ok?

New ARB has 3 height positions, I think mine is the middle and rides the headlight and replaces the turn signals.... and servicing the axles this weekend thru next weekend.
