    SOLD  Charlotte, NC: Eeazi-Awn K9 Platform Rack 49"x87"

    I am selling my Eeazi-Awn K9 Platform (only). You can source the mounts specific to your application from a few sources. This rack is in new condition and has never had anything more than an awning mounted to it for a few weeks. I am going a different direction and don't have the space to store...

    For Sale  200 Series front axles (used) for sale - Charlotte, NC

    I have 2 front axles for sale that I removed when I installed my Tundra front end conversion. When removed they had 102K miles and were functioning well. You can use these as replacements for your higher mileage ones or carry one as a spare while you are hitting the trails. I'd prefer to sell...

    Eezi-Awn Manta 270 Awning install

    I have an Eezi-Awn-Awn K9 rack and found a friend of a friend who was selling his Manta 270. The only problem is he didn't have any of the brackets that should have come with the awning and ones that would have attached to the rack. Both sets of brackets were pretty darn expensive so I tabbed...

    200 +933 = 1133..... (Finally towed with the 200)

    After going through some recent (ahem) life changes, I sold my tow vehicle (Dodge Cummins Mega Cab) and finally put the 200 into towing service... This isn't a heavy load - but the 200 performed very well: smooth and confident albeit quite thirsty. I was also impressed with the Redarc...

    Front mudflap mod - looking for pics

    Believe me - I searched. I know I recall seeing someone pull their front mudflaps, make a few slits and bend the section that protrudes into the wheel-well - back so that no longer does. It was a really clean job - not just a sawsall surgery. @Taco2Cruiser - was it you? I just fit some...

    Oil Change with Jowett Performance Filter Housing

    Here's a video I did in December of an super easy (and clean) oil change using the Jowett Performance filter housing and EZ drain valves on both the oil pan and housing. I tried something new in this video by dubbing over the video with narration while in editing....less background noise! I...

    Interior lights come on when walking by

    I've owned my 200 for 4 years now and never noticed this.... I walked past the rig the other night in the dark (at my home) and the interior lights came on....I didn't touch the key fob. First I thought I left a door open - then I though I must have hit the key fob in my pocket....then...

    Alternator bearings - or tensioner?

    Has anyone replaced the bearings on an alternator? About 5 minutes after I was commenting at how much confidence I have in my 200, I pulled up to a mailbox and start hearing a squeaking sound - after a few miles its even worse. It sounds like its coming from the alternator....but I notice...

    "Clicking" sound when slow turning - bearings?

    After my off-roading trip a few weeks ago, I now notice a clicking noise at slow speed while turning (i.e. when parking). My fear is that its the bearings - but I've only got 105K miles on her. Has anyone else experienced this sound? I have lifted the wheel and tried to move it to check...

    Uwharrie outing last weekend

    I finally got to head out to a "local" Off Highway Vehicle area out here called Uwharrie with my Tundra IFS lift and BudBuilt sliders. Its a fun area with several trails that are varying in degree of difficulty. The 200 performed great - and the ATRAC got its fair share of use. There was one...

    For Sale  OME 2722 Springs in box

    I have a set of Old Man Emu 2722 rear springs that were installed on my 200 series for just a few weeks. These springs are non-progressive which would make them perfect for someone who carries a bit of a load such as a full set of drawers or an aftermarket rear bumper. I put them on, ran them...

    Any options for custom front stabilizer links?

    I know a few of us with Tundra IFS lifts and/or KDSS relocation brackets have the same issue where our front stabilizer bar links are being tweaked to a point where the bushings are likely being asked to flex beyond their design parameters (for an extended period of time). Are there any options...

    My BudBuilt Sliders are on!

    I was able to install my new BudBuilt Sliders last weekend. I have spoken to Bud a few times prior to ordering my sliders and, like all who have contacted him, was impressed by his knowledge and genuine likeability. He’s open and friendly and must clearly love what he does. When I placed my...

    Bilstein 6112's coming apart?!

    I installed this suspension roughly 8 weeks ago and may have 1500 miles on it. (I have done no off-roading since). I have "speed humps" in my neighborhood and have flexed the suspension once or twice (mildly) just for fun. It appears the top part has just slid up the shaft of the shock! Has...

    Post your CV shaft angles (after-lift) - looking for #'s

    I have searched and read several posts with anecdotal support to either install or not install a diff-drop. I'm wondering what angles people are actually seeing. For example - would a Tundra 3.5" lift have the same angles as a standard (non-Tundra) 2.5" lift? I used an old iphone with an...

    Sensor Cleaning/Check?

    Good afternoon, Recently my 08 LC has notified me that my parking sensors need to be checked. A few weeks ago a similar message said they needed to be cleaned. Has anyone had this warning and what kind of cleaning/checking is really to be done? The parking sensors look clean - I washed...

    I'm stuck - Tundra IFS install question - Removing axle hub

    I'm in the middle of my Tundra front IFS conversion and need to remove the hub from the axle. I went to a local autoparts store to borrow a puller - but the bolt pattern doesn't match up. For those who have done the conversion - Have you found another way to remove the hub from the axle or...

    Uses of Profanities Scale

    We are all likely familiar with the banana scale used to rate the difficulty of a project. :banana: This is a scale that measures the level of frustration and mental stress that a project has caused - which (in my case) manifests itself via the use of profanities. So I decided to create a...

    Complete Transmission Flush DIY - VIDEO

    I finally pulled together the video I took while completing a complete transmission fluid flush. Most of you know the dealer's service typically consists of draining and refilling the pan only. This only introduces 3-4 clean quarts of fluid in the system. I went through 14 quarts of fluid...
