Built some rear storage drawers. I’m pretty happy with the results. Really needed.
and snorkel installed

NEW???? It's BETTER than new!!!
the parts are just shy of $40 each. Yeah, I'm an idiot. I took off the first inner door panel as that is what I did when I did my Tundra.
I was half way through the 2nd door before I realized the seals just pop off.
turned a
job into an unnecessary pain in the butt.
there is a plastic clip on each end. then the middle sections just clamp down on the sheet metal of the door. I found it easiest to pop the ends up and try to slide the seal back a little. then just pull up and it will slide off.

Did a 5-tire rotation a couple of weeks ago, first time the spare has been on pavement since installed new last spring. Discovered this caused a really annoying wiggle/vibration any time above 65 mph. Took it to the largest dealer in the area (Portsmouth Toyota) yesterday, had all 5 tires Road Force Balanced. Smooth as glass now.
Surprisingly, they have 4 brand new 200's on the lot. They have a white '18 in the showroom, no rear screens.
Oh, and my ARB drawers showed up yesterday.

I had a shocking experience today installing ARB recovery points. I didn’t round off any bolt heads or break any bolts, even though stock bolts were pretty rusty. I hit them with PBlaster last weekend. The ARB instructions were well done and easy to understand. I think I managed to complete the installation without uttering a single curse word — I must have done something wrong.
You did apply Anti-sieze to the new bolts, right?

I think you did do something wrong ...
Difficult to say for sure based on your photo, but it looks like you mounted the ARM recovery points angled out where they should be angled in.
Maybe it's just the pic?

Probably not important...because the only part that is offset on these ARB recovery points is the beginning of the slot that allows you to feed the threaded part of the shackle through the point. *The actual pull-point at the front of the ARB is centered in front of the bolts regardless of which direction they angle due to the slot/hole. In other words... the angled portion that looks weird is just the part that accommodates the angled nature of the slot for the shackle. Whether that slot ends up out-to-in...or in-to-out...the point the shackle pulls forward to in real use will be centered in front of the bolts either way.

Nope, I installed them per ARB instructions.
The slot for the shackle is angled inward. That puts the bulbous part outboard. You can’t see the slot from that angle.

Here is a picture of the driver side recovery point. The slot is angled to the center.

The whole front end on mine has a clear bra so years of driving to the mountains and back has had no effect on the paint but the poor front camera had some decent pitting. Broke down eventually and started sanding, wet sanding and then polished the lens a bit and was surprised how well it cleaned up. Not perfect as I didn't spend as much time on it as I should have but image is back to nice and clear.
Looks great! But ... your warning sticker is upside-down
Just kidding!
It is right side up when you are on your back looking up at it
