Jesse, can you upload a pic of the other side of the bumperette? I installed the half tire carrier and will be doing the same thing soon but might have an issue on the left side as the bumperette curves outward vs the space to bolt it.
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

I’ll get a pic when I get back into the shop. Remember there’s a left and right bumperette.
Thank you Sir, maybe mine are sprung or something. I send you a message with some pics of my dilemma.
Don’t be afraid to choose violence if they get out of hand.
nothing a little hot wrench, hammer and a vice cant fix.

Actually @Jdc1 that looks laser clean… nice job. The rear brake proportioning valve mount you made for mine is equally clean radius corners and fit !!
Gotta give credit where credit is due, as they say.

Just bought some 15" steel wheels and caps to replace the wagon wheels. Debating on painting them gray or pewter (or whatever color the glove box/gauge cluster is called)

I went with Rustoleum Smoke Grey and my only regret is not painting them white.

My spare is a 15" steel wheel. A bit rusty, was thinking of painting 1/2 grey 1/2 pewter and mount it and see which I like better. My truck is dark green so I think a color other than white would look better.
Here’s the other side.
It was hard not to blast both sides and make sure they matched exactly- a little grey on the bare metal that was cut will protect for a long time.
They Look good!!!
Nah you can handle it by yourself.
especially with the fender off.
After my recent 2” lift install my BJ40 developed the infamous driver-side lean so I installed a CCOT leveler block kit, yesterday, and the result is a perfectly leveled, no-lean rear.
