Too many questions?

eurorom · 08-22-07, 07:34 AM

I am looking into the Warner m8000 winch vs the Mile Marker p8000

I will more likely not use the winch very much, however I need it when I get into trouble in very remote areas, an insurance if you must!

Any recomendations between the two!

eurorom · 08-24-07, 10:02 PM

I will post some pictures on Sunday morning since I have been very busy at work, also I had a big problem with my bodyshop, they were suppose to paint my ARB Bumper and they did not, they are claiming they will have it ready by next Thursday ( it was supposed to be ready last week ) so I pick-up the bumper and will try to install it on Saturday morning!
I will use the vehicle this weekend with th black bumper and let's see if i like it or else i will send it to a different bodyshop to have it painted!:(

Here is another one dark!

Thanks, and i am sorry I did not get to talk to you on the phone I have been very busy at work

I will call you next week and I hope we can plan for next weekend if you are available!

Well the snorkel is on, and there is no way back; I like the look, however it make alot of people turn their heads ( too much attention ) I feel like I gain some extra horse power, however i am not in possition to measure if this is a real gain in horse power.

Here are some pictures of the snorkel!

eurorom · 08-30-07, 08:19 PM

I finaly had a chance to install the ARB Bumper, now I am trying to have it painted to match the silver color in my Lexus, i will post pictures as soon as possible!

Do you think that if you paint the snorkel to match the color of the cruiser then the attention might decrease?

eurorom · 08-31-07, 07:31 AM

Not sure, however i am worried that somebody may drop or spill something in the snorkel ( Vandalism )

Soooooooooooo I will look into a filter ontop?

Time will tell ,

too late to go back!

eurorom · 09-02-07, 09:55 AM

Here arsome pictures of my ARB Bumper!

The color looks different because of the sun, however we have the correct color number!

thestallionq8 · 09-02-07, 02:15 PM

Amazing update pics!

I have a friend who has a 100 series lexus and wasn't thinking about doing anything to it but now I'll be showing him a few pics from here and amongst those pics I'm going to show him yours cause he didn't think anyone would do such a thing!

Why?

was this in relation to the thread in chat?

eurorom · 09-02-07, 06:10 PM

Here are some piures of my lights with the Venezuelan look, I am unsure of the look and I am planning on installing some Hella Fog Amber lights on the bottom, Unsure at this point!

Also I like the look of the bumper, it seems like the top hoops are the only addition to the bumper!

Just an illussion!

Nothing relating to threads on here! I was in a TA while driving my Range Rover!

eurorom · 09-04-07, 02:41 PM

I am considering the Warn name Brand as the winch to get!

I am also looking into getting the Hanna Rear Bumper just because of the 3 gas can holder,( I which Slee would make a rear bumper with this feature ) it seems easier to handle the Nato Cans, plus i will be getting a better departure angle? Since I will move the spare to the back and I could remove my towing hitch!( my protection for my rear bumper )

Need to travel now!

I will install this week an Odyssey Battery just to make sure I have enough juice for the winch!

Hankook Dynapro MT 295/75-16" as a spare, and it seems like these tires are going to be my next set of tires, however i am considering 35"s.

eurorom · 01-10-09, 12:42 AM

I also ordered the Meta Tech 1.5" spacers and will post pictures soon!

I wonder if I need to get longer brake lines for the front after I install the Spacers!

eurorom · 08-22-09, 06:41 PM

Update, I have install the 1.5 Metal Tech spacers and no need for brake extensions, I have also added the Hankook Dynapro MT 295/75/16" tires 5 of them. So far I like the tires performance on the road and off-reoad!

I will post a picture soon.

I am now contempleting re-gearing to 4.88" to get better performance on the hwy at high altitudes like Colorado 8000 ft to 13000 ft Summits?

eurorom · 08-22-09, 08:54 PM

Well the sticker is put on off-road trim pakages in Toyota and since I did an up-grade to the suspension ( Old Man Emu ) I feel it is ready for AllTerrain conditions, plus it is more International.

It actually reads Lexus LX-450 AllTerrain!
