Finally got the ARB quick fitting mounted to the front using their bracket that I modified.
Also added a battery isolation switch for the Comeup 12.5rs winch, rated up to 500 amps. Sourced a bracket to mount it.

Got to learn about air pump valve bolts quite intimately. What a pain in the butt this was...

Finally got all of my wiring done... for now. Ran 8 gauge from the battery to a fuse block mounted to the forward face of my drawers. I cut to fit a rubber mat as a mounting surface/dampener/insulation.
Now have power to my 12v gang on the rear face of the drawers:
Have power for my fridge:
Have my Icom ID-5100a mounted to the forward face of the drawers as well. Ran a mic extension to the center console and mounted the mic hook where it was easy to reach, largely out of sight and doesn't get in the way. Also using a mag mount for the head unit that mounts in the CD slot:
...and finally one last mod for the week, possibly the most important of all...

Drove to Ohio and picked up a used Turtleback trailer and then stopped at Ed Martin Toyota in Indiana, on the way home, to drop the LC off for some R and R and to have some new mods done.
Thank you to @Eric Sarjeant for loaning me a Tundra to finish towing the Turtleback home. Looking forward to getting my LC back soon. Droped it off yesterday and already miss driving it.

Having trouble telling if this is a 40 or a 200...

Thanks for all the photos. I got mine in and sent front ones off for Power Coating in the Bronze of the Heritage Ed. May well paint the others like you did. Was all teh installation intuitive? I can see that for the big panels but wonder about the position of the small/thin alum. plate, brackets and and the cross brace.
Most of the panels were pretty easy to install going from the back of the vehicle forward.
The only issues we had were the connecting point of the fuel tank skid and the transfer case cover as you need to have most of bolts / nuts loose and get the angle just right to button it up correctly (one of the bolts connects both and there is very little room to work with).

Side note - isn't that Bluesea SafetyHub 100 fuse box great! I used one on my auxiliary battery to eliminate three separate Redarc MIDI fuse holders. I don't have any need for ATO/ATC fused side - I wish they made a 3-4 position MIDI fuse holder of this same design without the other part.

Yep, love the Blue Sea SafetyHub - have one on each battery.

Must have just missed you, I dropped it off at about noon on Saturday. Having some maintenance done, a Trekbox put in and a couple of other odds and ends.
Whoa. That is a Code Brown moment.
How hard was it to peel your hands off the steering wheel after that?
Spent Friday in Big Bear. Good day until a rock or tree root sliced my driver rear sidewall about 1". The tire lost air each rotation and I was like "what is that new noise? blown shock?". In the middle of Gold Mountain trail, which is a bad place for that to happen. Limped down the rest of the trail, stopping every few minutes to pump the tire back up. Made it to the bottom and we stuffed 4 plugs into it. Pumped it up and it held. 80 miles back to the house. Kind of a stressful drive. Anyway, plugs are still in and still holding pressure. Going to upgrade from ST Maxx to STT PRO's. E rated tires, gotta love them.
My spare was the original OEM, so wrong size to drive back on that far. (Yup, bonehead oversight). I will upgrade the spare too this time.
Still better than being at work.

Good thing you made it safely my friend
