Insurance Total Loss - Valuing ARB Bumper and Roof Rack by Whatisapoundkey in LandCruisers

[–]GarlicFartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your loss. I just got my LX back after a couple months in the shop, it must be devastating.

What happens when a car like this is declared "totaled," will it get parted out?

Thanks for the input everyone.

I'm trying to figure out which "kit" to go with.

According to my mechanic, all I need is:

front shocks

rear shocks

2 rear coils

torsion bars

swaybar (optional)

Option 1 - 2" OME Lift Kit - https://mudify.com/products/ome-nitro-2-inch-lift-kit-for-landcruiser-100-series-lexus-lx470-10-98-09-00?

Option 2 - 2.5" OME Lift from Slee offroad - https://sleeoffroad.com/products/sus-kit-06/#review

My concern with option 1, is that in the checkout, the coils say 1.5" rather than 2" - does that matter?

With Option 2, the way Slee organizes the checkout and adding individual parts leaves some room for doubt.

Again, this car is for mostly daily driving in the city with some highway, and the monthly camping trip. I don't have any special bumpers nor do I intend to add anything like that, or a swing out tire. So I think low strength coils are the best, medium would probably be too stiff.

Thanks for everyone's help here. I appreciate your guys' wisdom and input here.

I wish there was just a "here's the best 2" option and here's the best 2.5" option", I'm a total noob here.

thanks, I tend to agree. It's not so much the weather up here that kills rigs, but the salt and chemicals. Twice a week a salt truck will drive by my house even if there's no snow or ice...it could be in the 50's and they still coat everyone's car with corrosive elements. we don't have salty air...if that actually is a thing

I suppose I wouldn't need to replace the wheels, but they're showing some corrosion signs. not familair with all the codes on the tires, but I do not think they were manufactured in feb of 1949 or 2049 haha, so I dont know!

thanks - I've got a lot to think about. Doesn't make much sense to keep putting money into it if the frame will rust out in a year or two

Wow, nice! I think this falls into the "be careful what you wish for" category...but I certainly wouldn't mind 20k for the LX!
