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

@cruiseroutfit
You all going to be at Cruiserfest? I am debating about going and maybe being a vendor..

 

You bet! I lead the Moab to CruiserFest voyage and am on the planning committee for the event. We (Cruiser Outfitters) have been a sponsor of the event since CF1

Make sure to sign up soon if you're planning on a vendor spot, they are reserving them first-come, first-serve. What do you sell?

I am a certified Cerakote applicator trying to get into the auto industry but its a struggle because all the big auto distributors(transamerican denied me today) don't like the fact I do Firearms too..

 

Right on. I'm familiar with the product but don't know terribly much about it. Good luck!

 

basically the toughest aftermarket coating on the market... i eventually want to cerakote whole Land Cruiser..

 

What does that run Greg? Like on a wheel..

 

Depends really on size.. Still doing the research to get a price sheet going... I did a set of Lambo rims and he was happy with the $650 price tag.. Really it's about the Time and prep involved.

 

My Lambo could use some work. We will be in touch.

 

Hey I bought my axle kit from you last month. I finally got everything together along with several other things. I'm ready to buy a lift, I'm sure you sell those also? Looking for an OME 2.5" heavy kit with springs, shocks, steering stab, and caster correction bushings.

 

We stock the full lineup of OME products and are as well versed at product application, installs and use as any out there. Give us a ring when you're ready and we would love to get you taken care of. Thanks!

 

CruiserFest is going to be good this year. Looking forward to it. As for what I did to the cruiser today....cleaned the injectors and replaced the aftermarket radiator with a OEM one. Seems to have finally fixed my overheating issues. WoooT! Just in time for 4 days of wheeling/camping. Headed out in the morning with the family.

 

Where you headed this time?!?!?!

 

Loco, if you don't mind me asking, what did the 4x4Lab rear bumper cost you?

 

@GHOSTFJ have you seen his? I might start coating his bumpers as well. Suppose to go up to grass valley at some point after he gets back from HIH... I saw the front in person up at Gold Lake over the past weekend. I dig them... See if he will do one from an 80.

Today she left the driveway and ventured out into the world.... for an alignment and then a bath from some high school kids doing some fund raising. Prinsu going on tonight and I'll toss in the new SpiderTrax that arrived today. First time really driving it but she is huge! I can't wait to have some sliders so I can get in there easier. It's going to be great on 37s.

 

It was around 1600 bucks plus some shipping which will be different for your area. If you order a kit then it is UPS shipped. If it's assembled it's freight.

You can price everything out on their website.

Mine is the dual swingout, tire carrier, ladder and dual jerry can mount. They have a ton of options though and all available as Weld up kit.

Luke is easy to deal with too but like most fabricators I know is slow on email/calls because they are in the shop welding/cutting up parts. Luke was way better than some fabrication shops I have used in the past and gets a big Loco Seal of Approval!

 

I like my MetalTech4x4 front bumper. If I ever was to get new front bumper, 4x4Labs is what I would go with.

 

Thanks for info. I'm trying to save up for a rear bumper and other mods for a trip next April. I may opt for the kit and build at home.

 

Nerves are holding me back

 

Just got home from another 4 days of backcountry camping/wheeling. The 80 was awesome and it was the first time with this truck that I had a totally full load with the whole family and pulling the trailer. I have been chasing an overheating issue for a few months now. Head gasket was leaking and I had that replaced a while back but it was still getting hot under load on long climbs. Swapped out the aftermarket radiator (that was only 6 months old and installed by the PO) with a factory one and all temps are perfect. Stoked about that.

Now I'm in a mad dash to get it all cleaned out and prepped for the Outdoor Retailer show this week. The truck is the "booth" for the Tepui booth at the show. Tepui ownership and key players will be here to work the show too so it should be a good week.
