Replaced my worn bushing rear control arms with Metal Tech. Adjustables. It was my first time doing any suspension work so it took me twice as long as advertised.
I’m not planning on doing a lift anytime soon but I bought these for the possibility.

Put her into the dealership for some baseline maintenance. They were able to verify that the TB and WP were actually replaced at 180k, they did valve cover gaskets, (super glad I didn't try it, 3 of the bolts turned to powder taking them out) Oil and filter change, brake fluid flush and replace, coolant flush and replace, flush and replace all diff fluid, airbag sensor recall replacement, new key cut and programmed, and 5 new 275/60 R18s. Can't wait to get her back.
 
Finally installed my new Ironman4x4 front bumper and Harbor Freight Badlands APEX 12K winch.

From the last trip up to Flag last weekend.

I never wash it (Phoenix Sun/Heat + Vinyl Wrap + Wash = probably less life of vinyl) but I think this weekend she deserves to be washed before the sun is beating down, she is very dusty:

It's also time to install the blank plates and hardware that has been sitting to completely delete the roof rack bolts.

Care to share more details on your vinyl wrap? Looks great!
 
great install congrats! was it difficult?
How difficult was the winch install? I got lazy and installed the bumper before getting a winch LOL.
Initial impressions (I have zero experiences with winches to be fair): actually a well made, very complete unit with everything most people could possibly need. Every nut, bolt, extension wires, etc, are there to use. The components do not feel like low grade and was sorta surprised because of the cost compared to other nicer name brand winches (again, no experience here). The Ironman bumper luckily is a large bumper where clearance wasn’t an issue and the only thing needed was to remove the control box and mount it on top of the bumper which required me drilling two holes. Wires were long enough to run all the way to the battery with plenty of slack. The remote works well and the battery kill switch is a nice added accessory. Overall for $480, I don’t see how you can do better minus the 90 day warranty.

Install of the bumper itself was about 2 hours with a friend
Install of the winch was about 3 hours

planning to get the same winch so thanks for the feedback :) Also, the winch came with the fair lead and fabric cable?
 
McGeorge Toyota. He's got the best prices online. Let me know if you have any questions about the manifold replacement. I can tell you exactly what wobble bits I bought, etc. It's a very doable job, just takes patience. I didn't think it was bad at all but I've also done two PHH's on 80's soooooooo..........

Ugh, my driver side is ticking up a fierce storm and driving me crazy. Where did you source a replacement?
 
Will that Badland's 12K winch fit on an ARB?

Peut-être est-ce mieux adapté à son propre fil, mais pouvez-vous publier des photos de la bande en caoutchouc du dessus? Le mien ressemble à ceci:

Bonjour, je vous suis de France et je trouve votre site très bien fait, j'ai un 2004 100 en diesel. pour le bruit ça vient de la tige qui est fixée par des rivets, j'ai résolu le problème en mettant un joint en silicone tout du long avant de le fixer avec les rivets et après plus de bruit, je bricole beaucoup et pour les sphères je les modifie et les recharge avec azote avec 2 kg de plus car je pars en raid.
et voici mon 100
