Sprayed the base bed this morning. 3 coats of epoxy, 3 coats of Genesis under and 3 coats topside.

It's 5'oclock somewhere!!

Looking good!
There's an 80 or 4R peeking out in one photo above. It has some gallon jugs on the gate. paint color looks interesting. Can you share a full side profile pic of that rig too?

Love the green! Is that a Toyota factory color code?

Yes, but not for cruisers. Middle East Corolla IIRC.

How do you like those Baja Design lights. Looking to get a set for mine.

Been running them on personal rigs and customers for past 4 years. Great quality and output.

First 47 miles logged this morning and the LS3 Erod Connect and Cruise has cleared all monitors and ready to go to smog.

Cheers!

Nowdays a 1980s Cali smog vehicle is dam near impossible to install a motor & be legal.
I dont know what loophole or wording etc. how its done, but when it's my turn I'm going the Trail Tailor 5.3 route.

I can only imagine the cool Land Cruisers we could have had without all that legislation. Diesels, V8's etc.

I have seen Dingo in person in the early stages, and it was AMAZING!! I hope to see it again someday finished. So cool.
