Luxasaurus Build

Postby Luxasaurus on Thu, 02 Jun 2011 7:02 +0000

Well i might aswell throw up a build thread as im soon to get into getting stuff done to the Lux

Well here are the basics to my Lux

She is an 04 3.0L Turbo Diesel, Still a baby running just under 115K on the clock, Not much has been done as i came into this vehicle from my parents (Old man is P.Ranger on the forum) Yeah i know ill cop some flak from him as he doesnt want me messing with it. But im sure you fellas will help me convince him :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

Current Stance:
TJM Bar
Hella Spotties
31' Dick Cepeks
Towbar
UHF (Miller and I will soon be fixing it removing the AM function)


Future Mods (Idea's too):
New TJM Bar to replace my battering ram
Lightforce Spotties (You know the Big F**k off spotties)
32' Dick Cepeks
2' Lift
Sound system (HU, Sufwoofer, Amp Etc)
Buds Custom Sliders
TJM Brushbar (Removing a part of the side step and weld the Brushbar to the Sliders)
Safari Snorkel
Exhaust (Turbo Back)
DP Chip
Diff Breathers

Here is how she stands

:o Clean Lux? Whats going on here

well body lift is cheap as chips and 33's are sometimes cheaper than 32's so it;; probly cost only slightly more than the planned list of mods u already have :D

Spray the CD player with WD40, should be right.

Can't we just take the current unit out temporarily and put the unit out of your liberty in? Might look dodgy but it'll work for the time being..
