ROTW-CC93CRUISER (DAD's Cruiser)
Hello all. I guess it is my turn once again for the ROTW, but don't worry, this is not the same cruiser you seen before, but my dad's. I know it is Tuesday already, but just bare with me. I am going to start my write up and post tons of pics tonight. This cruiser has been owned by 3 other cruiserheads all contributing to how the cruiser looks today ( Drexx, Amando & Mike Thompson-all really die hard cruiserheads! I know they were all happy to see this wonderful machine go to someone that loves cruisers too.) . Oh yeah, one more minor detail  is that the cruiser was one of the first 80 series cruisers built by Christo Slee and his staff (did I say it was a minor detail ). This cruiser has tons of goodies and I know I will be busy posting must of the mods.. Here are the most impaortant mods:
1997 Toyota Land Cruiser
Factory Locking Diffs
4:56's gears
315/75/R16 Goodyear MTR's
Kaymer rear bumper w/Swing out Tire Carrier
ARB Roof Rack

M10000 WARN Winch
TRD Supercharger
Dual Batteries Red & Yellow Top Optimas
Ron Davis Aluminum Radiator
Hella lights
Slee/Outback Suspension (control arms) on OME J's with 1.5 Slee Spacers FR & RR
Double Cardon Front Drive Shaft
In Dash Winch Controls
Aux. Fuel Tank
CDL w/pin 7 Mod

AFAIK- a supercharger keeps the close to the same power curve as stock, just with more power.

nice job Robert, your dad's ride is Sick!! I've been wheeling with this rig for the past four years. First when Drexx owned it, then Mondo and now your Dad, it handles everything that is thrown at it. Tell your dad to hurry up and get the Slee 6" springs then the truck will truly be unstoppable

They actually don't stick out as much to allow your foot to go in, but they do make for good protection..

Could you post a source for those battery connectors on the Aux battery and do you know if there are covers available for them?

Is that winch icon in a stock US guage cluster, or did you custom make that or get a cluster from another country? Nice rig and gotta love all the buttons that fill the blank spots in the dash

Here are pics of the GPS mounted on right above the rear view mirror. There is also a pic of the GPS antenna mounted on top of the snorkel, pretty trick ....
Here is also a pic of the Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge, now all he needs is a boost guage (they would all look nice in the a pillar):

Those battery connectors are great. They've been put on my 'to buy" list.
Also, a technical question. For the lights that are mounted on the roof rack, how do you bring them into the engine bay? how are the wires routed? I am interested in putting my Warn Spot lights on my roof rack as well, but I am unsure as to how I might go about routing them.
Again, great rig and thanks for the great pics.
Nice.

Beno, the wirirng of the lights were routed behind the roof rack, then behind the roof rack mount.....then thru the gutter railing done to the engine bay. Here is a pic of the wiring location (got carried away with the microsoft paint ):

I am pretty sure they are stock OEM land cruiser switch with land cruiser originally equipped with fog lamps, although I have never seen a cruiser in the US with stock fog lamps, just international cruisers  ...
