I haven't priced Bajas, I just figured Rigids were the most overpriced lights available. I like my Auroras, they usually run $130 per pair, but are really well made.

 

All I see are the license plate holes.

 

Maybe Pelfreybilt has one. For the Lexus.. or someone can custom fab one, prerunner style?

 

Could just smooth it out use a little filler like a dab of bondo then just some touch up paint, it’s going to look less obvious that way.

Also why is our name purple now it’s distracting lol. If we’re changing name colors I need orange.

 

My OCD is triggered more by the UV-fade shadow of the license plate holder.

You can get a competent plastic welder to fill the holes but that would require a respray as you need to sand down the workspace pretty aggressively. It would get rid of the plate shadow though...

 

Looks like I need to head up to Phoenix... for food and all the parts that are waiting up there...

 

I have some rigid pods I bought from Tubbs for $200 that I'll sell you for $300.

 

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen and heard of other girls getting banned.

 

Fuaaaak that fried egg burger bacon thingy looks gooooooood

 

You said it yourself then lol someone beat you to it.

 

Make sure whoever you use doesn't use straight bondo on plastic, it will shadow out and look like ass. At the very least a plastic filler, but preferably a plastic weld.

Basically what happens is they melt a like composition plastic (ABS, PS, HDPE, whatever) into the hole and it becomes a rock solid fill of the exact same material that will never thermal cycle out and crack or something.

I know a guy who could do it up like it was perfect from the factory but he's a bit of a drive... out in North Wales Pennsylvania...

 

Easy fix..... buy plastic plugs/clips. colour match them and pop them in



also WTF on the name colour.... you're cramping my style

 

Still makes them a girl motherfucker.....

 

Screaming match outside

 

Well... the time has come... after much consideration, and soul searching, I am going to take a huge loss and sell my FJ80. I bought it when I had soooo much excess cash... but just over a year later, I'm broke. Good times! LOL

I bought it for 9.5K and have only put on about 3K miles. I put on 5 brand new dirty fives, locked from and rear (not even engaged yet), and regeared, all at the cost of over 5K. Lastly, I have a boxed PrinSu for it which was just over 1K.

It runs very strong. Has some leaks, Biggest one is a rotted power steering line (not pressurized).
A couple months ago one of the brakes started squealing so I bought new calipers and pads. When I was putting them on, I realized the old pads were still good. More investigation and I discovered the bottom botd on both calipers was stripped, and the loose caliper was causing the brake squeal. I wasn't sure if I should go HeliCoil or JBweld... or what... so it sits needing that figured out and the brakes being bled.

So, 16 K into it, driven less than 3 k miles... 8.5K will take it. As soon as I get access to Pirate 4x4 again, I'll be posting it for sale.
