What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (17 Viewers)

Engine bay cleaned.

Rear entertainment screens deleted. Have zero use for these and they rattle over rough roads. The Trekboxx filler panels were very straightforward to install.

Will be listing the display screens for sale if anyone is looking for replacements.

Put some thread locker on the screws. Mine kept backing out.

Remounted my Bush Co XT max awning with modified roof rack, brackets that I fabricated to match the angled profile of my Dissent roof rack. This allowed me to bring the awning, more outboard and lower. Super sturdy instead of an angle bracket just screwed down to the load bars on the rack. It’s tied into the side of the roof rack as well as the load bar.

After:

Learned some SolidWorks and found some locals with CNC laser and plasma cutting capabilities that are reasonably priced in the process.

This is super cool. The sense of self pride seeing something come together that your designed, had fabricated, and installed is second to none.

Seeing it work is even better too!

I can only imagine the sense of pride the people who designed and built the Golden Gate Bridge, the Mackinaw Bridge, etc felt after it was built.

Does this thing render your reverse camera useless? I've always considered this, but don't want to have to creatively solve issues. TIA.

Here's a pic of what im seeing. Not the end of the world, not phenomenal.

That looks more useable than I would have expected.

Its certainly not bad. Its more so mentally being aware of the tire having the overhang it does.

Does anyone have any experience with teq customs? Im looking for a different way to upgrade the stock halogen headlights on my 09 200 tlc. Ive already swapped the halogen bulbs to h9 in the lows and 9011 in the highs.
Ive already burned through a cpl 9011s..
Any input and suggestions is appreciated.
