Anyone rip all those images into a nice little zip file yet? I'm lamenting going through and saving each individual image.
Nice idea. I have some Westin toolboxes that I got from 4wheelonline., so I need a shelf like that.
I'm wanting a set of those bad. What the hell do you suppose that thing hanging on a sunshade anchor in pic #91?I grabbed them.I could zip them up if needed.
I’ve got a white 97 that is so disassembled right now I could change the color to sand glow yellow. I’ve been thinking about it. You guys think it would hurt or help it’s value?
The past manufacturing plant in Brasil had sand glow as a paint scheme for the 110s made there. Some folks called it baby puke.
It is a historic color though. Originality is key for some buyers yet a quality paint respray is also worthwhile.
Like assholes everyone has an opinion yet Sand Glow if done right looks really nice on a D1.
Depends how deep you want to go with it. Partially done "tribute" cars are awful in my opinion, the kind of stuff I'd expect to see on a rover facebook group.
@FatMcNasty @overlanxd Following up on the Hyena quotes... I am finding myself in the market for a bumper, so I contacted Hyena yesterday (not realizing about this thread) and they sent me a quote back today for about the same price, ~$1940 shipped to FL. They said "We are working on the possibility of shipping to the USA. It might take some time (2 months)". Not sure what they were telling you a few months ago.
Just to get an idea of comparison, I went to Tactical Rovers, and priced up one of their bumpers with shipping and powder coating, and that came to $1700. Considering that the Hyena CT kit comes with 2x tow jaws, plus the steering guard, it's almost a better "deal" to my untrained eyes, crazily enough.

The last I had talked to them I told them if they were ever in a position to send a group buy over to the states I'd be first in line. It's not even that it's a bad deal as is. It looks great, seems high quality, and they're the only show in town making them, so I definitely get it. There's just something, I don't know, yucky, about spending just as much on taxes and shipping as the item itself, especially when you're talking a couple thousand for a brush guard. FWIW I had a flatbed for my Tacoma shipped from Australia to NY that only ended up being about $400 for shipping. Had to wait for a group buy to get them to the states, but that's a much easier pill to swallow for a significantly larger item.
I ended up nabbing a used ARB for $500 a couple months back, so that's my stopgap until something turns up on the Hyena front
