I recently attended my first King of the Hammers and participated in the Optima Unplugged event which was a 3 day EV or hybrid off road focused extravaganza that included trail rides, camping, music, entertainment and more. Optima asked me to give a presentation each morning before the trail rides focusing on fundamentals and next steps, so I gladly obliged with one condition - that I be allowed into the massive EV only event and camping space with my 200 series! It was a lot of fun to have the Cruiser camped out next to 50+ Rivians, 2 Cybertrucks, and a couple Lightnings, Kias, and Hyundais. Here was my presentation from the first day, and as you may notice one of my key slides about "The 4 'T's of Airing Down" prominently featured a 200 series on the Jumbotron
BA Muffler exhaust?
Beautiful vehicle! I love the OEM wheels in that color. Are you going for a new set of wheels or painting them a different color?View attachment 3564477View attachment 3564478View attachment 3564479
Throwing it back ~3 years ago to “snow” in Alabama. Bout to go under the knife for a new exhaust and a new wheel color.
what are the half 200 tails?
They are the OEM ones and never got a chance to replace them with the clear lens. I only replaced the tails since my OEM burned outwhat are the half 200 tails?
What a fantastic location.A few shots from my camp out earlier this week.View attachment 3571394View attachment 3571395View attachment 3571396
Thanks, feel lucky that it’s only 30 minutes from my home.What a fantastic location.
Is that just a safari snorkel with the head changed out? If so, can you share details of what you did? I prefer that head to the regular safari one.A few shots from my camp out earlier this week.View attachment 3571394View attachment 3571395View attachment 3571396
Yes, is the Snorkel Upgrade pre filter attachment to the safari snorkel. I prefer it as well and does even more for filtering the air.Is that just a safari snorkel with the head changed out? If so, can you share details of what you did? I prefer that head to the regular safari one.
Guess this is my intro post. Found the forum when I started shopping tires (currently thinking either Cooper AT3s like I had on my Tundra, or just going KO2s again) for the '17 a week or two ago, and I'm kinda floored by the amount of data, builds and walk-throughs here. I've been kinda wanting to do some small modifications and stuff
for a while and just never got plans off the ground, but I'm reignited now.
Also looks like I've got an uncommon (or less-loved haha) maroon color, haven't seen many of these so far in the pic threads.

Welcome! That’s brandywine mica and it’s by far my favorite color. What are your plans for using it? Looks like it came with custom wheels.Guess this is my intro post.

Thank you! I like it, and I've seen a few pictures here of a dark green that's also really beautiful. Tough to beat the pearlescent white too.Welcome! That’s brandywine mica and it’s by far my favorite color. What are your plans for using it? Looks like it came with custom wheels.

Thank you for that! They look great too, and I really like the color of your wheels. My only hesitation on the AT3s was the LT designation in my needed size and my assumption they'll be a little stiffer ride, but that feedback from you makes me feel better about it.View attachment 3573246
That maroon looks awesome in the sun. If you’re still on the fence on tires, I’m in love with the cooper at3 xlts. Feel amazing on the highway and I have to strain to hear them. I also like that they’re 5-6 lbs lighter than the ko2s.

I'm going to order up a set tonight, and I'm looking forward to replacing these KO2s which have been great but are definitely getting louder as we approach their end of life.
