I have a Yakima on my FJ62, I purchase the hi-rise mounts for the rack and that should give me the clearance. I won't run them a lot as it will not fit in the garage with the rack installed.

I was bored today to I installed the ARB compressor and the ARB switches. I decided on the center console. I'm not sure how safe they will be in that location but with the amount I drive this rig, I am not too worried.
Very cool! Loving your build

I should hope so, you sold me almost everything. Thanks again Kurt for the great products and service.
I plan on enjoying Cruiserfest this weekend, after that, she goes in the air and I'm dropping the differentials for the Air locker and Gears, while I'm in there, I'll rebuild the knuckles and throw on my new rotors and pads.
I'm really just enjoying the drive right now. It rides better with the OME due to the improved dampers and the fact that it isn't bouncing off of the bump stops. The new tires are safer and far more quite. The turbo made this truck drive able without a re-gear, but the 4.56's should make it super enjoyable.
I will say this, a well maintained 2H is a wonderful, quiet, smokey stinky diesel.

Received my new rocker arms (12) from Mr. Toyota today. Apparently I got the last of them so I had to wait for some new ones.
Now to replace and keep the valves properly adjusted so I don't ruin any of the new arms.

Congrats on another show/shine win
I am jealous. OEM parts are always welcome, just not in my wife's kitchen...

Wow, over a year since I updated this.
I haven't done much except enjoy the rig. Replaced the rocker arms, added BMW 3 series seats (manual) and I keep prepping for the gear and air locker install (bearings, brakes etc.).
The engine was internally dirty, not a lot of oil changing going on so I have changed it a few times in order to clean stuff out. The difference has been noticeable.
I really do enjoy it though and that turbo is a life saver at over 9000 feet.

Wow dude, I noticed that I had posted in your thread well before I got my diesel 60! Thanks for the advice earlier today! I wish I could upgrade and get a turbo. My truck is not too slow though. I'm ok with it as it is. I'm going to watch your thread and see your updates.

At the altitude I operate at, the black smoke and the lack of power was immediate. I drove this rig at sea level without a turbo and it was totally liveable. The turbo really cleans up the smoke once it lights off.
I'm excited to see where yours goes.
I know. The a turbo is the way to go. I wonder if I could do it for less than 2k. That is if I build my own setup.
That's funny, all these turbo fans. I wouldn't install a turbo on my 2H even if they paid me for it. 
But, I'm glad it's working out well for you guys.
Very awesome 60 and colour too.
