what kind of hitch is that? Bought or built? Do you tow with it, or just bike racks, etc?

Looks like the old-school bolt to the crossmember hitch.

They do and it is a worthy upgrade. Nice to get rid of the deep groove from the grease seal as well.
Cheers

might have to to that....
There are several versions of the "bolt to crossmember" hitch, I have one of them currently. But it still interferes with my skinny 35" spare. The one @Outsane posted looks like it stays completely aft of the crossmember by the pic

I'm assuming that's because the tube extends back into where the tire sits? I've seen the other version somewhere, can't remember exactly where.There are several versions of the "bolt to crossmember" hitch, I have one of them currently.

Yeah, the receiver tube extends about 3/4" behind the crossmember, which is just enough to mess up my spare (which lightly rubs the panhard anyway 
). Trying to decide whether to modify it, build from scratch or what. I bought the pintle/ball combo hitch, but the thing sticks out so far I feel like I'd need to unbolt it just to go wheeling. If an off-the-shelf option exists that's actually strong enough to tow (US tow ratings aside), I'd buy that sucker in a heartbeat.

Made a crank pulley holding tool so I can torque the bolt.

How long did the job take you?

Solid front rotor?
Is it just a matter of unplugging it?
But of course, all in stock
We stock the bushings separate, the bushing/bearing combo separate or the full spindle with the pre-installed bearing/bushing. Most are available from us in OEM or aftermarket variants too
We stock the new variant spindles in both OEM Toyota and Joint Fuji Japanese too
As noted can actually use the long bushing in the new spindle and vice versa. There are a few out there that prefer the bushing only (Kevin RIP!!)

Got the @NLXTACY land tank seat extension installed and like others have said it is like driving a new truck. I was honestly blown away at how big of a difference it makes, not only the extra length but the extra height. Highly recommend for anyone tall that feels cramped. At 6”3’ best upgrade for the money IMO
