    LuX450 Build: 97 LX450 (FZJ80 Cruiser)

    Been slow on the progress of the LuX450 as I've been devoting time on my 93 Crawler to get ready for Rubicon. I did finally install my badge on the LuX450 and my Gobi Ladder.

    When Should You Replace Overland Rig Tires?

    It would probably have been fine if you aired down and drove slower. Keep in mind it's an old tire and called a spare for a reason. Drive slower and more careful with spares if they are old.

    This is what sold my wife too. Kids and wife first event. I tried to get the wife to do Hollister a few months ago and no go. Even tried to get her to go to the Marlin Crawler Rubicon Roundup event (weekend before OG2) and no go. OG2 is a little pricey compared to other events, but I got the...

    Plano Cases

    I've seen plenty of pics of pelican cases for recovery gear. Seems like an expensive case for recovery gear tho. I rather put my guns in my pelican case then recovery gear. I'm fine with my small tool bag loaded with recovery gear. I'm able to squeeze a snatch block, tow strap, snatch strap, 6...

    Plano Cases

    I stood on mine and while it holds my weight I wouldn't want to jump up and down the test how strong it is. I ran a small bead of silicone over the lid and it had a nice snug fit now. I'm guessing it will be fairly water resistant and will keep fine dust out.

    That's a great price for a 1819. The one on Jet and Walmart is the heavy duty version 1919.

    Prior to me adding the armour, sliders, gobi rack and 35s. The worst i got was 12mpg. Adding the stuff now makes it 10.5 mpg at the very worst crusing at 80 mph. If I stay under 70mph I can get 12.5 mpg.[emoji45]

    2016 Nor-Cal OTG Rally 2.0 Convoy

    Registered for OTG2. I'm in for the San Jose and can meet at a South Bay rally point depending on time. Taking the FZJ80 and will need some frequent gas stops to fill up the old guzzler. I get maybe 10-11 mpg if i'm lucky fully loaded. Maybe 13-14 if I stay off the skinny pedal.

    My ARB bull bar did its job.. do I Replace or Repair? What you guys think

    I would fix it and spend the money on a Gobi, snorkel and etc. When and if you have the money just buy a new one then. If you plan on fixing it. Leave it mounted on your car. Use a shop rack/lift/tow truck/fork lift to straighten her out. That's how I fixed my ARB. Either that or use a tow trap...
