then started to work on the transfer case plate. I got the cross member on then I went to take off the tube supports. Then this happened

Thats right all 8 bolts broke. What was left was very badly corroded. Already broke 3 drill bits trying to drill new holes to tap. Also one of the bolt holes in the radiator support bracket for the front plate is completely stropped out. Going to either get a time-sert in there or might just get a longer bolt and put a nut on the top of it.

Upgraded stock components to something a little more lively....
Loving my FJ. The aftermarket is incredible for this! Light bar mounts cost me $90, installed in 10 minutes, and work perfectly.
Got a front bumper for $500, snorkel, 5 piece budbuilts ($1060 new plus powder coat, paid $500), All Pro uniball UCAs ($600-700 new, paid $50 plus $178 for new uniballs and hardware), and a whole bunch of other things for a steep discount off fellow FJ owners. Can't freakin complain!
Only things I miss about my 4R:
Sunroof
Rear window
The headers and y-pipe I put on it...
Love how my post got deleted lol.
Thanks for the love, mods.

Same frame and engine, better transmission.

I havent seen an FJ come with a 4.7 yet. Until then, invalid.
