<p>Yeah both were increased in length. Not really sure if they’re weaker now. Haven’t heard of anyone complaining about that. I don’t think you have to worry much about over articulating. I talked to camburg and the guy there said that the limit straps were more for the Coilovers than anything else </p>

<p>I never planned on getting a snorkel until after I got the fenders. The air intake is so exposed under there I was already seeing traces of water draining the airbox. It’s not a perfect fit but it’s the only snorkel I found that would work with them. There is a lot of dirt that get caught up under there. I just have to remember to rinse under there it’s not to bad though</p>

<p>What I did today today was have Les Schwab rotate my tires in a 5 tire clockwise pattern. Nice that it is free every 5K. I am sure I pay for it upfront with my tire purchase but it makes the rotations easier :) And I dont have to do it myself.</p>

<p>Did you have to increase length of axle shafts and tie-rod ends? Seems like this kind of change can weaken these parts when articulated hard off-road. How is it?</p>

<p>Looking good. I saw a lot of rear facing snorkels in Japan and Russia last summer, I figured it was because of lots of inclement weather, yours looks cool. Thats an interesting look sans fender flares but looks like a lot of work to keep clean.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I got to give a shout-out here to the Oil Drain Valve guys at <a href="http://oildrainvalve.net"><span>oildrainvalve.net</span></a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> in Washington. I found a link in a forum to their products and ordered what I thought was the one for my 2012 FJ. It was too large, I checked it against my gaskets for the drain plug. After I emailed them back they were nice enough to send me the correct one , EZ-103, and a return postage paid envelope for me…</p>
<p>Hey guys, I got to give a shout-out here to the Oil Drain Valve guys at <a href="http://oildrainvalve.net"><span>oildrainvalve.net</span></a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> in Washington. I found a link in a forum to their products and ordered what I thought was the one for my 2012 FJ. It was too large, I checked it against my gaskets for the drain plug. After I emailed them back they were nice enough to send me the correct one , EZ-103, and a return postage paid envelope for me to return the wrong one. Nice. This ball valve is really high quality stainless steel and the handle has a detent it sets in so it cannot be inadvertently opened. I also ordered the $4 screw-in hose end piece that hooks up to a short length of clear 3/8 dia. hose. Pics here from todays oil change and valve install.
