That's a bummer.
This is my first time on black bear. It's really fun if you like heights, narrow off camber and drop offs. Other than that its not really very hard without snow just scary.
Amazing views. Summit is almost 13,000ft

Rewired my winch cover lighting with waterproof LED strips and also wired up a pair of 9" HID flood lights 
Damn things are already bright as hell and I've got 5 more going on the roof

Installed 4" lift. Iron man 4" springs, Radflo 2.5 resi's front and rear, castor plates, Slee extended steel braided brake lines w/ caliper lines as well, had front drive shaft rebuilt with a dbl cardan joint. Running 315's
^^The stance looks really nice!
Working on getting this finished up and bolted into the pintle hitch mounts (drilled the holes tonight in the 1/2 thick angle iron)...then I can carry the bikes much easier and have a step!!
No, I'm not worried about the ground clearance, I don't do the whole rock crawling thing.

A few shots before the wiring starts
Thx, pretty happy with it. The front Is about an 1" lower than the rear. May buy the metal-tech spacers to level it. Wait and see how it settles in.^^The stance looks really nice!
Consider using poly spacers as they will provide some cushion and reduce some of the front "clunk" on speed bumps etc....
I did 20mm front / 10 mm rear to balance my 4" kit out once I had the armour / bumpers on.....
Looking forward to your review on the Radflo's - those are damn sexy !
cheers!

Crashed the FJC party in Ouray and ran Black Bear Pass. That's a fellow Durango friend behind me in his Nissan Safari (JDM version of a Patrol)
Nice! Will you do the other 3? Did that speed up the up/down of the glass?
Nice Corbet.
I didn't really have a window speed problem, just decided to replace all the rubber on that door (including the run) since they seemed pretty dry and crushed in general. Also, I figured spending money on the LX on stuff that isn't broken is a sure-fire way to please the Cruiser Gods.
No difference in speed after the job but everything does feel a little bit 'tighter.' The new belt moulding and inner seal are definitely grabbing the window much tighter than before - a benefit for those situations when you want to roll your window up and down to clear fogging.
I'll probably do the same job on the front PS door (minus the mirror and handle). The rears will just get the Dynamat + Ensolite + new Pioneers, and some Gummi Pflege re-conditioning of the rubber.
Thx for the tip on the spacers. I will definitely check those out. Have only driven about 100 miles on it so far and love the ride. Going to Big Bear next weekend to get its first trail run.
tried to figure out how to fix the power steering pump.....
Elk Lakes. Four hours of driving, two stream crossings and a flat tire. Trails and bridges were washed away with snow/glacier run off. Terrific fun.
PS. Patched tire with ARB kit. Should I bother to bring it in?

Did two days of wheeling at Coal Mine Cruiser Classic put on by Gotham City Land Cruisers at Rausch Creek in PA in @sleeoffroad old truck
Hoping to turn the key and start her up!
