Should have added that it looks great. Did you get the diff sorted out?
At your request, @jynx. 
Cue the ACDC...
Scuffed the chrome and cleaned to receive primer. Cut the bottom out in order to mount the LED light bar directly on the bumper. And, cut out the interior portion of the T to have a see through look.

And, the original diff is still in the truck minus one tooth. I found a new to me diff with 116k miles at Flat Rock Salvage. It's been cleaned and repainted. Just waiting in the garage to be installed.

See what looks like a patrol vehicle to the drivers side, interesting......
Plasti Dipping the bumpers on the 4Runner. Got dark on me so finishing up in the garage tonight
Looks a lot better with the chrome gone. Yes, one side of my house is a different color. I needed a break from painting stucco today.
New brake pads all around. I guess what they say about 80s and brake pads is true…I got 18k miles out of this set of pads and they were down to the wear indicators...

Once again, another outstanding job by Shawn. Picked it up today and looks awesome. Getting closer to putting this beast back together. I'm stoked.

Well I got the rear axle done today and as suspected the 15" wheels will not clear calipers. So know I need 16" wheels, [Rance those Tundra wheels sure would be nice setting on my 4runner.lol]

These are for a fj40 or fj60, but I'm going to weld the bracket in a new place so it will work on the fj80 axle

Can anybody tell me what the tin cover on the back of the calipers that wraps around the caliper slides with the 2 black bolts holding it on, it is loose and the bolts are tight.
Anti squeakers?
Yeah, sounds like you're talking about the shim that goes between the piston and the pad that helps prevent squealing.
