Man, those look good. Would love to get an LX version if possible

I have to have a LX to fit the prototypes. Only with the foglight may not work.
I had to modify the design based on my LC2000 several times.

Wow, that would be great!

I'm going to order some Method 701s on Monday on a BF sale. I'd love to get some of your center caps that will fit on the front - should I send you one of the caps to use as a template when I get the wheels?

@BenCC , these look awesome--not being able to fit a 1l Nalgene (93mm or so diameter) in my stock cup holders has been making me sad for years. . . I'll be PMing you soon!

 

[BenCC]

First batch of cupholders will be shipped tomorrow. I randomly threw in coasters to get feedbacks and comments. Don't be upset if you don't have one in your package.

Yes

Interested in a set for my ‘05 LC if there’s a list to get on. PM’d you as well. Thanks.

 

[LCMoneyPit]

Yes

Great! I just ordered them and will loop back as soon as I have them. I'm also going to get a cupholder from you, so we can coordinate shipping of that at the same time as the caps you make. I love your stuff!

Sounds good. Will try to ship everything in one package.

@BenCC are you making the cup holder without butterfly?

Ready to order but hate that butterfly in both my 100 series

Will do. The cupholder without the butterfly will be M28V2.

How do I order a cupholder?

@BenCC Any interest to move the seat warmer switches to the blank plate by the stereo. Where you've already designed a spot for blue sea switch and a ram mount?

That place is good for one warmer switch, cannot hold both.
What are you going to do with the two square holes?

Let my phones sit there without turning the warmers on. Valuable real-estate, poor decision to put the switch there. There has to be a better spot somewhere.

What’s your day job? Seems like you’re constantly pumping out awesome content.

 

[Nightbrew]

Yes. Tell us more about the mystery that is @BenCC

What’s your day job? Seems like you’re constantly pumping out awesome content.

I research and teach.

As a researcher, I work on variable stiffness robotic links and fingers. It has high load capability in high stiffness mode, has high dexterity in low stiff mode. It was all bio-inspired. It can also be co-robot which allows human operator in its workspace. The meat of the technology is in how you change the stiffness in a controlled timely manner.

As an educator, I teach a couple of engineering courses, like statics, dynamics, thermal dynamics, measurement, etc.
