    ARB Bumper...fog or no fog?

    I like the look of integrated lights as well. What's the diameter of the ARB light? Maybe someone's round LED could be adapted? Baja Designs Squadron XL-R - http://www.bajadesigns.com/ProductDetail?ItemNumber=530003

    An evolution in 80-Series ownership...

    So the guy who spent the day finishing his Kaymar install sends his pictures to be posted by the guy who is actually still at work... That's a Lexus owner for you. :rolleyes: Seems Matt was able to work around the alignment issues we had by loosening all the bolts and cleaning up the two center...

    Lack of 70 series Land Cruisers.

    On the Tacoma vs Hilux debate... Indeed the grass is always greener. I think it was Containerized that explained it best for me. I cannot quote him directly, but it was something along the lines of the Tacoma being built to carry your family comfortably while towing 2000lbs whereas the Hilux...

    Lol... It is funny that out of all the things everyone wants to know about the cup holders. Matt got the console-mounted Range Rover cupholder on eBay and he said it shipped from Victoria British, though I do not see it on their website. Here's another one on eBay for $41 -...

    Here's random pic I shot of the 6.5" Component speakers in the left rear door... He decided to go the 'high' road for the tweeter mount and so far they don't seem to be too overbearing, though his system has a noticeable level of hiss when there is no music playing. Probably because the amp...

    Of Kaymars & Other Things... Well I can tell you that the Kaymar bumper is a quality piece of metal from the first glance to the last detail. Nothing overtly fancy, just well-engineered without going overboard. All things considered I was surprised it wasn't heavier, but I chalk that up to...

    Tacoma Trans & Driveline Problems

    Apologies for not having any real constructive advice, but I can't be silent here. Unless the bottom of your truck is beat all to hell from dragging over rocks, etc, how do they propose you caused this to happen? I know, I know. They never actually justify their remarks. It just irks me. This...

    First Aid: Lets have a Talk

    I want say a big THANK YOU to LR Max for starting this thread, and to everyone else contributing here. :wavey: I am getting a lot of good info for filling up my red M3-style medic bag with critical supplies. My buddies and I do a lot of shooting and, while we've never had any accidents, we are...

    Ding, ding, ding! You are correct, Sir. Though I guess I made fairly obvious, lol. That thing looks pretty buff with the integrated Class IV hitch. And he's had nothing but good things to say about Ben and the crew from Outback Proven. :safari-rig: As for the stereo, he is planning to put the...

    An evolution in 80-Series ownership...

    With the major running gear sorted for now, we toiled on updating one of the 'creature comforts' to the LX this weekend. The OE speakers were completely shot with more than one having little or no foam surround left. It's taking a bit of work to get the right backspacing to add some 6.5"...

    New Pelican coolers

    Maybe going a little off-topic here... We have a couple of 5-6yr-old 70qt Coleman Xtreme coolers at my place of work and they work pretty darn well, but what I have noticed is that they do have insulation in the lids. None of the Coleman coolers I've seen in the last couple of years (including...

    Derek's 'BST' Build II: FJ Cruiser

    I know, I know. I've only done that once and I almost ran it dry doing it after a day of highway driving. Ended up putting something like 19.1gal in afterwards, lol. I think it worked out to right about 20mpg for the tank when I normally get about 17-18.5mpg in my combined driving. But I do get...

    What happened to Rangebrover's LC200 build?

    How ironic, my buddy with a new (to him) LX450 has been waffling about rear bumpers for the last several weeks. 4x4 Labs, ARB, Bump It Offroad, Kaymar, Slee... Last Friday Ben from Outback Proven was with you guys in VT, but went out of his way to drive around and find a house with open WiFi so...
