Slee any updates?

[FirstToy]

Slee has said in every thread that it is an early prototype bumper. Maybe he wants to keep the factory bits unmolested so owners can simply slap on the bumper w/o modification to the exhaust... or whatever reason...he is simply showing some development.
The bumper & sliders & mods transforms the stance of the 200, it's pretty cool. Anxious to see the full meal deal w/ ARB front.

Derek, new forum/new readers get spread with b.s. but usually don't want that stink for very long. They soon figure out what is real what isn't.

I went to a small glass pack style resonator...and then finally eliminated it all together by having my muffler guy run the exhaust straight from the muffler to up under the bumper. Totally protected and have a nice V8 sound to it too! And it's not loud at all...just a bit more than the stock (quiet) exhaust.

You exhaust sounds like a very good idea..Got any pix of it ? This is getting a bit of topic but I would be interested in seeing what others have done, as far as mod go, to their exhast systems. Maybe a new thread idea ??

Tucked up nicely. Haven't touched it yet . Whereas I destroyed the OEM resonator and actually put a fairly good size dimple in the small glass pack that replaced it. This is the best solution for me...plus it sounds great IMO (not too loud...I don't like exhaust rumble...) and seems to flow better (subjective...take it for what's its worth).

Sorry for the hijack!

Too true. Like I said, I admit it's a fault of mine, it's hard for me to let stupid remarks go by unchallenged.

Anyway, when I put the 4x4 Labs bumper on my 80, it necessitated cutting off the resonator. I had no issues with it, but that may be because any increase in exhaust noise was drowned by the churning of those 35" mud tires!

Still, IMHO it is not a functional item, just something to help refine the drive. I don't believe there is any noticeable back pressure loss or gain by having it or not having it (though I could be wrong).

The bumper doesn't look too big at all to me. I also noticed the factory rear parking sensors, nice touch!

second time venturing into the 200 section. WOW SLEE! That landcruiser looks wayyyy better then the 200s ive been seeing taking the kids to soccer.

My first look into the 200 forum and 2 things are always consistant on Mud:

1) Slee is on the leading edge. Awesome work guys. Your work is so impressive.

2) Schotts is still the biggest jackass I have ever web-met.

Well if you have been reading as much as you say you would, you know that there is currently NOTHING out for the 200 Series LC yet.

It is all being released pretty quickly, but not here just yet.

Plus if you READ as much as you say you do, you would know what I have on order and am waiting to come in.

Gosh do you always try this macho shit with people? and do they actually fall for it?

Oh year....btw I am not really worried about trying to impress anyone.

[macneill]

A "macho" statement on a website who's primary demographics are men interested in 4-Wheel Drive Vehicles? The horror!

You Thouthern Californianth are tho thenthitive...

They are making tires for the LC200 aren't they ?? I would say TIRES are one of the most crucial mods that are readily available, right NOW !! I don't think Slee has that corner of the mkt all to himself (yet).

No machismo here, "I'm just a cook."

I think mike hit a sensitive spot, hah.

I gave Christo my card yesterday for the Sliders....he is just working on the best way to get them to me now....

[Kneel]

Looks great, Christo...but I do have one minor recommendation.

Flip the door struts on the swing out tire carrier and jerry can basket. Road filth is is gonna collect back there like a mofo, especially when it rains or subjected to a northeast winter. Having the piston up hill is gonna cause that grime to accumulate at the base of the piston, pushing it into the body every time you you swing them out. That will accelerate wear at the seal and lead to possible premature failure. Turn the body uphill, not so much...

[macneill]

All in good jest.
