I really can’t express with enough enthusiasm how lucky we are as a community to have @BenCC to make this stuff for us. Not only are his products high quality, but his enthusiasm and willingness to make almost any part we ask for is rare in today’s day and age. I’m sure when I say this, I speak for all of us. Thank you Ben!

I had my first LC100 about 10 years ago as my daily drive in college. At that time, 3d print was not tangible. I always wanted to make stuff for my land cruiser. Then 4 years later, I drove it to California for graduate school. I do regret selling it because I could not afford $5/ga California gas. Two years later, I came back to Ohio for my PhD. The first thing I did was to search for a LC100 and got a same color same year as the one I sold. Long story short, I like this vehicle, like to improve our experience driving/camping in it.

Ok got it. When can we order ?

World's weirdest looking LC haha.

The fog light mount holds up great in open environment.

The amber LED is another project that I want to replace the tuning signal. It functions as turn signal on city road, and as widespread-pattern light off road. It is in very early stage. The red mount is the first prototype.

This is one of the candidate materials to print the cupholder. It contains carbon fiber and has a low gloss finish.

I'm close to ordering some Method 701s, just waiting to see what the best BF sale is. Will these caps also fit the 701 wheels?

Honestly, I have no idea. But I can print a quick prototype of these caps in cheap material and send it to you. If it fits, @suprarx7nut can print a set for you in the high-end material.

Why not? USPS is still in business. Wasn't sure since Amazon made their announcement yesterday. I'll put together my order then.

Wow, that would be great!

More props for @BenCC. He made these front wheel caps for my Icon Compression wheels. For future reference, Icon Rebounds use the same caps.

Let’s see how it holds up after the winter. Do you have snow in your area?

No snow here. The most it will see is a few weeks of ski trips.

Make 42 Dummy Flange

1 Overview of the Final Product

Photo credit to @Ayune .

2 Introduction

M42 is simply a splineless drive flange to use in case of a blown front diff. It protects the front bearings from water & debris while limping home. M42 is more of an emergency-use product.

@Ayune designed the part and we worked together on a couple of prototypes to get it correct.

3 Purchase

$50/pair plus shipping.
You can reuse the original nuts or buy six Nylon-Insert locknuts.

PM for Direct Paypal Payment.

It should be noted that, in addition to removing the front drive shaft, BOTH front wheels need a dummy flange to isolate a blown front diff. So order in pairs.

YUP! They should be sold in pairs for sure.
