    Got rear ended coming up to a stop light and surprisingly no damage. I have on video but it says can't upload because of extension ?! Anyway, person was on phone and doing 20 mph or so. If you didn't have ladder, I suspect there would be no damage as well. I wonder if Toyota will just put a whole new hatch on in a case like this ? Glad everyone is ok, keep us informed on fix.

    Yeah I sent the pics to our dealership and they said with it being creased and bowed down they will most likely order a new hatch. We have our dash cam footage from hers but the file is too big. We sent it over to the woman’s insurance company this morning and luckily on our side she also texted my wife about an hour or so ago asking her to please reconsider filing it with insurance and she knows it’s her fault and a brand new truck but she can pay for all damages and a rental. I decided to look her up and she’s an orthopedic surgeon here in knoxville. So she does have the money to pay for it. But I feel like it still needs to be taken care of by her insurance incase anything else comes up.

    Well in a completely bs turn of events our insurance is now handling it. Turns out the jeep the woman was driving did not have insurance on it. So state farm says there’s nothing they can do.
    At Toyota now and they are saying with the bottom being folded in they will be replacing the entire hatch assembly but will reuse the glass and plastics. The black trim around the handle will have to be replaced though as the ladder contacted it and cracked it (I didn’t catch that part) and for deminished value I have to wait until the work is completed and have the truck appraised. (Never dealt with that so not sure what happens there )

    Currently nothing. King suspension ordered
    Just got the OME springs in. Already have the UCAs, differential drop kit and spacers. Ready to put the lift on. Just waiting for the Kings 2.5s. Probably be waiting a while.

    Dobinsons 2.5" lift. Cooper AT3 XLT 295/70R17.
    So I didn't take measurements before I installed the lift, but here are the measurements after. I was targeting 2.5" lift front and rear. (Keeping factory rake)

    Measurements are from hub center to bottom of fender, near full tank of gas.

    Front Left: 22.25"
    Front Right: 22.50"
    Rear Left: 24.75"
    Rear Right: 25.00"

    Do these numbers look right?

    Yes, they seem just about right. Maybe a little less than 2.5" lift in the front though.

    I did a 2.5" front lift and 1"rear lift.

    Here's my numbers for reference:

    DF 22.875 PF 23.125
    DR 22.875 PR 23.1875

    A part of me wonders if maybe I got more lift from the back than expected. I definitely seem to have slightly more rake than before. What's weird is it seems like my steps are level though. I measured ground clearance of the steps for front and back, I got 19" for both.

    This picture is before the lift. In this picture, while the rear wheel well looks like I have the factory rake, the rocker panel almost looks lower in the rear compared to the front.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.

    I see a dark green 40 series sharing the driveway in that top photo... very cool.

    Btw, which brush guard is that?

    Black Horse. Easy to install (except I couldn't get the bolts on the frame loose and needed help). Liked it so much I bought one for the wife's RAV4 (she has a habit of bumping poles)

    Unfortunately, I can't drive the FJ due to health issues, so I'm selling it.

    Ah okay, thanks for the information. I like how it seems to have an upper and lower bull bar, plus the ability to mount lights.

    Sorry to hear that. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I could afford it. I'm sure you'll sell it quick and for a good price, and the next owner will probably love it as much as you probably have. Take care man.

    Changed my air filter and cabin air filter. Things I learned.

    Just buy OEM parts.
    First bought a Bosch HEPA filter. It reduced the air coming from the vents by at least 40%. Also made the ac louder.
    Then bought a K&N cabin filter and read about the off gassing so I will be returning that as well.
    Bought an AEM air filter. Made the engine noise louder. Returning tomorrow
    Drove to dealership and bought both the OEM cabin and engine air filters for $47. One thing about the engine air filter is that it’s about half the thickness of my original one. It also doesn’t have the extra foam material on the bottom. Parts guy couldn’t tell me why. I installed it and it fits so I guess it’s fine.

    It's fine.

    I noticed the same thing last year when replacing my old filter.

    Been running the new one since.

    It says it is set up for light bars. You have to add some mounts for the Hellas. I used some circular clamps from Amazon (3") and put some weatherstripping behind it. Didn't tighten QUITE enuff, so I drilled a self-tapping screw in. It is easy to drill. If you have a splash guard (mine didn't) it needs to be cut. The RAV4 did but I just left the splash guard off.

    How challenging is replacing the cabin filter on these machines? (I've got a new-to-me 2018 OR Premium.)

    what is your method? Spray it down, or little by little?
