Finding/Sourcing Expo Gear & BUILD Thread for LX450/80 Series

Fellow Arizonans,

Does anyone have good sources to find the common gear for building up an 80 series? I have looked at the most common websites like Slee, Manafre, TRDparts and many of the Vendors on this site.

Here is my build so far; 1997 LX450 w/ 120k miles. TRD Supercharger, factory lockers, ARB Winch bumper. All/most PM done= PHH, fluids, egr, birf rebuilds, valve gaskets, new hoses, rear main seal, all u-joints, brakes, carbon canister, wheel bearings. JDM aux fan, blue hub, (Thanks Murf).

Installed Modifications:
INTERIOR
  • Pioneer AVIC 930BT with mod. need to install backup camera.
  • LED interior and Cree backup lights from pfran42(ih8mud). These are bright/cheap
  • Ultraguage OBD scanner w/ y-splitter
  • Cupholder from LR Discovery
  • Speaker upgrades with boom mats

EXTERIOR & Powertrain
  • Safari Snorkel
  • 4" Ironman 4x4 Lift w new OEM bushings
  • Slee Rear Upper & Lower Control Arms
  • Slee Rear bumper with tire swing out & ladder
  • Budbuilt HD Tie Rod & Drag link
  • HD Tie-rod ends - Cruiser Outfitters
  • Metaltech 4x4 Custom Step Sliders
  • VisionX LED brake lights. not brighter than OEM, I am looking for alternatives.
  • Powerstop brake rotors and HAWK pads w/ LSPV adjustment
  • Stainless Steel brake Lines
  • Mean Green Starter

Purchased but need to install: If your near Scottsdale, AZ and want to bring your cruiser to wrench on, let me know.
1. Gobi Rack w Hannibal Awning
2. Slee headlight harness upgrade

4. Cupholder from LR Discovery (I have an extra, if anyone wants $30-Tan)
5. BlueSea fuse box w 4awg

I am looking for a package and discount off retail for:

Skid plate armor like Manafre's
40-50 qt fridge, with transit bag and slide
Combo Slide out stove like AT makes for under fridge
Water tank w external connect and pump
bug/theft covers for windows
Warn winch with synthetic rope for ARB bumper
1.4m RTT - any quality brand
LED lights - brake/signal

Hey Jeff,

You may want to check the classifieds over at Expedition Portal, there is always used equipment for sale or trade if you are OK with used. The vendors there also have sales and discounts all the time.

Good luck with the build!

Jeff, again I was impressed with you low mile and clean find . You had to go out of state but you do what ya gotta do!

Good luck and more importantly have alot of fun building that rig up!
 
I would contact Mike at bumpitoffroad and see if he will make you a deal if you buy the rear bumper, sliders, roof rack, and skid plate from him. His fab work is amazing...
 
Sierra Expeditions is local and right by you they have all of the stuff you are looking for and Wil is an awesome guy to deal with. They always have great deals going on.
