Found out that Amazon offers custom plate frames, so I ordered one to put my 2 cents in with

Love it. Mine would say "What Every Range Rover Wants to Be".

took off my running boards yesterday. Going to find some led strips to replace the stock puddle lights.

Follow up to this;

I FINALLY remedied my annoying CLUNK on full stop accelerations and driving to stops. It was the fri**** upper control arms sliding forward and backwards from being loose.

Y'all have no idea how relieved I am to be able to accelerate now without hearing that freaking clunk.

Now it's time to address the leaking driver side exhaust header.

That's all, carry on...

So the UCA mounting bolts near the frame had come loose? How loose were they? Did you just take a guess and threw a wrench on it and found they weren't as tight as they should be? I have a similar sound that I'm chasing and there's a very good possibility this is the culprit

Mine would say “I’d rather be wrenching on my Land Rover”

Would it be wrong to appropriate their "Nice Jeep Peasant" for the LC/LX family?

Trying out some 2014 Tundra TRD Off-road wheels

Do you happen to know the offset before and after with these wheels? And did you have to get spacers? They look great!

Prinsu rack came in yesterday.

I'd start on welding the coastal skid plate while I have some momentum, but it turns out that I'd rather have beers on the beach. Weird huh?

 

[Ambledog]

Got the sunshade installed.

Rattle canned some OEM 16 inch wheels so I can get a little more sidewall during the summer and keep the dedicated snow tires on the 18s

...hmmm, maybe I should buff all of that pinstriping. On the other hand, I would just pinstripe it again

I dunno man- I got my PC7424 after my other project car the other day and it looks so much better that I'm thinking the Lexus will probably get it too, even if that's just to give some love to the paint overall in advance of repainting the stuff that REALLY has to have it (top of the hood- no clear left). And my truck is absolutely no showpiece. After the rest of it is all slicked up, it'll repel pinstriping too... somewhat.

Got my order off 3/8 stainless black oxide coated bolts and replaced these bolts on my wind fairing. That’s just two wells out in the elements. Just do yourself a favor and spend the money and buy the right stuff. I bought them in a pinch locally and now you know why

I put on a coat of wax and really amazed how well the paint is holding up for an 04. There blems but overall it’s holding up

I so wasn't going to do this for a while, but I had some time today and glad I did.

Land Cruiser goes boom boom now .

Correct. I would say that I was able to get at least 2 full turns on the nut before they were really snugged up.

The reason I thought to explore the controls arms was because I have already searched every square inch of the lower suspension for any worn or loose parts and couldn't find the cause of my knocking. I noticed shortly after a trail I did my alignment was pulling left so I decided to check the (2) nuts on each control arm and that's when I noticed that as I was tightening them down I could hear the crunch of the small rocks/dust making noises as the gap was closing.

I also used a pry bar to wedge in between the frame and control arm and could see there was a small amount of forward and backward movement.

Well, how did it look after the wash? I also spy a nice looking TJ Rubi lurking in the back. I've had my TJ Rubi since 2003. Don't tell anybody around here, but it is still my favorite vehicle

Had a suspect alternator so I swapped it out. Not a terrible job but certainly not the easiest car to do. The old alternator's casing was dented in on the wiring harness plug, so I had to undent it to allow it to unlatch...was a pain given the available working space. But now I have peace of mind!

'04 for me, missed getting one the first year. I still drive it like a go cart lol The LC cleaned up nicely. The hood needs compounding and polishing, the clear coat has gotten hazy from lack of wax and washing in the past. Cheers!
