    I've admired that one at the Hub many many times. That parking lot in general is a cruiser rich environment.

    TEQ Custom Retrofit Headlights - Anyone Tried

    No experience with these lights, but as a guy local to the shop, they are held in high regard by the NC Cruiser contingent as far as being good guys/gals, doing good work, etc. They do a pretty full spectrum of work from basic maintenance to all the usual mods and I hear good things. The lights...

    RDU body shop recommendations?

    Anyone have a good shop around RDU they can recommend? Nothing major, just replacing vs repairing cracked front bumper cover and fog light bezzel on my WRX where someone clipped me as I sat at an intersection. I've used Caliber in Durham in the past and was underwhelmed. Thanks!

    Sparkplug debacle

    If you can check for codes with OBD2 reader, it will tell you which cylinder is the problem. Agree that coil pack was my first thought (have had the same problem).

    That was me dropping off the wife to pick up her 4Runner. Saw another nice 100 LC (white with gray trim) and a 200 there as well but failed to photograph.

    Very wet passenger footwell - sunroof / roof rack bolt? - cant replicate with dye

    Any chance of rust around your windshield/windscreen related to a prior improper install? This was the culprit for me (unfortunately).

    Several cool trucks in the 828 this weekend. Saw this favorite color 80 in the Rice Pinacle lot at Bent Creek on Saturday. My hundy in the foreground. Then saw this sweet 200 near The Hub. Finally saw this RHD 80 at the bottom of Clawhammer in the PNF. This thing was gorgeous. Didn’t...

    Broke front recovery point bolt - welded side

    You may also be able to wedge something between the nut on the inside and the inner wall of the frame to keep the nut from spinning as you back out the bolt. Also, I'm fairly certain that the Ironman bumpers actually come with a nut plate with a wire to located it.

    Ironman awning on factory 98 LX crossbars?

    Check the OEM awning mount system from gamiviti. They've improved on the original version which I had and the new ones are even better. https://www.gamiviti.com/awning-brackets

    New and proud 1984 FJ60 owner! Favorite Raleigh area mechanics?

    Jay over at Renaissance Auto in Cary is also great. Not an LC specialist per se, but has worked on a bunch of our trucks and I've seen more than one 60 series at this shop when mine has been there.
