Every so often I feel like I MAYBE should have gone with 4.88's instead of 4.56's for 35's then I drive on the freeway and realize 4.56 is the perfect choice for 35's.
5.29's would be way to much for 35's unless you planned on trailering your rig for dedicated rock crawling.
That looks awesome!
I think you're going to be really happy with the added performance of the headers and the feel of the new mounts. I imagine with that amount of sag in the old mounts, you were experiencing some drive line slop you probably never knew was there.
Very clean looking install!
I actually purchased all new studs and OE nuts. The studs of mine that didn't come out during the OE manifold removal were removed using a stud extractor.
I chased the holes and reinstalled all the studs, then hung my headers and put all the nuts back on.

V-bands are the way to go!
While you're doing your motor mounts you might want to look at replacing your transmission mount too.
That way your complete motor suspension system is fresh.
I broke my factory roof rack at the mounting feet by mounting a RTT to extruded aluminum cross bars.
There's a post about the extruded cross bars where I discuss it and posted pictures.
I don't have the exact number in front of me but the factory rails are designed to carry something like 70...
There's a guy on this forum who I believe lives in Turkey. He sometimes lists Prado parts for sale.
I recall right when the garage alpha grill was coming out, he was debuting this grill. It got barely any interest and just faded away.
There was a post about it though. It's somewhere in the...
