FINALLY got around to installing my Wits end fire extinguisher bracket. I’ve just got a cheap ABC in there for now, I plan on getting a Halatron or CO2 extinguisher eventually, but that’s a tough $200 pill to swallow.
I went with quick fist super clamps, I’m not overly pleased with how they mount, but they’re very functional.
I’ve also got a rescue tool mounted BEHIND the bracket and I’m probably going to attach a QR FAK to the back of the bracket as well.
Excellent job with the design [MENTION=124732]LawnDart[/MENTION]!

Drove it to NYC to watch Aladdin on Broadway. It was good but didn’t top The Lion King.

In the words of the philosopher Freak Nasty, when I dip, you dip, we dip.
Avery Dennison vinyl on the hood and middle with plasti-dip on the lower. Wanted to see the difference.

PS: when pulling tape, I found Mold&Hold is your friend for cleaning up uneven lines. See below versus lines in the pic above.

Tore my ABS Wire Today
Received my new ball joints from JBA due to rusting. While replacing them, I forgot to unbolt the ABS wire bracket from the UCA.
Now my ABS lift is solid on and my traction control and 4wd indicator flashes. I'll get to test out tomorrow if it's just one or both of them I tore lol.

That looks great! What parts did you use / how much lift did you get?

Put a small lift in on Sunday. Went with the FJ TRD Bilstein suspension that Toyota seems to be liquidating.
Maybe it's just confirmation bias, but she drives much, much better. Plus, what's not to hate about a little TRD red flashing from the wells?
Installation was a breeze. I have some mechanical aptitude, but I've never braved messing with suspensions... as springs are downright scary. But the compressorless install method was amazingly simple and quick. Took a buddy and I four hours to complete, start to end including a break.
Gained about one inch in the front to sightly level out the rake.
So far, so good!

I honestly do not know. They were installed when I bought it last year.

Leveled my Bismarck
Finally bought a kit that allowed me to level my truck. This is how it was sitting after the kit was installed
The kit was very easy to put in, but I have uninstalled it because it took a lot of space in the cargo area.
That is 500 lb of laminate flooring and some underlying foam for my 350 sq ft room I'm going to install this week.

You just tore your speed sensor wire it will cause both the ABS and 4x4 lights to flash. Replacing it is pretty straight forward unless you have a dual battery setup sitting on the passenger side wheel well like me

Yeah, used a multimeter and found it the driver side was torn. No dual battery here. Ordered a new harness for about $55. Wish they were just a tad longer. Hoping I can add some slack with the new harness from the spindle up to where it connects up to the bracket near the engine.
Also gonna play around with the torn one and keep it as a backup.
