[UTadventures]

Unpacked the ARB bumper, driving lights, turn signals and installed them with the bumper still in the van. Cut off the lower end caps and painted. Might have got it all done this weekend, but when your water main starts leaking- there are other priorities...

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using 87 for years even when I traveled out west where the cruiser have climbed to 13,000ft. Not a single issue with it, I was loaded down pretty good too and at one stretch climbing that i70 Eisenhower tunnel in CO, I was pegged at redline the entire way up. This thing is a beast.

I have noticed a jump in mileage moving from PA to UT, and gaining 6100' in the process - When I was in Phoenix this summer the LX felt much peppier than I'm used to. "regular" here is 85 octane, and Walmart has 88 octane for 5 cents more, so I just get that. My Boxster, which "requires" 93, commutes just fine on 88 too, and I get 31mpg in the thin air - and it's been well north of 1XX. I used to get 16-17mpg, but it dropped after removing the running boards and repacking front bearings. 15 is good now.

Installed some Anzo headlamps with Silverstar Ultra bulbs. These aren’t as nice as some of the HID/LED conversions folks on here run or offer, but they’re not a terrible alternative. The LX needed some new headlamps and OE replacements are a bit rich, these are in line with other aftermarket options with regard to price. There is a little bit of wiring involved for the halos and the bulb styles differ from OE (H7 low, H1 high.) All in all, I’m happy with the result and the black housings play off the white pearl well, the halos look pretty good in person. Let me know if there are questions.

Any night shots of the lights, and their pattern? I really only need one light, but agree OEMs are pricy. I could buy the pair for way less than one OEM.

I can get you some, I still need to adjust them a touch. Out of the box they were aimed a little low, so I need to bring them up a bit. I can tell you they’re markedly better than the stock lights were, the cutoff is much more defined, I also think the Silverstar bulbs help a bit.

Just did VA to NJ for Turkey day, 900 miles round trip, switched to 93 for the trip and still only averaged 12.5mpg. But I have ARB front bumper, 3 inch lift, 35s, WKOR sliders, 2 teenage boys at a combined weight of 430lbs and a wife that packs way too much. And I am not exactly what one would refer to as "slender"

 

[Eighteen11R]

2.44 (93) vs 2.22 (87) at costco with a 80 mile longevity difference, I think it’s worth it.

I just paid $2.29 for Costco Premium. ~$.05 more than Diesel retail is going for here.

Little kid has some SWAG!

 

[gamecock2009]

I think it’s $57 on partsouq before shipping. Which reminds me, I also need to order the “LX470” emblem

Ignore this

[JustinLXTX]

Random stuff this weekend.

Wired up the fog lights and cleaned up the wiring that came on my Ironman bumper...the bumper came with a very well-made harness complete with OEM-like fog switch, but I just used the OEM wiring. I wanted to swap out the halogen lights for LED, but apparently the housing is sealed. I also need to figure out how I can wire up the LED bumper light/turn signal combo as DRLs while deactivating the feature in my highbeams.

Adjusted my torsion bars to compensate for the increased weight up front. I’m now at 61mm of droop and 21.2” from fender to hub center.

Also installed the Cruiser Garage A/C drain relocation kit. Sure enough, the swaybar bolt directly under the stock drain location rusted up and I rounded it out while replacing my swaybar bushings. No more worries with the new drain location.

 

[shtbrwn86]

Threw on some 18" Sequoia wheels amd Falken WildPeaks. Also put some amber LEDs in the corners and topped off the blinker fluid.

 

[SlowBuild]

I like the look of the new antenna for sure!
