I don't but I just bought them off of ebay. I looked for the large square LED plate, with the attached wiring pin to match the land cruiser. They were less than $5 and light up the entire truck

Hey man, nice looking cruiser! Jealous of that supercharger. Had to post just to say hi...I'm from Georgetown, SC but live in San Diego now. If you see an old faded/crusty green 80 driving around with an upside down toyota emblem on the back, thats my mom's cruiser!
Great score on the Cruiser. I've always liked the look of the rigs from Land Rover but just been too afraid of issues, glad yours is good. On the Cruiser, it might be a good idea to change the supercharger oil. There is a drain on the snout. Just get ebay oil for a pontiac supercharged 3.8 - same unit different wrapping. Be prepared for the worst smelling s**t ever!. To go further, budget for a rebuild of it when you can too. Should run around 6-800 bucks iirc. Keep up the good work

I went to Lowcountry up in Pawleys Island. I actually wanted to buy her Cruiser before I found mine. Theres a real clean black one driving around town recently
I think we used to play that soccer team whenever I played for our school. Haha that's crazy that you were looking into buying her cruiser. My dad put it up on craigslist but didn't really get any offers...plus I convinced him to keep it. It's not the prettiest but after blowing the HG and having it fully rebuilt, it runs like a champ now. I talked wth my pops and he said he has seen a black one riding around town as well but I don't think it was very clean...kind of faded and there was a young kid guy driving it

So this past week I took off the blown/rusted stock shocks and installed 2" extended Bilstein shocks and 1.25" spring spacers all around. I want to keep the trucks nice road manners, but wanted to lift it just a tad. The ride is very stiff and nice, It sits a solid 1.5" higher all around, and I am very happy indeed. I think I will fit 315/75/16s under in when my 33s wear down.
Wanted to see if you could update on the experience with your tires (the Milestar Patagonia MTs)? How are they doing and how many miles have you put on them?

So a lot has been going on over the past few months... Tough school semester and my mother passed away (she was only 57)... anyways Ive found some distraction in messing with the Cruiser so time to update this thread...
First things first I did some big lighting overhaul. All my interior lights are LED so I decided to do LED Headlights, Hi and Low beams, and New LED taillight housings with LED Bulbs... So now every single light on the truck is LED! The headlight combo is incredible! I used $40 ebay LED kit for the High Beams and Southeast Overlands Lifetime LED Hight Intensity Kit for the Low beams. Steve at Southeast Overland is a good friend and runs a great business. Look him up! The Taillights are ebay Euro style housings and ebay LED bulbs, Im cheap and they work great! All told Im in less than $300 for LED Headlight Bulbs and New Taillight housings and LEDs. Tell me what you think

The Ive got the high beams on the the headlight pic, The lights are clear cool white, and they're very bright. Haven't had an issue blinding anyone with the low beams, no flashed lights so I think Im good
