Just over 200K now. It turned 200K on the drive back from Bozeman when I bought it in Nov last year.

Been burning the midnight oil getting X2 ready for Cruise Moab. Hope your coming along!! To summarize the work that has been going on.
Put in 3 new batteries, did the TorFab dual battery install with NorthStar X2 Grp 34/78 Batteries. Then put in a Slee Offroad Dual battery tray w/ compressor mount and a 3rd NorthStar X2 Grp 34/78 battery. Re-positioned the sPod and National Luna Intelligent Solenoid that manages the Start and Winch batteries.
New Kenwood DDX593 Stereo, RAM floor mounted iPad holder, repositioned the SCAN gauge, installed the Yaesu 8800FTR Ham radio and Cobra CB Radio. Finished the install of the Adventure Trailers Fridge/Stove slide with a National Luna 60L Weekender Dual Zone fridge. Added a Trailer to the mix that will hold the Ezi Awn Global Drifter Trailer Tent. Will try to get some pics up here in the next few days, but still have lots to do before the adventure begins.

I'm going to sell my Foxwing Eco 2.1 if anyone is interested. Will be posting it in the classifieds later today and on Expo Portal. I have 3 walls for it, and they double as roof extensions and I have extra poles, Front Runner Mounts and it is in excellent condition. Used less than 5 times.
PM me with details and questions, I don't want to clutter up this thread, as the post will be in the classifieds.

I love the NorthStar X2 Batteries, 880 cranking amps each, I am running 3 of them. I was able to start the X2 in Teton Village 3 weeks ago first time when it was -24 degrees. Pics coming

How long did it take you to change the steering rack on that thing? I just got mine out last night. How could you tell you needed a new intermediate shaft?

We changed the steering rack in about 5 hours, but we had a professional shop to work in during off hours. So having an overhead rack and a good friend who is a certified senior Toyota mechanic to lead the project was a huge help. The Intermediate shaft had play at the connection and once you removed the boot, you could see wear on the bushing and see the play. Helped a lot changing that out.
Lucky you. Thank you!

Yes, it was a blessing indeed. I hope yours goes smoothly.

Wow! What sizes are you running in each location? Did you fab up the third battery bracket yourself to allow for the air compressor?

The Bracket is a Slee 2nd Battery Mount and is designed to hold either the Med or Heavy Duty ARB Compressor. It is awesome. All 3 Northstar Batteries are Part# SLI34-78AGMDP, CCA is 880, RC is 133, Group# is 34/78
Hi,
We broke off the return line on the rack. I believe it is a 10mm line. Did you have any issues like that? I'm trying to locate a new line and bend it but the local Napa doesn't carry metric only a 3/8 line and Toyota wants $355 for the kit (Power Steering Pump & Cooler Lines - Part#: 44410-60510).
Any ideas?
Thank you again!

Sorry to hear that, we didn't have any issues like that. We had to unbolt the engine mounts and raise the engine up a couple inches to get the rack swapped.
Any pics of bumper light inserts? I've considered them for mine.
