    About a year, one of the four small screws holding the housings together fell out and was causing a bad vibration.

    The tires were stock FJ Cruiser wheels and 265/70R17
    The front had 1" spacers over stock shocks and the rear had a 1.5" add-a-leaf.

    Your truck is really looking good, those new wheels and tire are the hot ticket. A true functional off road machine. Well done

    Dropped off my spindles and hardware today. Hopefully the added strength from the gussets and new components will last another 300,000 plus miles.

    I'm not actively trying to sell it, just put it out there to see if someone would make an offer. As for the next build, I want a double cab 1st gen or 2nd gen.

    Both seats are in and oh so much more comfortable.
    Wired up the power to the drivers seat and adjusted it.
    I still need to figure out where to mount the heater switches and wire them in.
