[Hugh Calgary]

Took my 98 LC out to McLean Creek.
McLean Creek Off Highway Vehicle | AEP - Environment and Parks
Added some pin stripes and had a great buffet lunch.

Mfr? Toyota?

I normally go with Toyota for the brakes but this rig is getting old and I wanted to get this done so I just grabbed the best stuff my local AutoZone had and slapped it on...

Got a shot of what the light output looks like? have been considering a BiXenon retrofit but maybe that would be a better route

No I do not, however the options are plentiful. My JW Speakers are very good, better than my depo’s in my opinion.

Tested out the new tent this weekend. Loved every minute of it. Fast setup and tear down!

What tent is this please?

View attachment 1786301 Went to Lake San Antonio (California) to look at the stars. The awning helped me nap during the day after being up until 3 am. (picture of Andromeda was taken early Sunday morning). I like how the LC swallows up all my camping stuff as well as two bulky telescopes.View attachment 1786302

New Loncky DIY genuine leather steering wheel wrap. Very pleased

Metal Tech Sliders went in today. They line up perfectly with the BFG KO2s on SCS F5 wheels.
Big thanks to John at @MT4x4 for expediting new nuts and for installation tips.

That's a good look. Let's see a side shot.

John Love and everyone from @MT4x4 are good people

A decent bi-xenon retrofit will outperform current LED headlight offerings. LED headlights are picking up popularity and reputable companies are making LED specific bulbs with a proper cutoff line so they don't blind oncoming drivers and drop into existing housings as well as LED projectors but the tech isn't quite there yet for them to outperform a decent Bi-Xenon kit. I did the Acura TSX projector retrofit into my truck which are just low beams and they are quite nice. Excellent range, intensity and width. I will be doing a bi-xenon retrofit in the future though. Most likely a 3" projector like the Mini D2S 4.0.

Thanks for the input. I will probably do the retrofit soon. My concern has been around what happens if I ever have a bulb go out... I won't be able to hop down to autozone and buy a new one. How often do the morimoto style projectors go out? From what I read, they are fairly reliable but I haven't seen any mud discussion on the retrofit threads (i may have just missed it when i was browsing)

I'm pretty sure you mounted your calipers on the wrong side... the bleeder screw should be above the brake line and that says "R" when it should say "L"

I slapped on rotors, pads and calipers on the rear of my LX today...View attachment 1785435

That one way to get fluid bled from bottom of calipers @kreiten ..LOL. How's it working out!

Nice catch @LXFAM

Hah, I caught it before I slapped the wheels on and swapped them When I went to bleed the brakes I was like something is def wrong

Haha just casually scrolled the thread and knew something was off about that photo . Glad its corrected!

Gave her a long overdue bath

Full Trekboxx system.

This thing is rock solid and smooth and I am very happy so far. There is a lot of thought that clearly went into the design for fit and function. I can't wait to load it up and get it put to use.

 

[J1000]

Installed an AEM air/fuel gauge and had a local shop weld in the bung to the driver's side header. Wired it to the nav fuse and poked a hole through the boot. I used the night vision blanking panel to mount the gauge. All in all it was stupid easy.

Now for the part everyone wants to know, it runs in the low 11:1s at WOT! Damn that's rich!

I made some more progress on my never ending battery management system project...

Today I was able to get my ACR bracket finished and test fitted. I have everything re-wired to my circuit breaker now, so the only things left to do are paint the ACR bracket, get some proper hardware and install it; then wire the ACR up between the two batteries. Hoping to have that finished in the next day or two so I can get out and use the compressor on Saturday!
