    Taco Owner - LC Curious

    I'm on Galveston Island, similar terrain (a few sets of railroad tracks are the thrill of my daily commute). Do it, stop thinking about it and just start searching. My 80 is my daily, BUT, I put a 3" lift on it and I pick my Momma up every Monday morning for a day of playing Mah Jong at...

    How do I fix fender flare rubber/ molding

    That does look great.....it's left black? I cant tell if its green or black. My LC is white, or whatever the official name for the white was. I'm struggling finding something halfway decent, had to replace a fender and the body shop guy painted some black rubber and it looks like crap...

    Wanted White fender flare gaskets

    Dont paint them!! I'm looking for white to replace mine that are chipping paint and look like crap. Paint lasted like maybe 8 months. I dont know what homedude painted them with, had to replace my fender (smashed into a 600lb hog at 5am) and he "painted the trim to match the paint". Ugh.

    Personalizing the whip / goodbye Caddilac

    The socket was basically just worn, the contacts in the socket were not touching good enough. I ordered a $6 socket off Amazon, and it came with 2 in the package! The original socket the wires come out the back of the socket, on this replacement the ground wire comes out of the back, and the...

    front seat gear swap (Broken Seat/Missing Cap Issue, pt. 2)

    **Sidenote** I didn't have any rubber washers.....in either gear box. wonder if this is a problem. I wish more emphasis would have been given in the downloaded instructions not to tighten the nuts on the jack screws too much. I also wish I would have read all of these comments before I...

    front seat gear swap (Broken Seat/Missing Cap Issue, pt. 2)

    Well that was all kinds of fun. Waited patiently for 2 sets to arrive (2 end caps, 2 gears), they came today, took out seat and got to the install. Changed out the gear (my end cap was still in place), put everything back together but I am pretty sure I over-tightend the stupid nuts on the...

    Ordered! thanks! I attempted to move this manually once per instructions on here. I couldn't get past the first step. (removing panel on front of seat) I couldn't find the damn screws to remove it, the front of the seat came wayyyyyy down over it. Now that I know how easy it is to...

    Personalizing the whip / goodbye Caddilac

    Not a fan of SUP'ng the Gulf, I usually just hop off the dock in the backyard and cruise the Bayou. (this is Texas, we don't have very impressive waves or very angry territorial surfers). Loving my 22's...quite the conversation starter, and I'm very much a people person. I am pretty sure I...
