I have the TT diff drop and a Dissent front bumper. I left everything loose until I had all the bolts in place and even though it was tight, I did not have to elongate any holes.
I installed my new Dissent 'high clearance' front bumper. Easiest bumper install I have ever done. I still need to tweak it to get it 'spot on' from a level perspective, but I am very pleased. The powder coat guy helped me pick the color. My long term plans are to powder coat the sliders and...
I received my bumper last week. I took it to powder coat and was able to get it mounted up today. It turned out real well.
I still need to do some final adjustments to get everything <just> right, but I am super impressed with the build quality and fitment. This was, by far, the...
I will be out there the week of August 9th. Looking forward to watching the Perseids Meteor Shower from the Rockies instead of 300 ft above sea level. :)
Well let's see....I replaced Upper and lower ball joints, Inner and outer Tie rod ends, Both front axles, adjusted the ride height on the front (The PO had it jacked way the hell up), front-end alignment, and added an aluminum skid plate (factory was AWOL)
While I cannot speak to the longevity of the Cardones HD, I CAN say that you will need the puller to get them installed. I had to improvise one as everything I had did the "opposite" ...I ended up with a thick piece of steel, drilled and tapped two 8mm holes on opposite sides of the steel, also...
There is a group buy going on over on the land cruiser/lx470 USA Facebook page if anyone is interested. Up to 20% discount if they reach 20 orders. I THINK they are at a confirmed 15% right now....
It has been going on since the 10th I believe...not sure how much longer it will last so HURRY!!
Hey...I notice that when I first turn on my key, not all of my dash lights seem to light. My VSC Trac and VSC off lamps don't seem to illuminate. I had a fear that the previous owner had taken the lights out to hide an issue so I took the cluster out and there are bulbs there....I assume they...
I ordered the skid plate on the 30th of March. It didn't ship out until a week later on the 6th. Given the state of the world, I can't complain. :)
I have a tracking number for the Israel post...says it has left for the United States. :)
Does anyone know if the type of bumper used matters...
I apologize if this is listed somewhere else. I did a search and could not find this specific problem/solution.
As of this writing, I have a new to me LX 470 that I picked up this weekend. The only issue I have come across so far is that my folding mirrors would fold in, but NOT fold back...
I found this thread because I am wanting a front bumper for my new to me LX 470. I would be interested in a group buy. I am also likely to have already purchased something before something can be arranged.
Well, I am going to keep it this way for a while. I am not planning any major off-roading for a while and they are honestly growing on me. I suspect that I can sell they farly easily if I decide to downgrade to a smaller wheel and 33" tires. (GASP--DOWNGRADE tire SIZE!! Are you insane?!?!) LoL.
I am going to go through all the fluids, go ahead and do the timing belt/water pump. The dealer had some work done to it when he got it. it had been in a fender bender with light front bumper/fender damage so those pieces were replaced...and that explains (at least to me) the color matched...
