Love seeing those 10th Mountain Division plates...I have them on mine too!
I have this same shifter, where did you find the “Land Cruiser” center piece? I had to trim down a patch to fit into mine but I now see he’s selling some options for that but I prefer how finished yours looks.Silly little mod, but I've never loved the minivan feeling shifter knob in the 200. I ordered one of these from Tinkerer. Great quality product. Maybe not the best match to the interior style of the 200, but I like it for now. I will say the heavy cast aluminum piece was cold the other day when it was -12 out. Maybe that's why Toyota makes them of plastic and leather. I wonder what it's like in the summer months.

Hey @Artie, planning your next trip yet?I have this same shifter, where did you find the “Land Cruiser” center piece? I had to trim down a patch to fit into mine but I now see he’s selling some options for that but I prefer how finished yours looks.
As a matter of fact, we are planning and prepping now. We held a board meeting with the kids with Idaho, Utah, and Colorado as destinations and consensus is splitting time between Utah and Colorado. Our time window was early in the summer like last year and seeing as how we encountered snow in Wyoming then anybody Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana trips will be taking place near the end of summer.Hey @Artie, planning your next trip yet?
Kai sent me that center piece prototype to try out. It's held in place with Velro like the patches. I had planned to use the Toyota parts patch in the center, but the aluminum piece looks cleaner. He says he plans to make more center cap options in the aluminum so watch is website, should be available soon.
Sounds great. Yeah high mountains around here don't always have access until later in the summer. We're hoping to spend a few days in Canyonlands in a couple of months to get a break from the snow.As a matter of fact, we are planning and prepping now.

Thanks for the info on the shifter, I’ll be watching his site.
How’s your 40 series project going?

I love the Kaon hooks. Mine have been used extensively.I was going to service the transfer case and diffs at home. Called the dealer to get pricing on the fluids Toyota recommends. It was within $50 of what they quoted me for that service so I decided to just have them do it - I was short on time to get it done anyway. Apparently they removed my Slee skids to do the work and forgot to put the factory tow hooks back on. I didn't realize it until I got home. Took me three weeks to finally hear back that they did indeed have them kicking around their shop. In the meantime I pulled the trigger on some Kaon hooks I'd been considering anyway. Never loved the factory hooks. Ordered the Kaon direct from Kaon in Australia and they arrived within a week. Appears to be a quality product.

Great, let me know how that install goes. Not much space at all behind that panel in the back. I was hoping to put my midland radio back there and I probably could have shoe horned it in somewhere, but decided not to mess with it.I just installed the Kaon shelf... really adds a lot of space.. which packing today for a trip is super useful, even if I am just using it for light weight stuff at present.
I also have the large Molle, but am waiting until the Kaymar camera kit arrives since I have to pull the left panel to install it (or at least how I think I am going to do it and see about some other space back there for other bits)..
I'll install the large kaon molle when It goes back together...
I second that opinion on the Kaon hooks. They seem to be overlooked by most folks, however I believe they are the highest quality offering in the market.I was going to service the transfer case and diffs at home.

Welded NutThose hooks are nice.
Question though, do you need to access the nut behind those bolts? Oe is it a welded nut or threaded support it goes in to?
Would be nice if it as simple as removing bolt and replacing with Kaon and then insert the new bolts, no need to deal with a securing nut.
thx
