That’s quite the pack out!
Ive got Timbren bump stops, but no bottoming out, even with a few hundred pounds of brick the other week.
Definitely think I want to throw in drawers or keep my recovery gear and tools in there full time.

Great idea for the under drawer storage
What’d you do w the black plastic in the wheel well? Push it forward and drill some holes to secure it?
I started that way, with a heat gun, mashed the back down flat against the hammered pitch weld, the front I chopped off right below where the fender bolt attaches it.
plasti dipped the wheels. nothing special, but i’ve wanted black wheels for a while. don’t want to buy new wheels until i need new tires.
not great with plastidip, but pretty happy with how it turned out for 10 minutes of prep time and a spray can for each wheel.

Failed state inspection. Nothing like failure to get one motivated. Left front wheel bearing diagnosed as bad. Go through the trouble of deleting the air bags in lieu of a TJM lift. Rears done in no time. Front, according to the interweb, is a cake walk in comparison. Wrong. Pennsylvania Winters and Myrtle Beach summers say otherwise-thanks PO’s……… Rust is something I do not miss from my time up North. This joyful experience took 17 hours this past weekend (including two hours of running around to find replacement tools when I broke the old ones.

Boom, both sides in the front were welded to the towers. Good times you say? My watch agrees. used the ball joint separator to massage the strut assembly out. Good for the State Inspector, he didn’t graduate 1st grade because the right wheel bearing is bad, not the left. Glad I got into it though. There were a lot of bits and pieces that worked but were on their last leg.
Rear caught a little lift, front only came up about an inch. New inner and outer CV boots left side, CV’s are discontinued from Toyota. Partsouq out of the Toyota inner/outer boot kit so I had to use the stash parts bin. Always nice to shop for “free”. Parking brake was inoperable. Removed the ratcheting handle, cleaned out the old grease, sprayed in some white lithium, and readjusted the tension on the drivers side. The paint tool works like a charm to adjust the star wheel inside the rear drums. New brake shoes on order along with every seal in the rear axle. Grease everywhere!!! A few more weekends and she will be doing better than when she came home five years ago.
Paint key = genius
Nothing better than etching primer and John Deere Blitz Black curing in an enclosed space.

Rubitrek Redemption Trip was a success! Last weekend one of my new Rubitreks failed within 60 miles, resulting in an expensive tow home. Now it's been replaced and we're back in action. Went camping in the middle of nowhere and had a lovely time.
Took a short trip to the homie's shop to swap my failing alternator (went with a Sequoia Denso reman for the time being).
That Scrambler and Blazer are ridiculously clean.

This is more "what did you do with your 120 2 weeks ago"
Swapped my chonky Hakkapalitta studs & Methods for some 255/80/17s Wildpeak AT3s on some 4Runner wheels until I have to be at the mountain by 6:30 in the morning next winter. Plastidipped them with white & a pearalizer, but they just ended up a different color of silver from stock, so I'm gonna redo it at some point.

Is the Sequoia alternator a straight swap? My Tundra's is dying and I've heard the Sequoia has a bigger one.
Yes. I did this on my gx.
Straight swap on my GX. Expect it is on a Tundra too, but can't say for sure. 150a vs 130a in the GX. There was one Sequoia Denso reman on Amazon for $163 that wasn't going to get to me until Thursday. My buddy found the only one in Portland at IMC and we got it installed.
Wouldn’t happen to have a part number for that, would ya?
