Builds Yet another New LC Owner

[Fosters]

After owning and modding 2 disco's this one will be easy...I just sold an Audi TT that I went pretty daft on in the modding department too, probably to the tune of 25k or so...sold at a loss to fund this rig...The rover goes to a new owner this weekend...
Also rencently bought a KLR650 and have already been modding that...When will the madness end???

Nice choice on the LC, love the disco but as you say they look and run awesome .. just when they are actually working which isn't too often haha

Not bad looking for 177000 miles

Done so far,
Removed tint from front windows.
JDM LED tail lights
Clear corner markers
Scion CD radio and Ipod cable
Installed new front seat gears and white caps
Cleaned the Window switch contacts
Replaced front door window rubbers
Repainted bumpers
Fixed ding on hood and lower valance
Fixed rust on tailgate (hence no badges yet...En Route from CDan)
CDL button
Added Engel Fridge freezer from my old Discovery
Added #15 Powertank

New seat leather on order from Shane, New seat foam from CDan along with Chrome badging to get rid of the pimptastic gold badging

I plan on losing the running boards,adding front mudflaps and maybe a couple of nice HD Bumpers along with a slightly larger tire...

Dont want to compromise the ride or reliability of this truck

Your snorkel appears to go in the fender closer to the cab than any other one I've seen

That's the beauty of the Toyota snorkel
