What Did you do to your LX/LC today and BS thread

Those look nice!!!

 

How's that ladder coming long?!?!

 

Haven't done a thing since Sunday. Had Mucho other stuff I had to do. Tomorrow is get the suspension wrapped up day so I can flip the truck around in the garage and keep working easily.

 

It's still on blocks... Last time you drove it.. For the inspection...

 

Yeah basically. Just been delay after delay after delay. I'm trying to cut out of work a little early today so I can get it back on its wheels and turned around in the garage...

 

Took Daisy into service... 90k. Water pump, belts...Servicing AHC and replacing all fluids.

 

I am going to wrap up this bumper today. I gotta get it painted!!!

 

Bet if you send it too me I could have it cerakoted and shipped back before you even think about driving it.

 

That would be sweet but I bet shipping this huge monster would be insane. I do wanna send you a slide though and some other odds and ends...

 

let me know when your ready.... getting out of this heat and heading back up to Tahoe tomorrow in the AM.. Woot... Price of doing business up there i guess... Just the dog, and me... Getting the fuck out of the city..

 

I'll shoot you a PM... no gun mods till the cruiser is running right again.

 

Glad to hear Cruiser outfitters is actually a good place.. From someone I actually know...

 

Adam pointed me in their direction and Kurt/Bryce have been awesome. Their knowledge of these cruisers is pretty impressive. Give them a call and let them work on a build for you. They go through everything to make sure they get you the right parts. And if it's wrong they will fix it. Highly recommended!

 

So what are you doing with the frame? Have you figured it out?!?!?

 

Yeah. We sorted out the bent section when we built the bumper by relief cutting and plating which worked very well. But I still have some bulging that I intend to remove and then plate over with some frame reinforcement plates. I'm sure it's good as it is now but I'd rather just beef up what needs it before it develops into more frame flexing back there. It's all behind the rear suspension so it's not throwing off any geometry.

 

At least a it's behind the suspension...

 

I do my best to point people to places that actually help, and give information that's actually accurate. Unfortunately, there's a large percentage of this forum that feel like if it's not something they want to hear it must be BS. Oh well. Not claiming to know everything by any stretch, but 25+ years of doing this crap has taught me a thing or two.

Glad Kurt and crew are taking care of you.

 

I've had a busy week working on my 80. Finished up both axles, new radiator, water pump, hoses, belts, front main seal, oil pump cover O ring, distributor O ring, rotors, brakes, and I bought a used ARB bull bar off craigslist, needs painted but overall good condition. Found a set of TRD wheels on craigslist tonight, trying to work a deal. The guy said he would take $700 for them, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on these.

I'm going to have the exhaust worked on this week and then going to order my OME 2.5" heavy suspension. After that it's some 315/75/16's.........hopefully on the TRD wheels I have attached. Only thing I'm going to do to the wheels is powder coat the rings black.

 

I found another 80 on MUD with the TRD wheels, the more I look at these, the more I like them. This one have a 4" lift

 

Taking my 100 up cabin creek road today and going to explore Silver Peak and Bradley Hut.
