any interest?

I don’t like orange wires under the hood. (And 1.87 kwh is basically a big jackery.) Is the iForce good for 300k? Liftgate :doh:

Curious what the Engine Forge charged - none are listed on their website. Hope the install went well! Kevin.

Trixx - is this green mica? Looks sharp, thinking of repainting my 98. Getting some Black Rhino’s installed and looks like the icon cap might fit . . . Will get measurements to Ben

My 1998 was pretty precise with the codes - however my 2004 indicated 3 bad coils when it was only one. (Replace or swap out one at a time.)

Complete with $80,000 markup and snow plow grill.

I would not worry about the ‘skinniness’ of the tire - the load rating of 2756 is the same for the defender in a 275/65/18 and more than the 60 profile (non LT tires). I have been running the Defender LTX M/s LT265/70/18 for about 100k on my 100 . 2 tires swapped due to road hazard by 80k...

My perspective is the Sequoia is the Land Cruiser USA does not get. The platform is the same (TGNF) but sequoia is stretched (122 WB vs 112). Better platform for overlanding. Capstone is the mall-crawling edition, save money and build it out as needed. Not happy about the hybrid-only (no...

Just had one LC100 (‘04) replaced with LSEAT - installer said seats took some tinkering and cuss words to get right, especially the armrests. I will order Ridies for my other 100 after his issues. Bisque is a good match, but would skip LSEAT except for budget builds. $250 installed (I did...

Just got a quote - brought the Lseat covers to the shop and $400-450 with headrests/armrests (front seats). Old guy with some nice restorations in shop, will update. Not sure which way to go on my other LC - might do Ridies.

In DAYLIGHT (no lights) you can go about 200 miles (daytime running lights disconnected). Of course this depends on condition/quality of battery. I had an alternator failure 450 miles from home. I bought 3 batteries from Home Depot (and a charger). Since it was late, I just stayed at a motel...

If it just keeps cranking but doesn’t start, check/replace your EFI fuse. Not sure if the 2004 have the fusebox/immobilizer problem (different fuse box) but you can take a look at the ‘my immobilizer fix’ thread. Also need to verify fuel pump is working (first check fuse, then check for fuel...

Why install a non-diff lock? You will need a 98-02 diff (4:30) would replace with locking unit. I replaced my front diff (ran out of oil due to slow leaking seal) with a used unit, works great. Cost less then rebuilding. Rear locker significant value - although rarely used, I’m sure it...

Potato Chips with Ridges might be good, but this? Not so much. Took the 04 out for a 200 mile spin, brakes started to ‘shimmy’. Ordered a ‘bunch of parts’ then pulled off wheel, and outer pad (brake job appears recent) but could not remove inner pad. Unbolted caliper and the inner pad told...
