What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (26 Viewers)

After many months got my Rhino bumper dialed with all lights and color matched sensors headlamp cleaners and color matched the plastic parts on the Rhino bumper! Love it

Just got my RLC rear carrier going to powder coat today!

Found a place for extra fasteners and zip ties.

Would love to hear a sound clip

.system is saying i have the wrong extension?

Installed single ARB drawer. Pleased with the drawer. Instructions weren't the best.

It came with enough spacers that I was able to stack an extra 5mm to each mounting point and keep the heavy duty mat in the back. Helps if you get a longer bolt for the front if keeping the mat in, but not required. Did have to trim the rubber mat's lip in two places where the drawer's rails hit it.

I think you'll have to upload to YouTube or similar and then post the link in a reply here and it should work.

Out using her again. Moreton Island QLD

Just tooling around in the minivan. One week in and the wife is still happy with the purchase, so that's a rare treat

 

[mdh384]

Getting ready for a cross country drive and the wife asked that I make something so we can sleep in the car. Came up with these plywood and carpet things to bridge the gap between the drawers and rear seats when folded down. Never mind the fact that she likes to bring along so much stuff that we’re probably not going to be able to use them…

Thanks! definitely will be going under hood. Cheers

Air Down Gear Up SS1 and AluCab fridge slide install! Took a bit longer than expected, but pretty happy with the overall product!

Looks great. So removing carpet is not required to install these huh? Sounds like it is for some of the others. I'd love to do something like this with a 4" drawer on the right side for fridge slide to sit on top of. Mine is an HE though, so no 3rd row mounts visible right now.

That's right, you don't remove the carpet. You do have to trim a small notch out of the carpet near the seat's front floor mount. You also have to trim some plastic webbing in the same area below the carpet at that mount point.

Just installed Super turbo Muffler with Resonator delete. System developed a deeper tone after driving 200 miles in 2 days after this video. No drone at all and like the sound.

Love the "one less sprinter" sticker. Ha!

National Forest muddy and stuck in the 80 yesterday. Shade tree with the family for lunch in the 200 today.

Today some of my parts for the camper box arrived.

I am only undecided which battery I will take. Possibly it will be an AGM battery from Hoppecke (good manufacturer who produce batteries mainly for grid and track applications such as telecommunications or power plants) because a friend who converts electric boats a few weeks ago has received a delivery. But 160Ah will probably be too much of a good thing for the Land Cruiser.

Let's see how the charger from Renogy does. As far as one of the few on the market that combine normal charging from the generator and solar panels in one device.

I am interested in how the Renogy controller works out. Thinking about adding one to our travel trailer connected to the TLC primary battery.

I had some wifi gear leftover from a project. It is starting to get cooler here in Florida and I need to bolt some more stuff to the TLC. I am waiting for some parts to arrive. First I am adding two external antennas to the rear corners of the roof rack and a station to connect the LAN to a nearby access point. I am also considering adding a YAGI antenna ( either fixed or deployable ) on another station to connect to distant public hot spots. Any comments or suggestions?

Curious as I’ve never done something like this, but where do you source WiFi? Is this something like a hotspot?

This would connect to a Wifi that someone provides, like a campground or restaurant. That connection will allow your devices that are connected to a local Wifi router in the vehicle to reach the internet. It can provide a better connection, and it is convenient when you may have several Wifi devices, so you don't have to reconnect each one when you change locations. There are devices sold for RVs that can do that and more, like the Winegard products.

Agreed with all the Gamiviti comments above, I had @nakman do a pair for our 4Runner & 200 (after having one on my 100 series) and love them both!
