Thanks Wheelingnoob. I was planning on buying lotto tickets for my retirement but then I saw how it says "Not for investment purposes" so I thought this would make a good investment.

Yep fitting right in. [emoji6]Thanks Wheelingnoob. I was planning on buying lotto tickets for my retirement but then I saw how it says "Not for investment purposes" so I thought this would make a good investment.
Investments like this are a sure thing. Lotto is not.
Hell yeah, looks like a build to watch!
Any Update? I'm Subscribed!

Ok, sorry for the delays in posting. Got a bit further.
Most of the grinding is done on the frame.
Still have to do the around the steering box and the cross member there.
Axle housing is cut clean, just needs to be cleaned.
Knuckles are cleaned, now the minor rust needs to be removed.
And the tires are mounded and holding air. Woot. So F'ing ready for this to be done.

Long overdue update. No pics yet but have everything cut off and all brackets tacked on. This weekend is the part I am dreading most, cutting and mounting shock towers. Going to measure twice and cut once. Still scared. While every piece of 4Wheel Undersgrounds kit is pretty self explanatory where to go without instructions, the towers are a bit more... Free form.
I'll be sure to take more pics and get them posted.

Small update. Removed ABS, replaced all soft brake lines with new SS lines, PHH replaced, thermostat replaced, coolant flush, and oil change. Going to finish a few lose ends and get her to the alignment shop on Saturday (Fingers Crossed). Still have to run ARB air lines as well as mount the compressor. So many hours into this and even more $$$ but its coming together.
Additionally, ordered 4X4Labs Front & Rear bumpers along with rock rails/sliders. Also ordered Wits End MODIFIED TOYOTA BLUE FAN CLUTCH & SEAT EXTENSION BRACKET KIT. Winch will be ordered soon, looking at Smittybilt Gen2 X20 COMP 12k.
Lastly, big thanks to "Haymaker" for all the help on this. Couldn't have done it without you buddy.

Pictures coming this weekend.any pictures ??
I went through rear tires every 10-12k miles. Get the Pilot SuperSports. Come with a 15k mile warranty which I used every single time I needed tires. They do pro-rate though, but lasted longer than the pirellis and had better grip.

Loved the PSS got about 9k out of them. My tire dealer got pushback from Michlin as they would not prorate. Went with Toyo T1 Sports for half the cost and get about 5k miles on them. As for grip, not as good as PSS but 95% as good. With FJZilla 2.0 near done, C63 will get more garage time.
That sucks. Americas Tire Co. did it 6 times for me no questions asked.
