Got my plasma cutter in yesterday, pretty sweet to be able to zap through some cuts with minimal effort.

Started with a template for the lower link guards since I banged then up pretty bad last time, and they are small so figured it’s a good starting point.

Decided it wasn’t the effort to make templates, buy more sheet metal, cut and fab the differential skid so placed an order for the RCI one today, can’t wait to get it in.

The remainder of the skids I plan to fab myself. I need to make a gas tank skid, and some lower shock guards. Once the FJ transfer case is in I may think about fabricating a cross member with a skid to go under it as well since I sat it right on the tcase skid a few times as well..

Got the inner and outer tie rods replaced yesterday with a driveway alignment and took some time this morning making sure there were no loose connections along my steering shaft anywhere. Found a thread on the tacom forums talking about play in the shaft resulting from a slip joint wearing out and needing a small tack weld. Come to find out after taking it al apart that the 4tunner is different. So no issues anywhere and I should be good to go.

Next up will be gearing up for the FJ tcase swap.. hopefully I can have it knocked out next week. Then I also have to tackle the cab mount relocation kit (which I’m hoping the plasma cutter will make much quicker) as well as getting the cam tab gussets knocked out.
