Mmmm, gonna need more pics. Nicely done.
Nice Job!
Got the budbuilt sliders put on. That was tough lol
Any close ups near the hitch area? Seems like a great alternative for those of us that don’t need full on swingout bumpers but need more armor.
Sure thing will post more this weekend. I’m also going to try and “modify” the hitch cover
Modified Ironman roof rack to hold 5 LED lights, and then installed.
Added a fire extinguisher. I keep this one for helping others an have an Element unit for myself.
Also makes a great spot for my Swifter.

Sparco Dakar 8.5x17 ET25 with 285/70/17
There's a specific one made for our LCs: Land Cruiser Products - LCP - Jack Adapters - https://sites.google.com/site/landcruiserproducts/jack-adapters
I tried to purchase from them, but they are out of stock and no response to emails
Caught up on a bunch of maintenance and put together the final logistics for our summer road trip this week.
General Itinerary is:
Chattanooga to Breckenridge for a week (we do a week in Summit County every summer)
Breck to Dinosaur National Monument/Flaming River Gorge
Flaming River Gorge to Grand Tetons
Grand Tetons to Yellowstone
Yellowstone to Devil's Tower
Devils Tower to Sioux Falls
Sioux falls to Chattanooga
We'll be doing a combination of Staying in Hotels/Lodges and 4 nights tent camping (two in Dinosaur and two in Yellowstone).
The plan goal is Mountain Biking, Sight Seeing, and a little light duty 4x4ing. To prep the truck I've done the following in the past week or so. For reference, the truck is a 2008 Land Cruiser with 257k miles, of which I've put on the last 55k.
1) Radiator Flush/Fill
2) Serpentine Belt/Tensioner/Idler (Took care of a little belt noise on startup)
3) Transmission Flush per @NLScooby's great video (used Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic ATF after some research. Yes I know ATF WS or Die). We towed our camper a few hours away right after and shifting performance was much improved. I'm pretty sure this had never been done.
4) Oil Change
5) Diffs and Transfer Case Fluid Change
6) Installed Budbuilt Front and Engine Skids
I opted for the AL front skid and the Light Steel Engine skid as I wanted something better than factory, with good access for oil changes, but didn't need the extreme protection of Bud's heaviest option. Install was very easy. I had a bare aluminum front skid on my Tacoma and liked it because it didn't get rusty as it got scraped/took hits from sand, rocks, and road debris.
Now it's time to wash her up, put on the roof box, bike rack, and awning, and start packing!
Then all there is to do is to burn some fuel!
Happy Summer Road Tripping to everyone!
