Yeah been doing the same thing.
Toyota hardware just has something special to them.
And the numbers provide so much information. But the new localized production 90080-XXXXX numbers blow.

Installed my winch, fabbed up a mount for it too!
G'Day Fella's,
As I mentioned above, I need to make a tow bar, for the Battle Cruiser ........................
Whilst the rear bumper was removed.
1.5 meter length, of 65mm x 65mm x 5mm wall thickness, RHS.
I decided, the tow bar needed to be a bit (16.5mm) lower (hence the additional 12.5mm holes).
The underside.
D'oh!

LCD Display Specs: Yes, you can be fast without the A-pillar gauges. The remote LCD display gives you a stealth look and important data in high contrast digital format. The aluminum enclosure dimensions are 4.7" x 2" x 0.9" , slightly larger than the LCD display itself. The LCD fonts are bright...

Got the #1's speaker pods done....headed to the 12 hour Sebring race this weekend and figured driving with a little more sound wouldn't be a bad thing. Ran a 6.5" shallow speaker mounted behind the pod so I can run an OEM flush grille. 6.5s sound way better than the 5.25s in the 73.
Big thanks to Cruiserparts for NOT getting me the speaker grilles I ordered 3 weeks ago. I don't know why I even deal with those guys. Unfortunately oak grilles are NLA....they had them. Or so they said.
Installed some dual 9" SPAL fans we had for this project that never got installed when we built it......trying to help a little with cooling for the 1FZ when running the AC in our swamp heat. Not the coolest running motor due to the positions of the fan/shroud/radiator/motor. I have a scan gauge now in the truck so I can obsess over the temps....I liked it better when I was staring at the factory temp gauge's needle that never moved.

@AndrewHadji told me he recently bought some nice cup holders for his Troopy and in an effort to keep up with the "Andrew's" I decided to do the same. I elected to splurge and get the expandable model which can hold up to 4 medium sized cups.
Run a couple deck screws down through that bad boy to hold it still and you will be golden.

Enjoying a somewhat rainy 12 Hour Sebring race. Getting spoiled with this truck and how easy it is to set up and enjoy.

Added hitch.. recently found a quirky vintage aluminum camping trailer & a classic bike rack & canvas bike cover... finally tried the 52v 24ah ebike battery with 1500w sine wave inverter... nice
pics at Pismo Dunes..
So I've put on around 2000 miles in the last 2 weeks picking up treasures - Trailer Bakersfield 450 r/t.. bike rack & cover Delano 550 r/t... CAPS ceramic coatings Fresno 400 r/t (one more r/t to go)
& I've notices the following.... my l/c drives BETTER with the 33×12.5 tires than it did with the stock oem rims/tires..
- with the big tires revs & kph are spot on with all mph reading devices.. from 25 -70 ... mileage around 25-27mpg @60-70 on the highway.. and here in central California nothing is flat.. all hills & mountains..
-acceleration up hills is quinker
-after long hill Temps drop quickly
Can't wait to get the upgrades package installed...

White + graphics looks very good on your Cruiser.
