Following @Javier's answer. I have decided to go with "patching up the external IP" for my load balancer.

 $ kubectl patch service my-loadbalancer-service-name \
-n lb-service-namespace \
-p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer", "externalIPs":["192.168.39.25"]}}'

This will replace that 'pending' with a new patched up IP address you can use for your cluster.

For more on this. Please see karthik's post on LoadBalancer support with Minikube for Kubernetes

Not the cleanest way to do it. I needed a temporary solution. Hope this helps somebody.
