Agreed. Dissent makes the best armor in the Game. Ben built my rear bumper on my fj40 form a sketch. he even made my idea cooler!

But if i chose to get them. It will be tire on the right and a basket or single Jerry can on the right.

Ive know the owner of dissent since late 2019. He custom built my rear fj40 bumper. I just like his product and styling. In my opinion no one does it better.
In this case - I like the more modern lines dissent arb revision.
Yes dissents stuff isn’t cheap. It’s so well designed - the fit in finish is amazing.
The other thing that’s a huge selling point - is the slam style latches. I’ve owned several trucks with the off the shelf latches. Simply - They suck. The ability to lean into the tire and open the latch is amazing when your hands are full.
Land cruisers deserve dissent.
Hope that helps.

Did a little poor man machine work. It went really well. I bought these 4runner wheels for my fj80 axels. (Stockers won’t fit) - the center bore was a hair to small. I opened them up 2m. This should work for mock up.
However The wheels are growing on me. I might keep them.
Process - i used a shank rabbit bit with adjustable bearings. The Bering was on the bottom of router bit. I set my depth and chased the center bore.
Step two used a flush bit in router and chased my newly machined surface.
I went slow the bits did just fine.

Also i finally pulled the 2f. I have a fellow mud neighbor that ended up throwing me cash and helped me pull it. It’s only fair I give it to him. Sorry @CruiserTrash rebuilding it piece by piece to restore his truck.
I am so tired of the black oil caked on. I cannot wait to clean off. My wife is ready for me to stop ruining clothes. Lol

why did you cut the 4wd/reverse/light/starter connector instead of just unplugging it? That whole circuit will stay completely unmodified since you are sticking with H55f.

I didn’t cut anything? What are you talking about?
I am also rebuilding the whole harness with detusch connectors most likely. It’s over kill but my preferred connector.

In your picture, white 4-pin above the starter. Looks like starter lead and clutch hose got cut too. Really common when yanking a 2F from 60 to just slice all those at once.

Working on cleaning up the rear axel for leafs. Since this axel was found at the bottom of the ocean it has been a task. Not to mention at the moment i am getting 1 hour ever few weeks. Part of being a dad I guess.
Hopefully i can finish the grinding and tack on the leaf spring mounts by end of August.

I am about to tackle the same, without a plasma cutter. Should be fun

My plan was to get my lift leafs in and bolted in place and tacked approx where I want it. Put the weight on it and measure the angle and try to match the case. Worst case use shims after full weld

Good call on full weight. Maybe i can dry fit the bearings to tack it up. I was going to powder coat my housing once welded now i may just have to wire wheel and paint it.
I was planning on tractor painting it or similar, I think @dbbowen did something like that
