    Suspension and UCA Installation (Dobinson’s/SPC in my case, but the lessons likely apply to others.)

    Thanks Widow61 for the update and the appreciated but undeserved thanks! I posted the thread originally to help others from going down some of the sketchy paths I plowed through, hopefully it met that goal. The MRRs were relatively new back then and there were not many reviews yet so I went...

    Ceramic Pro Coating...any good?

    I use Carpro C-Quartz and Gliss topcoat on my LC and two other cars, but I do the work myself. Works out to roughly $150-200, plus my labor. The first time I did it I was torn about paying someone “to do it right” or just biting the bullet and getting it done. Having done it every year for...

    4,441 miles, 20.1 mpg, 13 states, no fast food.

    I dream of 20mph, best I have done is just over 18. Since I just put a TJM bumper on last weekend, I expect I may not see 18 again. Congratulations on what sounds like a great trip!

    I was thinking the same thing.

    Kayak Mount Options

    These are what I have been using too and they would be fine if I didn’t also have a Yakima Showboat roller on the back. They are just a bit too low and the kayak puts pressure on the Showboat roller. Bought a Thule Dock Grip cradle system to replace them, but have yet to put it on since I live...

    Tire Pressure for Rock Warriors with LT285/70/17, Load range Es?

    This is an outstanding explanation of several issues I have wondered about for years…but not enough to spend the time researching it all. Thank you very much!

    Rear lower control arm skids - who makes them?

    Eagerly still waiting for mine. LOL.

    200-series Pay It Forward Christmas Edition

    This is a great idea! Perhaps not many takers given where I live, (and what I have on hand), but I have a bunch of stock LC200 parts that have been replaced with aftermarket parts starting almost from when I drove it off the dealer lot. Available items include stock flimsy running boards, weak...

    Ordered. Thank you for all you do for the LC community!

    Rear lower control arm skids - who makes them?

    I am in for a set as well.

    Mud-friendly source for bull bar? And other bumper questions...

    Filip, do you ship those and is it a no cut bumper?

    Suspension and UCA Installation (Dobinson’s/SPC in my case, but the lessons likely apply to others.)

    Thanks! Besides all your other good additions, great catch on having the struts prebuilt! While I have the normal spring compressors, I had the struts prebuilt when I ordered the kit since not only did they have a deal on it, but I figured I was already dealing with enough risk with the...

    Suspension and UCA Installation (Dobinson’s/SPC in my case, but the lessons likely apply to others.)

    This is where that picture with the crazy stack of boards and the jack came into play. Would be much easier with my spiffy new floor jack that replaced the one that broke during this install, but the key we found with all the KDSS system parts (front and back) was to use the jack on the opposite...

    Rear lower control arm skids - who makes them?

    Sign me up too! I just put on BB skids and shock armor and was looking to pull the trigger on the TT lower control arm skids next. Finding out in this thread that they weren’t making them anymore was a huge let down in my plans.

    Kayak Mount Options

    I use a Yakima Showboat to help get it up on top of the factory rails. I have foam kayak cradles but they are not built for more than one kayak. To be honest, I am looking for a different cradle system, perhaps Yakima Sweetroll or Deckhand set up if I can find them. The foam cradle I have now...

    Dash Card Holder??

    I use the one in the dash for my Dunkin Donuts card. It’s usefulness is pretty high for me since I live in Rhode Island where there is Dunkin on almost every other block. (For those who might not know, the corporate HQ is here, we have almost as many Dunkin‘s as we have people.)

    TJM T13 and BudBuilt front skid interface

    I am just envious of the TJM 13. Hate it when you know what you want but can't find one in stock anywhere. Although, since I have had the BB skid plates sitting in the basement waiting for me to put them on since about February, the delay might be in my favor since I have to lay low a bit...

    Toyota warranty and repair work at Lexus dealers...

    I used the local Lexus dealer for my Tundra for years since all the mechanics are trained on both Lexus and Toyota products...and I have more confidence in the Lexus mechanics than those of any of the local Toyota dealerships. (I watched a Toyota tech peel out in my Tundra at one of the...

    Dogs of MUD!

    It is fascinating to see the Rhodesian looking at the water like that. We have had two Rhodesians and they both steered clear of getting wet, and certainly never looked at a body of water with interest. (The one we have now will refuse to get off the porch when it is raining, and just stands...

    Stuck bolt on front lca

    Yikes! Good thing skin is your biggest body part, plenty there to donate to the effort! 😂. As for getting a reciprocating saw, I am jealous that you have come up with a reason to go buy one. I have been trying to justify one for about 20 years and keep finding work arounds that head it off...
