Fantastic thread!
@theron anything new with James Baroud? your house is coming along nicely.
how is the OME Heavy suspension, have you noticed any sagging from the amount of weight you have on it, what is ride quality like on highways. @theron
he hasn't responded in a while but he added air bags so I think that took care of any sagging
he had also added another leaf to his springs....thing is STOUT!
Nice thread. I'm saving this as an inspiration for my build. Only which I had an awesome shop around me to help out.

Lokar shifter is bolted down
Later today the new (to me) BMW seats should get bolted down, Air intake wrapped up and new Speedhut gauges plugged in! Will def post some more pics later this afternoon
Is there a gear indicator for the Lokar shifter or do you just count the clicks?
Did they fabricate a gas pedal for the drive by wire system or use some sort of ordered OEM solution?
Don't think there is an OEM solution that will fit in the standard 60/62 position without some fab/mod. From the threads I have seen most end up using something like a Camaro pedal (I think) and then bend the arm to fit the trans tunnel.
And pretty much Theron is not on here, check his website or instagram if you really want to get ahold of him.

You can actually purchase a Lokar indicator boot that either has the indicator on the side (left of right) or bottom!
@theron Curious if you miss the manual transmission?
Unfortunately there are about 4 different gas pedal varieties for different year pcm combos. We make adapter brackets for each one so they can be bolted on the stock firewall holes. Some pedals also require us to shorten/lengthen the arms to make them fit with good ergonomics.
During my conversion I used the Lokar shift indicator. It's been a great addition.
Just read this whole thread. Awesone truck and awesome adventures. Time to start following you on intagram.
Although it looks like @theron left the building (at least the IH8MUD building) 15 months ago. Sold the cruiser? Working as a stock broker in Manhattan? Who knows? It's nice we're keeping the thread sort of alive in his absence.
Going by his insta @thiswildidea he still has the landcruiser and is still living the dream.
