100% true. And still worth it. :)

Those are DTNVS with L3 filmless white phosphor tubes. Lots of fun driving around out in the desert in the pitch dark. 😁 Few people notice it but the pair of 10 inch light bars on my roof rack are 840 nm Black Oak IR floods for just such shenanigans.

Found some photos of the panhard mount that had cracked. THIS was the source of the super-annoying death wobble I experienced for months. I had my buddy weld up one of Dave's kick ass weld-on reinforcement plates. Note: you can see in the first photo where the crack propagated in the valley...

Don't hit it with a pressure washer and you'll likely get better results! I also sprayed mine on with a cheap HVLP gun. Wiping it on is a total waste of time.

Yeah, most of my recent posts are all out of order. I was just going through my phone photos and realized I haven't updated the all-important "build thread' with critical updates. This thing will never be done.

One of the challenges with the exhaust routing was that I wanted it to stay inside the frame rails which was not the easy route. We had to use an oval section to clear the transfer case and the whole system required transitions and lots of complex bends to clear the rear axle, frame...

I just realized I haven't posted any photos of the exhaust. It's sick. It took 40 hours fabing up a new stainless 3" exhaust system and another 10 fixing a crack discovered in the DS frame at the panhard junction. Unlike pretty much everything else, I happily paid a friend for the work as I...

I have a respectable pile of used springs laying beside the house now. I've gone through multiple sets trying to find a combination that works with the weight of this thing. Ultimately, a set of 6" Slee Heavies got it done.

Mood lighting is a must! Credit goes to Lee at Solve Function for making these bad ass LED interior lights. I added the door courtesy lights to match. "...get in f*ckers; we're doin' 'Merica sh!t.

I wouldn't do it again. The clearcoat only lasted about three months before it started to peel after being hit with a pressure washer. It looked good for those three months though!

Of course I see this the day after I get back from Moab.

This is cool.

What year manual are you parting out?

Which rig has the FTE in it? Who's harness?

If you have one of these tanks on your truck, I highly recommend buying yourself a small inspection mirror and seeing if you have any contact. This is now the second 200 I've seen taken down by a LRA rear tank install. About two years ago another good friend's 2016 200 with the 24 gallon tank...
