congrats! The satin wrap is cool. Interesting how those rear fender flares extend from the body down to the aftermarket bumper. Seems like flex in that bumper with be an issue for the flares.
Ok, so looks like on yours that shock mount tab broke and peeled the guard back? Yeah mine is not a rock crawler rig either, but to be honest it has easily crawled up stuff I wouldn't have considered previously - which makes me less worried about crawling up more stuff in the future, lol. But of...
So does that bud built shock skid mount on the shock bolt? Looks like from the pictures on their website it mounts on the shock bolt with a tab on the inside of the slider, then a bolt on either side. Not sure I'm crazy about it mounting to the shock - If that is indeed how it mounts.
Yeah, i bought the wrong product for the job. Honestly didn't think I'd be taking the 200 on a trail that would require anything heavier than that. But, then I did. 😂
Kaon shock skids did not hold up as well as I'd hoped. Here is the before and after. A difficult stretch on Elephant Hill in Canyonlands destroyed both sides. Glad I had them, they did their job but I may be looking for some BudBuilt replacements.
Huh, thats interesting. I ran 285 70R18s on the stock HE wheels with no KDSS rub (without spacers) I did add spacers and have the OME 2-3" lift. With that set up it rubbed on the mudflap at full turn in reverse, but just barely. I have the same rub in the same spot with the 285/75/17. On paper...
Not 200 series related, but kinda. Long single track ride on dirt bikes with my bro and our sons. Which ended on an offroad trail I'll be bringing the 200 back to. We ran into @Toyotasaurusrex in his slightly modded FJ55 - always a treat to see a 55 out on trails.
Didn't really need the basket on my Slee rear bumper for fuel since I have the LRA tank. Bought some jerry can style storage containers that are lockable. Recovery gear in one, tools in the other. Didn't love the color they came in so I used some left over paint from my FJ40 restoration to...
Didn't want to trash my Heritage Wheels on the trails so I bought a wheeling set. Decided on these rebound pros. 17" diameter also gave me a little more sidewall which I think will be nice on trails. Added 285/75/17 bfg K02. Slight rubbing when turning sharp in reverse, but I had that with...
cool, i planned a trip to Moab months ago. I didn't realize it's Cruise Moab week. Will be fun to see a bunch of LCs down there to dilute the usual concentration of Jeeps. If you see a white 200 travelling with a Rubicon (my brother) be sure to do something impressive to help me convince him he...
I got code c1610, then scanned again and got code 5C40. Searched around the interwebs and can't find anything on how to re-establish connection. I wondered if the connection got wet in the car wash or something and blew a fuse but can't find any info on whether or not that camera is on a fuse.
