I had a hell of a time finding it too. This video shows where the sensors are at the 11min mark. If I can recall correctly, you want to turn off your adaptive ride then put the height to normal and turn off the car. Then add the washers. The turn on and move the height control to low then high...

Thank you. So do I. I wish it was a little more level however I totally get it that it wasn’t meant to fit but it fits well enough so I’m happy.

In the mean time I wanted to keep my side steps because I don’t have sliders picked out yet. So I pulled off the slides just like you would if putting sliders on. I trimmed the step metal core about 5-6 inches off the front. This would also give some from for the bottom of the side rail. I...

There is slight rubbing from the tires at full lock. I’m going to see if I can get an alignment again with max caster. My last alignment was done at a Meineke so yeah... hopefully it clears it.

the instructions call for a little trimming and shortening of the tube end. I knew I had to do that anyways because I have a Ironman bumper and not ARB so that’s expected. the there’s a U bolt that goes just in front of the body mount. The passenger side is free and clear of any hard lines but...

Long story short I had my eyes on the arb-4421010 for some time now but was unsure if they would work. I bite the bullet and accelerated my purchase because the item was going to be pulled from the retailers website due to being for a prado150 and not for a gx460 specifically and would need...

So I did something fun over the last few days. I’ve always like to do things a little different even if I have to put a little more effort into it. Here is the end result. I’ll add steps in below.

Welcome! I like thinking outside of the box as well and doing things a little different but meets my needs and makes my rig unique.

It would of been a cake walk if I had done it when I installed the bumper or when I took off the bumper to install my winch. I’m becoming pro at taking the bumper off 😆

the only bolt I couldn’t get back in on both sides was the bolt that goes it and has a square but which butts right up against the radiator. For some reason that square nit may have shifted. But I’ll be pull off the compete bumper soon so I can undo the lower radiator bolts to make room to get...

In the last picture above you can see on the left side where the arm comes out, the bracket for the AT cooler lines into the radiator need to move in order to make place for the recovery point. I just unbolted it and it ended up lining back up with the original spot but I used a longer bolt. I’m...

I first removed the existing outer brackets. Didn’t remove the full bumper at all. Also here’s a side by side comparison with the bracket it’s replacing.

Got to installing my Ironman recovery points. I picked these because they’re rated and bolt right on. I’ve seen others that are basically only two bolts on the side but was uncertain if they would need a spacer to line up with the Iron man bumper or not so I just played it safe and got these...

Here’s some pictures from our drive up to St. Helens a few weeks ago. Right now there’s a nasty fire around there so super Smokey as of late.
