Build Leave no bolt on behind build

[9780LC]

Hello,
I thought I'd share my 200 build with you all. I purchased my 2014 LC new in October 2015 for a deal that I could not pass up. Accessory Outfitters in Beaverton, Oregon will be doing most of the work described below. They are a good shop with a lot of Toyota experience. I highly recommend them.

Nice looking. Sell me your 80 to fund your 200 build. Nice looking rigs

 

[Kajun]

Or just post a link to the thread where you detail the install of those sweet mudflaps on the 80.
We're interested in the 200 build, but for those of thus who have an 80...

 

[NLScooby]

This will be one sweet rig! Looking forward to watching......

 

[LCHardriver_02]

A man with a plan! Which makes me ask... what are you going to do with that 80, once you build up the 200?

The 80 will be with me until I die. It has been completely gone through and upgraded at every turn. The process/build took almost 2 years and has only been complete for a little over 1 year. It's the rig I have no problem scratching even though it was repainted.

The 200 is for trails not overgrown with trees or bushes, wider trails (for now) and is my DD.

A real luxury, I know. I am real grateful to have these vehicles.

Is it just me, or does the spare on the 80 look HUGE?

It's almost a 35. I think the picture's angle is enhancing its size......the door is open for a lot of jokes there.

 

[LCHardriver_02]

They are both very nice looking trucks! I am evaluating whether or not to keep my 100. She has been a wonderful vehicle and right now my teenage daughter drives her, but do I REALLY need two large trucks? Not sure...

 

[Willy beamin]

keep the 100.

 

[9780LC]

The ICON lift provided - 3 3/8" front
and 3.25" rear lift. Before settling, the height is measuring 6' 9 1/2" at the highest point on the vehicle (antenna/fin). I'll update this figure after the suspension fully settles.

Toyota factory springs on the left

Sliders installed

On to the electrical upgrades......

 

[9780LC]

Battery upgrades, ARB compressor install, 12v Outlets in the rear being installed

More updates later.

 

[9780LC]

Compressor close ups.

 

[Angelo1]

Great build so far!!! Why did you decide on the Icon setup over the OME BP-51 and what pushed your decision to do a diff drop? I love having the compressor. Comes in handy, even airing my other vechicles.

 

[TonyP]

Is the compressor for air-ups for now? When are you looking at getting lockers? I had the ARB single compressor in my 4Runner, very handy item on the trails.

 

[9780LC]

Has this panel been taken off on MUD yet? Getting aux power to the back in this location is a project.
The shop is doing a great job.

 

[9780LC]

Custom made panel to go in the location where the jack is to
support the (2) blue sea fuse boxes.....key on and non key on power.

Other random shots

IBS is alive.

Just past experience. I have icon on the 80 and like how they have performed. I chose to put the diff drop on because I have heard conflicting information. It can't hurt the performance at all to get it closer back to stock.....can it?
