I missed my test appointment today. I've been studying and taking practice tests for the technician license for a few weeks now and I am ready to take it next time they are running near me. I have an '08 200 series I am going to install an ICOM 5100a in. I am thinking a Diamond Hatchback NMO...

im looking at ~29' offshore boats.. can my 2008 200 series tow it? In this range I'm seeing weights around 7400 lbs. the manual says 8500 lbs max. I'm unsure if that number is a "dry" weight number or not, and also how much the trailer weighs. I know LC's aren't MADE for towing, but I also...

Hi guys. I've looked everywhere I can think of for what is called the "Belt Moulding." It's the rubber strips at the base of all four windows that wipes the dew and keeps rain out. One of mine dry rotted and came off. I figured I should probably replace all four. The best price I can find is...

No clue. It's Florida. I wouldn't pay much mind to those. Lol

I liked the look of the ARB bumper!

I read this whole post waiting for the picture you promised us and didn't deliver :(

Isn't MSRP on these like 85 grand new? Hard to believe they'd knock $20k off the price. Either that or I get ripped off a lot. :-D Anyway, I checked the dealer here in Florida I bought my (used - 2008) 200 at, and they have a deal this weekend where they'll pay MSRP (when new) for your trade as...

Nope no rattle at all

Update. I ended up taking the truck to Overbuilt Customs here in Jax and had them pull it all back off. We lost a ton more of the inserts, so we pushed them all in and re-did it with all oversized nutserts. At that point I was really out of options, and they felt it was a solid option. It also...

I checked the cabin air filter. Nothing out of the ordinary. It's too loud and deep of a noise to be just a leaf. I was thinking compressor is just loud? Not sure what would cause that though. The A/C blows ice cold as always.

Here is a video of my loud Air Conditioner. You can hear it speed up toward the end when I turn the fan higher. Any ideas?

Hi guys. I installed a roof rack on my 200 series this past weekend and it's leaking! I tried to take bolts out, I've lost 5 backing plates, and now I have a huge issue on my hands, with a forecast of rain every day for the next week. I live in Jacksonville and I am trying to find some sort of...

Yeah, well I tried that. I loosened one bolt, lost the backing nut out of that one too. Fxxx!! I need to just take this thing somewhere and tell them to fasten it down proper.

Oh man... Well my rack is leaking. My pillars are soaked. I need a solution asap..

Hedd, If you were to say.. Lose some of the backing plates... What would be your next route of fixing it? I do think I want to push all of them in (or pull them out, if you even can?) and fasten them with something like nutserts and rubber washers.
