Post trip to the beach and some rain here, I got to go outside at 9pm last night and figure out which of the vehicles horn was blaring unrelentingly. Turns out it was the LC. So I get to follow some possible leaks/shorts this weekend!

Looks great. What is the difference between the standard mount and the heavy-duty mount listed on the website? Thanks.
Now that you're an expert, you can swing by and do mine too!Finally got around to changing my front most front diff bushing that I’ve been dreading. As happens most of the time it wasn’t near as tough as I thought it would be. I was ready with an air chisel but didn’t even use it.
When I removed the bolt the inside of the bushing just fell out. It was definitely shot. It took me about 10 minutes to remove the bushing with a BFH and hand chisel. I pressed the new bushing back in with a ball joint press. The toughest part of the whole operation was just getting the new bushing to start straight. All in all the entire job took about an hour.
Now my clunk is gone and everything just feels tighter. I should have done this a long time ago!!!

What did you order off amazon?I did my tailgate this week too (i found it easier than the hood i did last year).
Also cleaned out the AC cabin box. I bought a dryer lint brush from menards to help clean it out and then AC foaming coil cleaner to clean it (multiple times over a day). I thought my AC drain drained fine but after the cleaning, it is much better and no more drip on the passenger side.
I did order the filters from amazon and just sawed off the tips and the filters fit fine in the stock LC box.

Amazon product ASIN B002E5BW1AWhat did you order off amazon?
Hah! Yeah. I think the issue most people have is not using a big enough BFH and chisel. I used a 3lb sledge and a beefy chisel. The bushing metal gave like butter with that setup.Now that you're an expert, you can swing by and do mine too!

A lot of good info and discussion in this thread:Is there a right up for this? Or a video that you followed?
Last Saturday I flew down to Atlanta and drove this beauty back to DC. Bought it from @r71. Now our FJ62 has a buddy.
This will stay mostly stock (maybe sliders in the future). I do have some minor cosmetic upgrades on the way which I’ll post when all the parts come in.

Whats the mileage on it? It looks very clean. Nice looking truck!
226k on the 100, super clean. 62 has 232k.
I'm very jealous of your 60. I'm hoping by the time I have the disposable income (kids are older) to find one they haven't sky rocketed up too much.
i want a 60 too, and an 80. lol
