I added LED bulbs in the fogs a few weeks back posted here

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/what-have-you-done-to-your-100-series-this-week.609679/page-241

You can see the DS fog light is cloudy so I ordered replacement housings from an EBay site another member posted

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2007-Toyota-Land-Cruiser-Fog-Lights-Front-Lamps-Wiring-Kit-FULL-SET-/251597818168?fits=Make:Toyota|Model:Land+Cruiser&hash=item3a94660938&vxp=mtr&rmvSB=true

I was sceptical due to the $45 for all price

Here is the box with everything harness, relay, switch, none of which i needed just the new housings (Came with bulbs as well)

I thought they looked pretty good minus the housing being black vs grey which was also what the ad looked like (Grey)
BUT when i compared to the original you can see that there is no reflector cover over the bulb as in the OEM, notice how you can see the driveway through the lamp.....

Figured no big deal so I put it in and tested it against the PS which was not foggy. With these LEDS I don't think the reflector matters really

Since the new one looked so bright I swapped out the PS as well here it is with both swapped...

I will see if there is a difference at night i'm thinking that if I want to I could pop the tabs holding the lens in and replace it back on the original housing but for now I don't think it is a bad deal for 45$

They look good to me, I'd be interested to see a night shot if you can. Also did they provide all new wiring as if it doesn't already exist from the factory? Last question, does that switch even have the same form factor to fit into a factory blank? If so I could be interested in buying it off you...

This week? Ummm, I filled up the tank; at $90/tank here in central CA, that is not a lot of fun. After my bank account recovers from paying for 6 days at a hotel in Hawai'i in July, I'm looking at 285/295s and a leveling kit. As always, funds permitting.

@yotasavg I will grab you a night shot tonight.. Yes it included all new harness, which i did not need, relay etc...

Here is a pick of the switch.. Looks like it would fit in the factory blank no problem ....

I really do not need the harness or switch.. I was going to throw it in the toolbox for just in case but I would just as soon see someone who needs it have it ... PM me if you think you want it.. I give you the switch and harness and the 9006 bulbs if you want ....

working to find a good place to mount my Outer Limits first aid kit & Center Axis Fire Ext. mount...... both great products with super fast delivery.... love feeling good about ordering from a Mud Vendor !

The Outer Limits setup is really well thought out and designed, plus the case is killer.

 

[SmoothLC]

Nice - where are you going to mount each of them?

Post some images when you get them installed.

 

[RS6tofj80]

I'm in a holding pattern on mounting...... decided that I might go with a set of rear drawers.... so pending those I think at least the FA kit will go in the rear... inclined to mount the Extinguisher under the driver seat... ordered up a marine spec exting. to test fit....

working on placing the Inverter as well....

 

[TheForger]

Finished cleaning and conditioning the rear seats, vacuumed a bit, and I'm finally getting familiar with the new sound system.

 

[jemsec]

Is there a link or more info on you interior storage rack and barrier?

 

[TheForger]

@jemsec This is all I got. I built it myself and didn't do a very good write up of it. I like it and it lets me make use of otherwise unused space.

Installed a barrier for protection from anything in the back turning into projectiles in case of an accident. I plan on mounting a couple tools up there (axe, wood hack saw, etc..) now that I have this. Just have to figure out exactly which ones to know where to mount the straps. The grid acting as the barrier is only hanging by a few zip-ties for the time being because I haven't found the time to pick up the hinges I want (marine-grade UV & water resistant w/bronze finish) but I will post more photos after I install them. I chose hinges because I want it to be able to fold toward the rear if I need to put something in the cargo area while sitting in the seats, but the headrests prevent it from folding forward therefor preventing items in the cargo area from flying towards the passengers.

Finally got everything I wanted installed on the interior cargo rack. May pick up a few bungee cords tomorrow because honestly when are bungee cords not appropriate?? I've already put the axe and shovel to use and I'm sure they will all come in handy during the winter when I have to deal with fallen trees.

With a little tweaking, I was able to fit one of these "Safe Jacks" in the factory location.

 

[hoser]

LEX, any chance those jack extensions work with the OE jack?

Negative. They won't fit.

Couldn't resist the free emblem thing.
"The Pensioner" has been badged.

Passed Maryland safety inspection, changed oil with Mobil 1, and spent a few hundred miles bonding.

Got my Dissent offroad bumper installed with winch mounted inside..

Took the family out to celebrate on a fun easy road with some deep washouts. Approach angle dramatically improved with new bumper. Got to flex my suspension on the 100 for the first time too. Pretty good weekend.

How did you go about mounting your license plate?

Edit: found it here.
