[molanginaeda]

It’s the first year anniversary for my 2013 LC200. I acquired my LC200 in Feb 2019. I have been holding back on upgrades and have acquired some upgrades parts for about a year. This new year, 2020, will the beginning of transformation year.

Till now, the LC200 is basically stock except AT tires upgrade to BFG KO2 275/70R18.

Dec 2019 with AT tires upgrade

Stay tune for more upgrades coming in spring. 2020.

For the last 12 months, LC is my daily driver. I normally commute about 50 miles per day. Aside than maintenance, this rig has treat me well. I took it for some road trips to FL, VA & NY. Probably added 15k to it’s age. Aside I encounter one strange problem (fuel pump controller ecu), it’s been problem free. I like the fact the seat is warm & the steering wheel is warm to hold during those winter chill day. I probably got spoiled now.

This build will be based on overlanding vehicle with mild off-roading need. We love to travel to remote and camp. While mild off-roading needed when travel into the remote area.

I have the following parts waiting for installation.

• Roof rack - Rhino Rack Pioneer
• Drawers - Front Runner
• Suspension - Ironman 4x4
• Wheels/tires - TRD Rock Warrior

I’ve been using a mobile app to keep track of my mod list. It’s call Auto Modlist (not my app, but I do know the app owner).

I followed @cboyd fog light modification. Swap out the h16 halogen bulb with caliraised Tri-color LED h11 foglight bulb. The 10000 lumen do shine the road. I can switch the foglight color from white, amber & white/amber combo.

Since coronacation give me more wrench time, I got the roof rack installed. I’m using Rhino Rack Pioneer platform. Got the optional wind fairing too. It does cut down wind noise on high speed.

Coming along nicely!

I will say that tracking the cost of mods is a bad idea. Ignorance is bliss!

Another great day to add snorkel.

More upgrade in progress. I’m installing a set of Ironman 4x4 foam cell pro 2” suspension kit with SPC UCA.

in additional, I will be replacing the brakes with a set of EBC rotors and brake pad. Switching to SS brake line and Brake fluid will be flush/refreshed.

Order tailgate LED light set from @Brendan . Package got stuck in Australia for months due to covid pandemic. It’s finally arrived yesterday.

The installation instruction is right on. 1.5 hrs and I got light.

This mod is awesome. Order process is smooth and promptly. Installation instruction is spot on.

It’s been more than a month since my white beast undergoes some transformation. It’s back on the road with 2” lift & no KDSS lean. Braking is a huge improvement with EBC brakes upgrade, fresh fluid & SS brake hose.


A few more install & before 200LCDC event. Can’t wait till end of July.

Removed 3rd roll seats and add drawers system.

Would you be willing to share more information about the drawers you used, and share a review of them?

@CharlieS this is the drawer system from Frontrunner outfitters.

Initial observation, it is very well made. I see some potential to use the side wing area. I always love front runner solution, but they don’t have much choice like ARB. I would love a roller top with drawer (use as fridge slide), but it’s not a show stopper.

 

[CharlieS]

It's a great looking system. Hope it treats you well.

Here to kick start the stickers collection. Also prepping a single sleeping platform for my upcoming trip.

The need for more lumen to bright/shine on the road/trail. I opt to install ditch light. Ditch bracket from CBI offroad and LED by Baja Designs.

Did you have to do any trimming on the windshield wiper valence?

@grinchy I have to dremel the plastic and use black RTV silicon to seal. Else, the bracket will press on the plastic.
