The ones I bought I got off ebay for approx. half the price what CCOT sells them for. I don't know how much they are at a Toyota dealer, I guess I never even thought to check . I figure half of what CCOT sells them for can't be to bad of a deal? I live in God's country in Northern, MN. Closest Toy dealer to me is a good 2 hour drive so I would buy them on line somewhere.

If I ever see a set like Pimps come up for sale, I will be sure to try to snap them up. I can't imagine the one's I bought will look to bad on the lv?

I'm confused now??

I like pimps pic and the white lettering is out?

Why would you put the black out now pimp?

I say black out. All of the factory literature shows black out as well. I bet Pimp's ride came with the white out and it really isn't that big of a deal. He would probably switch it but not worth the hassel for now.

 

[Landpimp]

it came that way, I am too cheap to swap em around. all my other cruisers are black out.

new caps are $50 for the set at the dealer, if you were close to that you did fine.

I have prolly another 1/2 dozen of the early correct caps....in good to OK shape.....just for a rainy day.

and of course the wheels on a 45LV should be black.....but gray looks better IMOP.

Anyone got a better pic of the TLC resto w/ the vortec - I think it's exactly what Matt is looking for ...

Here's the best I can do from here -

Black out, for sure.

I need to turn one of my solid (rear) oldstyle hub caps into a front style to replace this. What is the best way to cut out the center circle? Nibbler? Jigsaw? Torch?

 

[Ground Up]

Dave-

You want to find a sheet metal shop that has a circle cutter. Alot of HVAC shops have them for making caps, dampers, etc.

May also take it the hubcap shown to a musical instrument repair shop and have them straighten it.

 

[Ground Up]

These are the best I got, totally forgot about it.

I know its not a 45lv, but this is my 67 lwb on 33" x 9.50 with stock height suspension. I was considering a lift before the tires, but think I might leave it for now.

Hey Brett is the blue roof true to that erra of truck?

Rob

 

[cruiserbrett]

yep. according to those with WAY more ad literature from the era than I have, the roofs on the 63-67 FJ45's we got in the states were body colored.

Here's my LV before I changed the rear springs. 33x9.5 AT's fit under just fine. Definately black out. The rear springs I bought were thought to be almost new, but are used and wasted. Instead of raising it 2" it dropped it 0.75". Now I'm looking for rear spring options too.

 

[Land Cruiser Junky]

Black out, for sure.

Hole saw. You can pick one up at Home Depot for about $25. It will cut you a perfect hole.
