What nice driving truck!
I’ve been going nuts back and forth to the local dealer and collecting parts that I felt could use a freshening up. Having fun too!
I had it detailed inside and out by a local pro. Did ceramic on glass headlights ( after polishing out haze) and had the paint work 3 stepped and ceramic coated too. It’s not my favorite work so I shelled out for it.
New belt line mouldings for both sides.
Full oil service on both diffs and TC with Mobil 1 75/90 plus a new lower oil pan due to a leaking sealing area and a cross threaded drain plug from some point in its life.
New TPMS sensors in all 5 wheels and BF Goodrich AT T/A KO3 285/65/18. Waaaay better of a look and for the mild driving and minor off road it will go these make the truck feel sure footed and not loud at all. Minor rub at full lock on one mud flap.
While the tires were off I decided to throw new LCA on due to some wear on the bushings and ease of change out. Will continue to find other worn suspension components.

Always appreciate input from the group on all directions of these trucks. I’m not a hardcore 4x4 owner but appreciate the vehicles as a tool in my toolbox of vehicles.

Who did the detailing? Looks fantastic, I am in Pinellas county too and also riding out the storm. Stay safe!
Stay safe. You are brave, I have family that have headed out of the county.

She has been loved but she can handle it. Beautiful to see it slowly coming back to its glory days. On the interior - to revive those seats, go with Leatherique treatment, you will find tons of YT videos. Results are great IMO. A southern land cruiser is a thing of beauty. Congrats!

Young Albanian kid that’s great named Gerant. His business is 355 Auto spa. Belcher and ulmerton area.
What part of the county are you riding this thing out?
I’m next to Mortan Plant in clearwater

I’ll dig into that! Thank you!

I'll have to check him out, not far from me at all. I am just 20 minutes south from Morton, near Seminole mall.
Reach out if you need anything!
 
@Blastservices I’d verify the recirc flap behind the glove box works, really common issue for dealer-serviced 200s. Don’t try to move the door by hand.. ignition on and use the recirc button.

If it’s broken there’s a great fix available from a user here.
Btw you can spot this also pretty easily by (at least in my case) that the 200 doesn’t keep the set temperatures. Mine was always resetting to 24C till I found out that the flap resets the AC when it isn’t able to full cycle itself.

This wasn’t a n issue on y truck. Flap works perfect and already has a new cabin filter installed. AC works as it should.
Thank you though for the tip.
