following the Metaltech 4x4 video on my GX, i found it easier to place the cage nuts on prior to installation of the plates, as well as mounting the crossbracket. It seems like we will need to remove the plate for oil changes unfortunately.
Thanks for the video, ordered the same ARB skid assembly last week. Q for you: With 345k+, how tough were some of the OEM screws & bolts to remove? I’m going to PB Blaster my 2012 FJ for 2-3 sessions before beginning…Thanks.
@bpm982 A couple of the screws broke in their holes. The rest came out with PB. Plan on having an extraction kit, and for me, I had to use a riv nut in one of the holes.
Great view!
It was absolutely gorgeous up in the mountains above the Salt Lake Valley today!

*Truly appreciate you mentioning the total weight.

@@bpm982 Absolutely!
How much of a pain to do oil changes?
@dingdongdaddy589 I think it will be challenging because the oil drain hole might be a bit offset. I will look under it and let you know.
@ - Thank you very much!!
@dingdongdaddy589 It was my pleasure.
