Builds Kordsman's Land Cruiser 200 Build Thread - TRD Pro Wheels & Random Dealership Goodies

Trail Tailor has some nice equipment on their website. I need to get some sliders. How do you like them? The factory running board does not go with the style, nor can they take a beating.

Jealous of your headlights. I'm wanting to get some of the newer headlights to swap out.

The pros of the Prinsu rack for my situation are that is supports a heavier load with easier stability. I'll never really put anything extremely heavy on top, but the idea of adding a collapsible roof top tent is a nice pipe dream that may never happen. I did strap down a mattress and box springs yesterday haha and it looked like a monstrosity. I also like the aesthetics of the Prinsu rack. It's much more aggressive and larger than the factory, but only sits about 1" taller from the roofline. Someone added 2 extra cross bars to the factory roof rack on theirs and it actually looked pretty cool.

The only issue I had was the vibration due to weather stripping needing to be added on the bottom of the front wind shield. Some people have commented that they think the rack is too big; I've simply told them their rack is just too small lol. Most people think it's badass and unique. Some mounting hardware is needed for the top rails (which they offer online; simply have not ordered it yet), because the Prinsu rack is so low profile that it is difficult to find tie down points.

Your system is going to be much more aerodynamic. The Prinsu rack mounts to 8 total points. I believe the factory one only mounted to 3 that I could see, unless the other 2 mounting plates were just hidden. I'll have to double check that.

Oh ya, the sliders. I was a test pilot for the sliders. They are very well made and PC'd them black. Sliders are getting scratches from loading gear in cargo box but that to be expected. I didn't ask TT for any options on the sliders. I like the new design I saw on mud. I'll post some pics when I find them or take new ones. Talk to Jason @ TT. He is a good man.

@TonyP has the new pitched full tread sliders. He has a video somewhere performing a pivot around a boulder. He has beat the crap out of the sliders and his rig with the gear I built him. I'd say that 90+% of owners will never put there rigs through what he has. Yes, they have deep gashes and some dents in the DOM rub rails, but from our inspection a few days back, the sliders have never touched the body anywhere. If they have a mark wasn't left.

Thanks to Yossarian for providing all of the information regarding the weather stripping he used to eliminate the drag and droning vibration/noise caused from the front wind shield being close to 3/4" above the roof.

STA/75001612 Coil.

I looked up the edging and it's listed as "Bulb Seal #1612" (I think). It looks to be what I have, and I got 4' of it, but as you can see from the pics on Mud I didn't fit it the whole length of the fairing. If I recall the edging didn't want to make that sharp of a bend at the ends.

FYI.

Just like in the Prinsu installed forum, it was suggested to use some form of paint protection under the rubber strip, and I can now second that. In just a few short months a line was worn into the paint, luckily I was able to buff most of it out.

I sourced some 3M material like in the thread and that should be all that's needed. I didn't take a before pic, but here is the 3M installed."

Parked next to my finance manager’s Jeep that was built for the SEMA Show 2015-2016 that has over $70,000 of PARTS ALONE (not including labor) on top of the Jeep cost itself.

The perfect fix. No noise, droning vibration, nothing at all. Thanks a ton for the advice!

What is the offset on those Tundra rims? That wheel tire combo looks great.
