Mine 1st door that I have patched did the same thing. I tried portapowering it back up and heating an cooling. Finally after I got it to within a 1/16", I filled it with filler to get it flat.

Welded on my relocated drivers-side shock tower. Previously bolting it kept coming loose. New Bilsteins. Worked on replacing my tie rod ends. Had to cut 4.5" inches out of the po tierod to put the steering stabilzer end back on that was missing.
This thread PTO Winch Information - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/pto-winch-information.608355/ will give you all of the info you need
FYI you have shock turned the wrong way.
Which bilstein shock number are you using?
Fixed the trailer lights so I now have blinkers and runners and learned splicers dont work on 45 year old Toyota wiring lol. damn separate brake lights had me befuddled. Will be searching for a 6 pin male I guess (to match what was on there) but sounds like its more complicated than that.
Been playing around with paracord teaching the boys some knots and decided to get crafty on the steering wheel. I think I like it, looking forward to some new callouses.

What's the pocket knife? Looks like a good slim, small-ish size. I like that for having in my pocket. The big ones can stay in the truck or the camping bin.
(The 40 looks great too)
^^ Knife is a Petrified Fish. Good and cheap bowie blade (my fav) D2 tough.

Nope. Look them up on bilsteins site. We went through this before if you search the forums.
B8 5125, 33-062518 for the stock oem spring height.
Thanks! I’ll take a look. I looked up images yesterday and it was turned the other way. In the google search I just put shocks on fj40 but pretty sure I seen some bilstein shocks on the images turned the opposite way.
I want this!!!! Where can you buy one.
Do I install boot up or boot down? - https://academy.bilsteinus.com/knowledge/do-i-install-boot-up-or-boot-down They should be mounted so you can read the label upright.
Thanks! I did notice that and was going to post something about it but you beat me to it. When I looked again last night I’ve seen several turn it one way and others the opposite way. However it does make sense that the label being upright. I just installed the drivers front Saturday night and the rears over a month ago. Nothing like doing something twice.

While we are out in Orange County visiting our daughter and SIL, I made a pilgrimage north to check-in with Mark A. of Mark's Off-Road (@65swb45 ). We had a good visit and I had the pleasure in riding along in his blue 45 series truck. I have to admit that I was kind of like the proverbial kid in a candy store geeking out over all of the Land Cruiser parts in his shop. 
Just in case anyone is confused, I'm the short ugly one.

You can buy it Here or if you know how to 3D print that’s also an option.
Been practicing with the Mig after finally getting it set up…….. thinking I’m all ready for some ‘minor’ body repair to fill in some small rust holes
Then this…….

Keep at it. You will get the hang of it. What size wire? On the thin stuff, I found that it really helped to use the smaller wire and a copper backing plate. Go slow and don't build up too much heat to avoid the dreaded warpage. I also found that there was a huge difference between practicing on the workbench and going live on the vehicle.
Hoo hah - yeah - let's go! 
Got it to run! Feels like a huge weight off my shoulders. Once I figured out the fuel delivery/pressure problem I was having it fired right up. That was after about 3 days of me questioning why I took this on. Next job is to order some driveshafts and get it on the road.
