I think the solution is to figure out a way to pull it higher in between the frame rails and behind the last cross member. Make it sit on the same level as the gas tank, or taller

Shock boots? I have shock skid plates from FJ toyman. What boots are you referring to?

good, those are life savers for the damn bolt.
Rubber boots to protect the shaft from rocks being slung at them.
first google option that popped up for me

Thanks man! Sorry havent logged on here in a while.
I like Ironman stuff. I've only had a few things from them and they all seem like quality. Their customer service is great

Thanks!
It gets used off road when I have the chance. This thread is mainly just for the build. Follow my IG [MENTION=536139]TRDHULK[/MENTION]
I work a lot and needed several things buttoned up before taking it back off road. The 35's were more work than expected lol.
Working out the last details to my ARB compressor and Sponsored by Wifey air system. Waiting for a few pieces to come in the mail.

I know I already see your 5th gen all over Instagram, just a friendly nudge to go out and actually use this thing
35s take a lot of work to get right: Upgraded steering rack, BMC, chopped fenders and flares, upgraded steering knuckle, gears, the list goes on and on.
A heads up on how you have your dual compressor mounted, I mounted mine in the same place. Make sure you have multiple bolts attaching your bracket to the fender. The metal is paper thin there and it will eventually cause the bracket mounting points to fail from off road vibration if you dont mount it in multiple places. Ask me how I know...

I'd love to use it off road more. I work in the car business so hours are crazy, and have a family too lol. Many times when I go off road its by myself, so no camera person. Thats one reason I got the Insta360 Camera.
35s sure do take a lot of work. I've done most everything you mentioned except the steering knuckle and gears. Don't find that necessary yet but time will tell.
What compressor mount did you use? This one is MORE. it does bolt in multiple spots

My liftgate got a little heavy with the molle panel and recovery gear I added, so I had to upgrade the struts. Might also at a Gobi ladder in the future.
I read a lot of reviews on different replacements. Many of the options had complaints.
These are from Amazon and work great. They are made by Lift Supports Depot.

I haven't updated in a while; not too much has changed.
Swapped out the 315 KM3's for 35x12.5's
Installed my dual ARB compressor with M.O.R.E. mount
Looking awesome! Can I ask what the main difference was between going from a 315 to a 35 in terms of fitment? I’ve already done an aggressive BMC, pinch welds, and front fender liner and some rocker cap trimming, just not sure how much of the fender bracket needs to go. I’m in -12 RRWs so it should be *slightly* easier to tuck, but I’d prefer to not have to cut my actual fender if I can get away with it…
