Aggressive, but very bad ass. What does this leave as your next low point? Gas tank I assume?

correct here are my measurements:
Engine / oil pan - 12.5"
transfer case - 17"
gas tank and back to center diff - 14.75" (no change here)
of course the large change is in middle, now just pick correct line and should be able to go over a lot of things without issue.

Here’s some more info on Bud’s FJ work from back in the day.
Inchworm Lefty Install: FJ Cruiser Gets a Tummy Tuck | Expeditionr
It’s not really rocket science but as usual Bud and Rob get the job done right.

What skidplates are those, or are they custom and designed for after the tuck job?

they are BudBuilt stainless steel skid plates. They are slightly different from their standard skid plates and built for the tummy tuck.

I'm not sure, but should be far sooner than later. They should be posting a video soon about it.

Well then, this solves my pinched exhaust crossover. This seems like a better option than replacing with a new Y-Pipe.

I felt like I gained a 2000 pounds when I sold my 3rd and bought a 5th... at least this will give it a waistline

Ride today with big butt
I went out to Uwharrie today and rode all the trails and some a few times. as slow as tried to go going down some big ledges the 4R's big butt slammed down a few times. I guess this is what the back bumper is for.
Absolutely love the new tummy tuck. I was able to go over some rocks today i never would have tried a month ago and I do not think I ever dragged the skids. I did use my sliders which is great as that's what they are there for. the 4R was already very capable but now it's an entirely different beast.
