@rockstate45 Wow, your Lexus looks fantastic. I wish my truck were that clean.

Thanks man! I needed that after the day I've been having haha.

I was surprised how well she cleaned up. I bet yours would look like that too with a good clay and wax! Did you end up getting the bumper put on?
 
I guess it is about time to post up what I have done since I got the dash all put back together in Lexi and I now have all the convenience accessories such as radio, clock, heat and AC! :cheers:

Flushed the coolant, installed new radiator and thermostat while I was taking care of PHH!

Installed permanent antenna mounts for Ham and CB.

Added a few rock lights.

Also finally hooked up my 7" round IPF lights that have been hanging on my ARB front bumper for years only to discover that one of them was burned out so I replaced them with a pair of 36W 60 degree LED and 36W 30 degree LED lights. ( I have one 7" round light available for anyone who needs it)

The following are a few pictures I took while stopped on a road with no street lights for comparison purposes.

Here is a shot of just Low Beams

Here is a shot of adding the 30 degree LED to Low Beams

Here is a shot with Low Beams, 30 degree and 60 degree all on.

@Robkc I'd be interested in the IPF lights. Did you throw away the burned out one already ?

Still have both and they are a bit rusty. I'm not sure when a PO had hung them on there. Yours next time you are in Lenexa/KC area.
 
The floods have an unbelievable lighted area. I have a 50 foot tall tree that was light from bottom to top when he was 50 foot away.

Awesome, let me know what you want for them. I am going to plan a trip up that way in the next week or two. @2fpower has a bracket for me that I've been meaning to pick up for several months.
 
I can definitely get that to Rob, plus some cash for the can of spray paint you got for me.

The paint is on the house. I will try and get with you guys soon and set up a time to meet. Think I'm gonna take the misses to Jack Stacks on the plaza here in a week or so, so I will be in somebody's neighborhood.

If you go to Jack Stack's on Metcalf you'll be much closer to those guys' neighborhoods... :D ...wives do love the plaza though...

Yes, the wife already informed me she would like a chocolate bag from McCormick and Shmicks for desert ! Plus I get to walk off dinner afterwards.

Pulled them off the shelf and they are FET Landmaster 190 with clear lenses and the plastic mesh covers. I think they are H3 Halogen as there are only 2 wires coming out of the housing. How about a bottle of Maker's Mark as trade for them?

Depending on when you come I might need to leave everything across the street with 2fpower as I have some trips planned. I will PM you my cell#.

A bottle of makers sounds fair, good choice btw. If its cool with @2fpower you can leave the lights over there, I will probably be up that way next week sometime. Do you think a bottle of MM would be safe with him ?
 
I probably need to restock his cabinet anyway. :cheers:
 
Rob and I played in garage yesterday, and BOOST IS ALIVE!!

I shot a video of the first running, but not smart enough to post it.

Still need to get the A/C plumbed and brazed, but starting to sound like a real car.
 
Also made sturgis into a Lowrider
