Thanks, Turned out awesome on my 200, been thinking of getting a set for the 80.

Do you need wheel spacers to run these on the 80?

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.

thanks for this. I had read somewhere the trail tailor skids require self tapping? Looks from your picture like they use exiting holes to mount.

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.

Ha Ha, first trip for me too. These were not designed for Moab 😂

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. 😂

wow. Yeah I like the design of that Kaon, but it's not thick enough for sure.

It was tight. My bro was in his OJ Bronco which is a couple inches wider. He also made it, but it was very snug.

Great time Exploring in Canyonlands this last week.

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...
