Take a look at the DIY parts from Lolo Bike Racks. http://www.loloracks.com/store I drew up some sketches for a friend to be able to haul a couple bikes on one of his swing outs. They’re pretty cheap, hold the bikes with the tires pointing away from the vehicle so they could be pretty snug to...

After getting back late in the day on Friday, I drove 100 miles round trip down to my house to get my bike ready for some racing and grabbed my number plate. Then I drove 130 miles to race bikes and camp Saturday night. Sunday afternoon, I fired it up after racing ready to head home and boom...

My friends and I got back from Spring Break yesterday evening, and the cruiser ran great the whole way. 2300 miles and 9.91 mpg and with gas and groceries split 4 ways with friends, it was a $170 trip. Apart from steep hills and windy areas, it mostly did 70-75 or more(if on a downslope). I...

Several weeks ago, my dad and I took a weekend trip out to Arkansas and the cruiser didn’t skip a beat. I had been skeptical it would make it without the random shut off issue, but all was well. Before leaving I did thoroughly clean some grounds bolting to the engine block. Turns out the roof...

Swapped out my gray/green steering wheel for a black one out of an 86 4runner. It came with a black steering column cover that hadn’t been cut up to install a cruise control stalk so I started removing that port installed non working system. Entire black harness going above the top of the...

Hey that’s my cruiser up in the first post. I bolted up a hitch that ran through my cross member and all the way up to the next one where it was then bolted up again. After about 50k miles or so, that fatigued the oem cross member so much I had to cut out what remained of it. 4/6 welds cracked...

Update time: TLDR: I’ve been playing around a lot on Solidworks in my free time. First off, I dug through the disconnected and questionable wiring connections (or lack of) under the driver’s kickpanel and got my done light working. In doing so, a beautiful sounding buzzer has started alerting...

Same here. This is what I’m seeing

We finally got some decent snow the other day. Unfortunately, most of it fell after it was dark, and the next day was nearly 60* by 11am so it was gone before we could get out and have any real fun. I ran 5ft short of metal for some swing out parts I needed to cut and with the metal yard not...

Driver’s seat is mounted and wired. I’m super pleased with how supportive it is and the higher driving position. I went back to the yard yesterday and pulled a 4 way adjustable headrest for the passenger seat since it didn’t have one. I will have to relocate the brackets on the passenger seat so...

Scored some 2015 police interceptor seats yesterday for $60. Also got a couple 1999 RX300 headrests for $12. I was hoping the seats would still fold fordward with these headrests but no luck. At least I have some when time comes to completely redo the interior. I wasn’t really planning to buy...

Did some 4Runnin’ with a friend the other day. It’s oddly kind of fun having something No where near as capable as the cruiser. Roads and small bumps require a totally different mindset... kind of like riding a DH bike down some trails vs an XC bike. Needs more POWERRRR! If only this was...

That looks pretty good. Can’t complain about a 4wd Toyota for basically the price of wheels/tires and suspension. Especially when it’s so close to home. To think about it, my neighbor was probably the equivalent of 4 blocks away

Pretty sweet. I wish those style dashes were carried through more of the Land Cruisers and 4runners here. What did you spray the back floor and inner quarter panels with before putting the sound deadening on?

Right on! What year are you looking at? I’ve come to learn that my 88 has a lot of year specific things which can make things inconvenient. A buddy listed off three common things that I had no idea would be specific just to 88. The plan is to eventually have it nice, but I have been enjoying...

Yesterday morning with food in the oven, my dad and I finally got around to replacing the u joints in my front driveshaft. He used one of these NAPA (SKF) u joints awhile back on his 40th anniversary and I had to get them. They make greasing the drivelines so much easier by not requiring special...

Guess I’ll add checking that connection to my list. Overall though it feels pretty strong, but still has a slight miss and if that would fix that and improve fuel mileage I’d be happy. Yeah I don’t think a Tuffy would fit. My dad has one in one of his 40s, and if I remember correctly, it’s...

Yeah all great points. After this trip I definitely learned that, but I’m still looking for an SR5 gauge cluster as I would really like to have a tachometer. I certainly don’t think having the canback helps nor does the drag from the northshore and bikes, but the night down there doing around 65...

Yeah I’ve thought about doing that but ultimately decided it’s not the look that I want long term and I’m going to build something instead once I finish this semester and get a batch of my 80 series swing outs done and shipped out. I can’t remember where I saw these pics at, but this is the...
