I know right. Always amusing to go to single friends homes and see engine parts on the coffee table and in the kitchen sink

TEXAS LEXUS!
Have a buddy that has rebuilt multiple engines in his living room.
We rebuilt a 4 wheeler in our dorm room in college. Had to take the wheels off to get it up the stairs through.
Got a Kaymar tire carrier off a buddy - installed and now just need to get the rim blacked out to match the rest of the rig. Tire doesn't match (never used Baja MTZ) but is the right size and was the right price ($Free.99).

Wheels are on.
Thanks LS1.They have done this mod so they can they have power to their windows even without the ignition on. When you do so it lights up the "Auto" light within the switch at the same time which creates an electrical draw on the battery. By eliminating the light bulb they don't have to worry about that anymore.

Went to Tierra Del Sol . Here's a post of it on my wife's blog.

Forgot to post this! Video of a trip we did back in Jan
I need to do that too so I can get wheel weights to stick. I am sick of ripping off wheel weights on rocks. What are you using to clean other then a brillow pad.
We were witnesses of the eruption of the volcano in Chili, a few days ago, and made a video of it. See below. Three days after that we wanted to travel further, but through the lava region of the volcano, a national park. It was still code orange and the volcano was still smoking, but we just wanted to give it a try. The park ranger at the gate looked at our 80-series, then with a broad smile at us, and let us through. We had to promise not to go hiking though, because of the code orange. "Very bad road," he said. A few miles further we were stopped by a second ranger on a dirt bike. "Impossible to drive this road," he said. And I said: "I drive a Land Cruiser..." Same reaction as from the first one. And he wished us a nice day and let us go. Great trip! Below also a short video from some steep parts. You don't really see it on the video, but it was "4x4 low gear" steep

That's wild. Thank for sharing!

I would like to, guys, really! Enough nice videos, but no time for more editing, and my laptop is too slow to do more than this...

Wow that is some thing else!
All I had on hand were the brillo pad, dawn soap, and soft scrub. I was just trying to clean it up a little and then experiment with plastidippin the spare to see how it would look. Started cleaning and noticed some pretty bad pitting underneath all that brake dust and corrosion and was concerned on how bad it really was....so decided to scrub them down pretty clean to see. All of the spots seemed to be superficial though. Had to scrub damn hard. I'm sure there are much better ways to scrub it down but all I had at the time.
New tires/wheels installed! Now to go use them...
Installed LED high beams
Installed Metaltech sliders. Wasn't the weekend 
3 beer job
