^^^Land Cruiser politics. You've just entered the Land Cruiser Spin Zone.

How else is a guy expected to spend $60k on a truck and get away with it scot-free?

 

[RTaylor]

First time I've layed the passenger seat flat. Plenty of room for 8ft lumber

 

[agomez]

holy crap....you ARE the worlds worst welder...lol. Doesn't matter though, you can't see anything with the box on it.


also, time to ditch the running boards.

like you're such a do it yourselfer......

ARBs - Check

 

[SteveTheDog]

so here is a question. Are ARBs and a center lock better than the OEM traction control?

 

[Atwalz]

We wheeled in Ouray and did not feel the need for lockers. Crawl control works wonderfully. Not sure when one would use lockers. May be in mud.

 

[SteveTheDog]

anyone else put lockers in their 200?

when I bought my truck it had ARB OBA and the ARB front/rear locker switches already installed. can't have swtiches without the lockers...

next up is the TRD Supercharger....then i'll probably sell it....lol. Im kidding of course.

edit: im kidding about selling it not putting the SC in it...just to clarify

I have a rear locker and never used it in Ouray. Really only used 4lo and that was it. No crawl or CDL. Until you put it to the test you won't understand what this rig is capable of. Im blown away at what a tank these trucks are.

from talking with my mechanic the front lockers are bitch to put in...

 

[Willy beamin]

Be glad you didn't have to pay that bill.

 

[Willy beamin]

Not cheap

Not cheap

What did you pay in parts and labor, about $2200?

 

[SteveTheDog]

Be glad you didn't have to pay that bill.

I paid for the front and rear lockers and for the install. each locker costs apron $1100 and the install was $1800

 

[MScruiser]

So you paid $2900 an axle? That seems high. I think my guy quoted me $900 in labor per axle, plus the cost of the lockers.

Edit: Or are you saying that labor was $450 per axle?

 

[SteveTheDog]

$1100 arb + $900 labor = $2000 per axle

 

[Willy beamin]

Plus the compressor and the labor hours to hook that up

my compressor and switches were already installed.

 

[MScruiser]

$1100 arb + $900 labor = $2000 per axle

Ok, that sounds right.

Installed Frontrunner Roof Rack

Installed Frontrunner Roof Rack

Looks great! One of those is on my short list of mods (a list that gets longer each day).

How much distance is there between the rear of the rack and the edge of the roof (between the roof and rear lift gate)? My only issue with one of the racks may be that I have a roof-mounted antenna at the back. Just wondering if I have room for both on top of my Cruiser.
