WOW GLWS

What is next?

 

[084runnerltd]

Thanks Phil.

I hate to admit it.....a H1

I don't have the exact one picked out yet, once I do I will lower the asking price of the cruiser.

Please everyone don't hate me...always wanted an H1 and they are getting harder to find.

Thanks, but on the bright side laying in bed with nothing to do motivated me to post the ad.

I am sure there are more upgrades/mods that I will have to add....the items I listed were off the top of my head.

Went back to work today....I will give u a call in a few hours of that works.

I will post more pics tomorrow....it's already getting dark here.

 

[084runnerltd]

Posting some "dirty" pictures as I stated I would....will try to get it cleaned up and better pics over the weekend.

Price is firm as of now....I am already having second thoughts about selling it...

 

[084runnerltd]

Here are the "bad pics"

Small surface rust on rear tailgate. In pic 3, it is in the lower left. That smudging on the pic is just watermarks.

 

[084runnerltd]

Cleaned up rig photos.

 

[amit]

How is the rust under the rig?
Will it pass smog test?

The rust underneath is not bad...I took a few pics today but didn't want to post them until I can clean the under carriage better.

I went to to the car wash, then cruised quick to a heated garage as it is about 10 degrees out and didn't want my rig to be glazed in ice.....but the mix of the water and dirt that was on the undercarriage, turned into to mud/sludge....that could appear like rust.

Here is 1 example....we don't salt in ND, and I installed the OME lift 1 year ago (so it has never been exposed to salt). But in the attached pic it looks rusty....

. As does the entire front diff.... There is definitely some surface rust on diff, but not nearly as bad as the pics look.

Nothing, that I am aware of is anything more than surface rust.

When I installed OME lift last year I used no power/air tools and was able to remove old suspension. (I had an issue with 1 nut, but it was my fault for stripping it)

After the lift was done I brought it to the Toyota dealership to adjust the LSPV. They had no issues adjusted the LSPV. (It seems pretty common for people to break/strip that when adjusting in, regardless of being in the rust belt or not.)

It is sitting in heated garage now, my plan is to try to clean it up better tomorrow and post some more undercarriage pics.

There should be no smog issues. We don't have smog tests out here, but exhaust was replaced with cats and O2 sensors 2 yrs ago. (Right when I bought it).
