    Good independant shop in Los Angeles area

    Roverrad95- people are posting lists of LA businesses in this thread. Would you mind posting the business to which you are referring? (Why PM? I'm sure the guy would appreciate the free advertising if you just posted it here).

    Interest in Having Robbie/PowderPig in the SoCal Area

    Hello Everyone, Time to wrap this up and see what Robbie thinks about coming down to SoCal! Robbie has contacted me and indicated that, if he comes to SoCal, it will be for 2 weeks after Thanksgiving weekend, so let's say approximately 12/1/10 - 12/14/10. The following members have...

    Interest in Having Robbie/PowderPig in the SoCal Area

    Interest in Having Robbie/PowderPig in the SoCal Area

    TheFuzz- Robbie is considered by many on the forums to be one of the best Landcruiser mechanics out there. He can tackle anything from axle regearing to ARB installs to engine rebuilds. Formerly with Slee, he now works for himself. Here's a link to some posts from him in the 100-series section...

    Interest in Having Robbie/PowderPig in the SoCal Area

    I am posting a thread here in the 100-series section to gauge interest in having Robbie (AKA powderpig, legendary Landcruiser mechanic formerly with Slee) down in the SoCal area (LA/OC/Riverside/surrounding counties/San Diego, and anybody who wants to drive in from elsewhere) to work his magic...

    Best tires for my use?

    Online, tirerack.com is pretty hard to beat, although some local chains like Discount Tire and Firestone will often pricematch to tirerack.

    soberman- try to get some junkyard parts if you can find them, or check cruiserparts.net

    I can't stand my 100!!!!!!

    This seems like a key thing to mention, regardless of what the dealer said. My bet is the same or another problem with this system. If your dealer fixed it once, they may be your best bet to get to the bottom of it.

    Why a 100 is good medical insurance...

    And IIRC, this was only done because of prior problems with the gas tank in rear-end collisions.

    Why a 100 is good medical insurance...

    NMuzj100- good point about the limited space between the rear and the 3rd row- hadn't thought about that. Looking at this particular extreme offset, it's tough to tell how much of the Extreme's frame was involved, but (from what little I can tell) it appears the front quarter panel and part of...

    Why a 100 is good medical insurance...

    NMuzj100- if you reread my previous post, you'll see that I am not saying that more mass isn't advantagous in an accident, but rather that less damage isn't necessarily a good thing if the crumple zones are involved, as long as the safety cage maintains its integrity. Greater mass and crumple...

    Why a 100 is good medical insurance...

    MARCVS- glad to hear you are ok. I don't know if I'd be so happy about the relative lack of damage to the LX in this case. A common mindset among Cruiser owners (really truck owners in general) is how tough their vehicle is and so it "wins" in an accident. This isn't always a good thing- if...

    Newbie 80 owner needs 100 advice

    1. TPS 2. AHC (if equipped) 3. Navi with integrated climate control (if equipped) Now you're probably gonna tell me I can only choose certain model year (2002 or under) or types of 100s (no LXs) to take down on such an expedition, or how I can mod a 100 to eliminate these problems (like get...

    Before/After OME Lift (pictures)

    My .02: for those of you looking to add a lift / bigger tires while still wanting to be able to fit in the average parking garage, consider removing your roof rack to regain an additional 2.5" to 3". That's what I did when I installed an OME 850/860 (heavy front/medium rear) combo on my 80 and...
