    Thanks! It is a Fujifilm XT5 with a 33mm lens w/ UV filter. All shot on RAW with a quick edit on Photoshop.

    I've been holding on to these rear window side panels from Victory 4x4 since I had my Salsa Red 200 Series and it was time to put them to use. I also ordered the attic shelf which was the same one I had on my old 200. Installing everything was pretty straightforward, but very time consuming...

    After installing the rear springs, it developed a lean on the left side. I followed Eric Sarjeant's recommendation on lifting the lower side with the valves open, and it worked for about 1 day until it settled back. I also tried the 2x4's under the opposite tire, but it had the same effect...

    You're gonna love it. Removal of the factory one is very easy. Press on the outside parts of the cupholder and give it a good pull. It should come right out.

    Thanks! Its definitely settled some, but I agree. Im leaning towards 34's of some 35x11.5

    Had to stop for a late night Slurpee and with that came the mandatory 7/11 crawler shots.

    A good deal came up on a lightweight rooftop tent, and while I've enjoyed the rack without anything mounted to it, we have a few trips coming up and the tent is nice to have. While we were waiting for the 3" springs to arrive, the front left developed a clunk. We found out that one of the...

    Much better with the rear spring spacers, but still too level for my liking and you could feel the bias towards the rear. I opted for the 3" Dobinsons springs in black since I have some upcoming trips and wanted it dialed in for those. In the meantime, we went out and explored around WNC - it...

    Immediately, I placed an order with @cruiseroutfit for some 15mm spacers to see if this would offer enough lift. I also considered airbags in addition to the spacers for when I am towing the trailer, but figured between the bags and spacers the cost would be close to that of another set of...

    I got myself a monster truck. Well kinda.... It was more of a Carolina squat truck in my eyes as it sat slightly lower in the rear. I figured the spring combo I chose would at most have me level, but the nose felt like it was pointed straight up and it changed the driving characteristics a good...

    The suspension arrived. Once again, it was time to load up the trailer with the wheels and all the other new parts. Shout out to @cruiserpatch for placing the order for me and getting parts out quickly. I got these bump stops for free from a buddy of mine DR. KDSS shorty bracket...

    Found this gem through recommendations on MUD. Taking the OEM cupholder out was a breeze, and the new unit fit perfectly. What's cool about this cupholder insert is that it can fit the wife's Stanley or my Nalgene bottle perfectly. My wallet was made for the front part and the keys fit in the...

    While I waited for more parts to arrive, I knocked out a set of custom center caps for @cosport. They turned out sweet and definitely gave me an idea for what I want to change mine up to in the future. These are the custom caps I am running on the Torque wheels that came off my old 200.

    I pulled the trigger on a few parts and the first to show up was the FrontRunner Slimline II roof rack. I considered different options to switch things up a bit, but I loved the FR on my 100 and 08 200 Series. It was easy to add mounts and configure them for different types of use while...

    I made a trip to see my friend and drop these custom center caps off at Toyota of Easley, which also runs a program called Norris Built - they are the ones who purchased my 08 200. I also got to see my old 200 and they had just finished part of the restoration process. New paint...
