Sweet ride! Welcome.
Welcome, that is a beefy looking bumper.
Replaced the 17” Toyota wheels with some 16” wheels from a Lexus LX470. Sanded the wheels down and painted them black. Mounted some 33” mud tires on the Lexus wheels.
I didn’t. It rides great. Just cranked up the torsion bars on both sides with the truck on a jack.
Finally DONE with my garage refresh! Can't wait to just use it now! I filled in all of the expansion joints and then coated with Rustoleum Rocksolid in Metallic Blue. It is a little darker than I expected, but still looks good IMO. I am so excited to be able to roll my creeper or jack or engine hoist all over the floor without getting hung up on cracks or joints!

Getting ready to finally put the front locker on
After almost 1,000 miles since I replaced the LBJs, UBJs and outer tie rods I decided to take a look at them for precautionary measures. I remember reading a thread about a fellow mudder having his ball joints fail without any warnings, so I just felt I had to check it. While at it I also rotated the tires.

Passenger side retightened okay but I went went king kong on the driver side UBJ castle but and probably may have stripped it. In the process I also wasn’t able to put in the lock pin.
In the process, I also wasn’t able to put in the lock pin since the hole doesn’t line up on one of the gaps of the castle nut. Any suggestions gents?

What kind of prep work went into painting the floor @J1000 ? It looks awesome. Hot/warm tires won't lift the paint will they?Finally DONE with my garage refresh! Can't wait to just use it now!

If you’ve torqued to spec, FSM says OK to tighten further until the holes line up.
Apparently I have developed a awesome relationship with the parts house.

And now the hood. If not for a couple mistakes (my own impatience), it could have been 95%.
LeXy got a good detail yesterday... she was muddy from the previous weekend.

Put a wrench on it and keep giving it some taps with a hammer until it lines up.
We recently had our driveway and garage pad repoured so I waited until it was fully cured and then used the Rustoleum Rocksolid kit which includes a concrete etcher to use before laying down the coating. Rocksolid is a polyurethane based floor coating that bonds very strongly to the concrete and is designed for garage floors. And yes it resista hot tire pickup.
