Lol....how old are you....or do u mean Land Cruiser 80's.
I would assume those rocks would be slick as hell when wet...

 

Hahaha not that old. Yes Land Cuiser 80s.

 

i use a gopro hero 3+ as a dash cam. if you use the gopro you need a skeleton case, and a small extension for the power cord. running it just on the battery will cause headaches lol. and another thing, you will need to constantly erase the memory, i heard you can make it overlap but the quality of video recording goes down. im going to switch over to a dashcam instead of the gopro, just thought id share

 

Too much power! Probably axle wrap was a factor as well. Maybe after the new pack goes in, may want to think about caltrac, hellwig helpers, or armor tech offroad has a traction bar. Probably would hook up way better as well.

 

Yea I'm looking into beefing it up but will wait till recall fixes it.

 

Anyone here ever get interviewed for the pearl harbor apprenticeship program? How was it? I have an interview coming up and I'm pretty nervous. Haha

 

all i know is its a panel interview.

anybody here a flashlight enthusiast? ordered me a fenix pd35 tac. looking for other brands, looked at some surefires but didnt like um that much

 

Me lol I run that light for work . Hella bright ! My friends trip.

 

Most def a flashlight enthusiast. Big fan of hand held 1,000+ lumens as well as niche Ti customs as well.

 

Sure fires are also artificially overpriced. There are far greater values but for the best bang for your buck I suggest you build your own Lego.

 

I ordered mine from Amazon and it was eligible for prime - free shipping!

 

Yeah I already looked and couldn't find them. Glad to hear you scored.

 

I got mine a while ago from Amazon for like $170 bucks or something w/free shipping. It has been removed. The only one they had last time I checked was the one that had that chrome looking "flower" shape for the brake light. I didn't like that design. The one that was removed looks exactly like the stock lights but with the trim blacked out.

 

Even that sounds reasonable. I can't remember the last time I paid over $100 for a couple of plastic housings! In fact I just used FedEx to ship several large fixed blades to Europe and it was about that much. I'm almost positive each housing could fit into a large flat rate box so that makes it less than $40 total. They say they don't do USPS. Guess they didn't know you can print labels from your desk and have them picked up too. One of the reasons why I hate eBay sellers.

 

I just went through that with McMaster Carr. I wanted to order 10 feet of some rubber edge trim which would fit in a small flat rate envelope. They told me that they couldn't do that and that shipping would be $26. SMH The trim only costed $11.

 

Ignorance is no excuse. These guys fall back on "oh we don't have anyone to stand in line and wait at a post office". Hey you don't have a television? If it fits it ships! I ship from my desk constantly! And it's even cheaper than standing in line. In fact the first class postage for a padded envelope dropped 33% and it includes tracking too!!!

 

Can you guys confirm the eBay listing I showed will fit my 2015? The picture looks identical but the years are listed at 05-12. If I have to double ship these I don't want to mess it up. Thanks

I'm pretty sure there are no changes in tailights from 2005 to 2015. When I bought mine from Amazon it said that it wouldn't fit my 2013 also. My 2013 and your 2015 lights should be identical.

 

Mahalo, just had to be sure. You know how they like to put up pics and send you something else...

 

Thats a great price plus no shipping charges
