Oh, and start planning for FG08

I have to fix the rear diff. I'm still up in the air on what i'm going to replace it with. I broke the center pin in the carrier with the lock right. I broke one in my 4runner and now the cruiser I have always liked lock rights but i drive to aggressively for them. I solved it by going to a V6 rear end in the 4runner with a 4pinion rear but there isn't a cruiser 4Pinion option.
Fix the front bumper, Ian hit a tree and it snapped all the
factory rivets that hold the mount to the frame.
Have a rear disc brake set-up from Jason thats going on.
Scored a gift card at the raffle and plan to use that for parts so I can
re-gear with 4:88's.
I'll probably flip the rear springs to gain some wheel-base.
Start saving for an Orion! (need to really crawl)

this is a trick question for me. I plan on having the 45lv done but would be torn on wheeling the 62 a bit harder.
for the fj62 though my plans are as follows
- roll cage
- just picked up a hj61 overhead consul has amap lights temp and altimeter guages and control for a sun roof. might see if I can use the sunroof controls for something else
- new seat
- h55.
- 4" alcan spring lift.
how much of that I actually do before the lv is finished depends on the length of time each project takes in that the 62 i my dd but once the lv is on the road. . .

Harness the momentum of this year's event into next year's event and a lot of trail cuts and smaller trail runs in between.
Make it up to my wife since I missed her birthday (the 29th).

We missed you at FG Harry.
Sure there is...an ARB air locker for a full float axle in a full float rear axle.
The standard ARB is 3 pinion 'cause you still need to get C-clips in there. ARB sells (or used to sell) a 4 pinion air locker for full float axles.
Guess you drive a little harder than I do: I twisted an axle shaft ALMOST off with my V8 FJ40 many years ago but never had an issue with the pinion shaft.
