Upgraded the axles to Dynatrac Pro Rock 60s with discs in the back. The brake lines are 3/16” stainless lines and braided lines.

Beautiful!

I am slightly distracted by those Harbor Freight jack stands tho...

:panic
 
But unnecessary. A rubber grommet allows movement where hard lines hard mounted can’t move. Movement allows premature wear and breakage.

Ummm... you have both types on yours here.

The twin stick on the FJ case allows me to choose low or high gear in 2wd or 4wd. Then the crawl box of course gives me even lower if needed. Can be run whether the FJ case is in low or high so it gives me a lot of combinations to choose from.

Method Wheels, Falken Tires and Radflo adjustable coil overs.
Also a pic of the rear fenders trimmed. The bumper was also cut to match the length of the flares and then re capped so you can’t tell

The steering box and brakes have all been upgraded to 1 ton. The rear brakes are disc now as well.
