Lol I've had to go get stuck my stuck field crews more than a few times. I've gotten to where I just don't drive my truck off road anymore at work if it's any significant acreage that isn't easily walkable I just bring the SxS use that.
These two guys probably should have brought a SxS considering the area they needed to cover.

After dinner tonight went out and tore more into the 4runner. 3 hours and the IFS was out, now the hours of cleaning the brackets off the frame
I torched off all the brackets with the plasma and there was a small piece of metal that I didn't know was holding up the whole damn assembly, that was fun luckily I didn't lose any toes

Sweet. Are you going to reinforce the power steering box area on both sides of the frame?
Tonight I put 2nd gen Taco sway bar links on my '01 4Runner. The quick detach end links did not fit together right and kept popping during turns. I wanted to swap them out before they broke while I was away from home.

Yes the plan is to plate the frame and add steering box reinforcement for the IFS box mount

I'll let you know if I decide to do it myself. They have a video on YouTube that shows how to do a wet installation. May attempt it one day next week if I get bored. But not sure.
I like that location. Mine has done well there for over a year now.

Yeah I'm thinking of spraying the top "base" with rubberized coating to prevent it from being conductive...just in case a wire ever comes loose and touches the bracket.
I put a rubber washer between the bracket and body. Mainly the washer was to help reduce vibration/ fatigue on the bracket.
Find a piece of hard plastic lying around and cut it to size? Use that as the top cover too? Just an idea as well

I may go with this and then just run the (-) ground to the battery instead of to the bolt

I can give you tips/tricks to the trade - let me know. That specific sticker will be much harder than a normal sticker where everything is interconnected, but can still be done easily by a pro (not so easy for non-pro).
On another note - how horrible of a person am I if I stick a similar sticker to the wrong side of my Kayak? Basically would you be offended to see a flag going the wrong way? It's on my pass side of the yak with stars in rear. I didn't realize I was a moron until after I stuck it on.
