Old posts do live forever! I finally got around to doing most of the LX450 phone delete, as discussed in this thread. For anyone who still wants—or needs—to do the LX450 phone delete: Removing the 15A “Tel” fuse is not optional. If you leave it in and have wired a new head unit into the...

Installed the OVS Nomadic 270° Awning on a BowFin Rack — easy peasy with the help of my brother. Also installed a backup camera on my Avid bumper and connected it to the head unit. Finally got around to doing most of the LX450 phone delete. Way back when I replaced the stereo head unit and...

great article thanks for sharing. It’s always nice to get a little affirmation that our hobby isn’t a complete money pit. Just out of curiosity—the article mentioned "#2" and "#3" condition vehicles. Some of us may own 80s in similar shape, but how many are truly stock? And how much does...

not to hi-jack the thread, but - is that the factory paint on that LX? If so, how do you keep it looking so great? Wow it looks good!

I ordered front and rear bumpers from Avid back in May of 2022 and did not receive them until April of 2024. Around Sept of 2024 I had a follow up question for Brandon and he responded a couple of days after my initial email. On other occasions sometimes it could be a few weeks to a month...

I installed my long-long-long awaited Avid Front bumper. Hopefully, I'll have time this weekend to install the Avid Rear bumper.

today i had time to mess with the cruizer and got the front bumper installed - hella worth the wait! Great build quality and nearly perfect fit- slid right into where factory bumper was mounted. took maybe an 90 minutes from removing the factory one and installing the Avid bumper. For all you...

Updating this post for all- sorry for not being more active in updating the post. Anyway... I received my complete order from Avid just this morning- 2 years later but better late than never I suppose. I had been in contact with Brandon for about a month now as the shipment was getting closer...

Almost 2 years and still nothing! Feels like I got scammed. Last i heard from 'Brandon' on April 26 2023 was: Hey Marco I apologize for the delayed reply. We have a couple that we are finishing up and then we’ll get yours done. Here we are last day of Jan 2024 and nothing from them. I've...

Sorry, got side tracked and forgot to post an update. I send Brandon from Avid an email back mid April- He responded at the end of April apologizing for the delay and said that they were finishing a couple other ones and that the front and rear that I had ordered was coming up next. Not having...

Thank to you all for the responses. No comms in nearly 6 months from Avid made me wonder if they were still in business and me out a deposit on front and rear bumpers. I'll continue to try to get hold of them and also be patient. thanks again

Greetings all, Anyone have an success recently in getting a hold of Brandon from Avid? I put in a deposit on front and rear bumpers about a year ago now and have had no luck contacting him lately. I do realize that it's a long lead time, but wanted to just check in. Cheers

All the K02 tires on my cruiser have the same DOT stamp as In the pict.

Hmmm- Double top secret 🤐, or care to share 🤔 ? Thanks
