Ah ok. I heard great things about ozark too. Plus they have a nice little youtube channel so you can at least check out their work.

Going back the Body Mount Chop.
I was reading another article on it yesterday and noticed the words "body shop." It finally clicked that any body shop ought to be able to do a BMC and there is one 3 miles down the road from me.
Stopped in there yesterday and asked the owner about it and installing my UCAs. He looked at a youtube video on the BMC and said - no problem. He will use his plasma cutter, then weld on a piece of steel from his inventory, followed by covering it bedliner.
Dropped the 4Runner off this morning with my SPC UCA's to install. Also lined up 33 inch (LT285/70R17) Yokohama Geolander M/T tires - to be installed from the Tire Shop across the street.
Talked to the body shop owner just now. He said it's done just waiting on the tires to arrive.
Total for the BMC and installing the UCA's = $375!
$210 of that was the BMC.

Hopefully the tires will be on sometime today.
This last Saturday I attended a Rigs & Coffee event at Artemis Overland Hardware in Springfield.
Artemis Overland Hardware
They do a get together once a month. Next one is April 3rd from 10am to 12pm.
Link goes to facebook:
Rigs and Coffee: Springfield, MO
Me (camo hat) in the back checking out the FJ
At noon most everyone lines up and convoys over to Glade Top Trail:
I'd say 75% of that group of 50 vehicles dropped off and headed home from there. The rest found a hilltop to set up camp for the night:
A few of us (9 vehicles or so) hit one of the gnarly off road trails. I followed this Land Rover who led the trail ride.
I did 2 videos of the trail. Feel free to skip this 1st video (vertical oriented) and watch the 2nd one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY7b2tbwjGw
About 6mins into the 2nd video, I stopped and gave a Nissan Pathfinder behind me a tug up 2 rock ledges with my kinetic tow rope. He didn't have much in the way of articulation plus really needed a locker or Atrac on this trail.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tPQJo0tDqs
I hung out for a little at the hill top campsite and then headed home. I wasn't prepared to overnight with food / camping gear.
Was a good time and y'all are welcome to join us.

Hoping to have it back home later today.
Reason for the BMC - I expect this wont be my last tire / wheel change.
Might as well get it all done in one shot.
I note the tire looks stuffed in the wheel well. I might move the shocks up one setting in the near future.

That is low to clear 285’s. I thought mine was a little on the low side at 22.5” front, 23.25” rear.
No lean. Do you have KDSS?

Are you going to shim up one side with spacers or with a shock adjustment?

No - I wouldn't notice the lean if I didn't have a tape measure.

Did you have to move your sway bar so it didn’t hit the bracket on the warn bumper and if so did it cause your sway bar to contact your skid plate or does it all fit properly?

The Warn bracket touches my sway bar. I haven't had any issues with it.
In the larger Warn bumper thread, some members cut a notch in the bracket to clear the sway bar. Others left off those brackets. Pretty sure if you look at some of the other hybrid bumpers on the market - they don't use those brackets.
New Warn Semi-Hidden Winch Kit bumpers
Reminds me, I need to crawl under there and double check the bumper mounting to Warn bumper. When I had the BMC done, they trimmed my bumper to allow for the 33 inch tires.
Need to double check to see if that everything is still attached correctly.
