Nice, but why are you adding a rear locker when yours already has the e-locker?

Regarding the ARB vs Shockworks, I would check out this tread.
ARB or Shrockworks
Turns into a bit of a flame war as you go on, but at the beginning there is good information. BFAD made the point that ARB actually paid to crash test ther bumper. Would you rather have a better looking bumper (no doubt) or a bumper that has been tested to deploy airbags and save your family or yourself (I am selfish and ride solo a lot).
From there is was an easy answer for me. Plus the ARB is considerably cheaper.
Will be checking in to see how te build goes. Good luck!

Totally agree with this... and I've read so many threads on it, but just been on the fence about it over the looks. Then this morning I saw what Blcktpgsr did with his ARB and I think the debate is now over.

This should help you too if you haven't seen it.
ARB bull bar vs. deer - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum
I got mine for $797 shipped from Autoanything.com. Good deal when you go to pull the trigger.

Very nice rig! It reminds me of my old 99 4r. Dang all of these 5 spd 4runners are popping up like crazy. I couldn't find one for the life of me when I was looking to buy

231mm TBU Complete! I used the thread that BigFishAllDay put together here:
Hard to find Specs, Info & Measurements on 231mm 13WL Tundra Calipers & Rotors
He also came up with an adapter for the Motive power bleeder for one-manned bleeding:
I found "The One", 2001 Sport Ed. TRD SC'd
I don't have a Motive power bleeder, but I do have an air compressor, so I adapted this with a ball valve and quick disconnect. (pic soon) This worked amazing and I was able to completely flush the brake system with DOT4 by myself. BigFish, I can't thank you enough for the information in your threads... I haven't really tackled anything like this before, and it was really easy thanks to you.
..... And now some pics!
Old and busted:

Very Nice man! I wish I would have done this years ago, when I bought brand new calipers, disks and pads for mine! Instead, I just replaced with stock replacement stuff...
