Sounds like a good plan.
My to do list before FJNE is to do both my lower bj's and bushings on my LCA's ,rear LCA, new Heavy LT springs, tranny drain/fill/flush, re paint skids and the new ones that I'm getting from the RCI GB (gas tank,diff skid) all new skid bolts and hopefully finishing up my cargo drawers in the next few weeks. Not too bad I plan to knock everything out in one full day maybe two with the painting and stuff.
Well that's the plan as of right now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that work doesn't interfere. If all goes as planned then yes we will definitely be getting in a full day of wheeling on Thursday! I think that would be cool to do a 4runner run that day with whoever is down there.

Speaking of to do lists, I'm ahead of the schedule. Suspension, armor and tires installed last week, now waiting for the CBI swingout to get here in April. [MENTION=79132]Nyc-Runner[/MENTION] might be faster to just replace your LCA's rather than messing around with ball joints and bushings especially that Rock auto has them for cheap

Nice . I wish i was getting my bumper before this run! It'll pry just be starting to get built around then. Hopefully now that the weather is starting to get nicer ( aside from today when it snowed on the first day of spring haha) I can start getting more of these things done. I saw the ones on rock auto but i figured i'd save the $500 and just do the BJ's and bushing's myself and put the money towards other mods. New BJ's were $25 each and i got upgraded poly bushings for $74 [MENTION=47269]Darklight[/MENTION] has a couple of really good write ups on T120 for both the BJ's and bushings. So i i'm planning a mod day at my buddy's shop to knock them out, only the driver side BJ is bad but i figured i mid as well do both at the same time and then the bushings while i'm at it.

I Just finished both my LCA's, Yes i ended up having to replace both of them due to my front cam bolts and sleeves seized up on both sides:frusty: gotta love the northeast :smow: got a fresh alignment.Threw my skids back on so i'm good to go everything is freshly painted and ready to get scraped up! I do have my ABS,VSC and slip light on now after doing to driver side i think i stretch the wire's on the ABS sensor wire harness, So I'm getting the wire harness last min this week and will be throwing in at the campgrounds and hopefully it'll solve the problem! If not i just have Atrac next week while wheeling,not the end of the world, i'll just have to pick a better line or us more skinny pedal haha:lookout: Always something!

I'm doing my compressor today too

Yeah, about that lol. A buddy and I ran my wiring, switches and air line. I thought I could get by by temporarily mounting the base of the compressor behind the passenger headlight without a bracket. I quickly realized that wasn't going to happen. So, I don't have the compressor itself mounted. Really bummed.

Most definitely. I hope to find something before then but it's not looking good.

What requirements do you have that you're not able to find a place to mount it? You don't want it in the engine bay? I know I didn't. I put mine in the glove box. But mine is a old 1984 1st gen. So cutting holes and losing a glove box was not a big deal.
Almost all of the new truck guys I run with have them in the engine bay. 1 or 2 guys have them in the rear over the rear wheel well or behind the plastic like where the stock brown Toyota jack is.

What trail level are you guys running? I'm only taking the 4th gen this year. Probably will stick to greens.
Do you already know who's group you're running in?
Lipek you leading greens? You need a tail?
