The BS Daycare but no build thread

That's still a lot. Curious to see how much better you feel with the new ones.

 

I'll keep this thread updated.

We've got another trip coming up next month where we're taking the LC again.

 

Where in cali are you?

 

Central Valley; Fresno Area.

Used to live right along the coast for a good 10 years until recently.

On the plus side, I'm much closer to snow than I have been in a long time!

 

When I get this POS SAS project done, im gonna bring it out there. Gonna be in vegas to visit some fam but would love to see some of those cali trails.

 

There are so many throughout; doesn't matter if you're in Norcal or Socal or even Central...there are trails of all difficulty levels out here.

 

I know. Its endless. When I was living out there I was doing the car thing and now that im on the east coast im so mad at myself for not spending more time on trucks.

 

Rethinking the whole platform idea.

I kind of want to just make a solid floor for the rear, in lieu of the 3rd row seating.

What I want to add though are those 'stealth mount' feet meant for Milwaukee Packout tool cases. I love that my wife got me 4 different Packout cases and they're badass for stowing all my tools and batteries. I have a 5th Packout case that I use exclusively for camping, as well as a 6th smaller socket wrench set that I consider my 'travel' tools.

It'd make going off-road as well as camping much more convenient as I can securely stow a case or even my crate, and carry any necessities with me.

Guess that's the next big thing coming for this LC.

 

Pulled the lightbar off; never was a fan of having them.

If or when I do something about a front bumper, I may pull the front fogs and repurpose them into ditch lights for the rear.

 

@02hilux

Can't wait to see you mount that lightbar on your car

Here's the 'build' thread.

 

Well......not in any particular order.

My Dobinsons rear coils should arrive in the next 2 weeks or so; I ordered front and rears but the rears were backordered. They'll ship once they receive them.

I've got some maintenance to do, really just the PCV valve.

I'd like to post or cross-reference engine bay pictures as I have a lot of extra wires everywhere including an auxiliary electric fan that doesn't even work. I need to clean up the mess of wires in the engine bay and maybe undo the remaining lights.

A rear swingout is also in the works, but I'll need to find the time to model out and measure how much steel I'd need. Will also need to figure out the best way to mount it as well.

And finally, I need to order just the passenger seat leather from Lseat so that way all the leather seating matches. Right now my OCD is kicking into overdrive

 

40s and lockers with MC low gear

 

Don't encourage him!

 

I should start a Gofundme

 

So...Coastal Offroad finally got back to me.

 

Oh soo you’re coming to the next Lunch Table meet

 

Idk. When is it?
