Dropped off the cruiser for some upgrades that I wanted a professional to install.

LRA 12.5gal Aux Tank

2.5 Kings custom tuned by Filthy Motorsports (will have zero additional lift; maintaining OEM springs)
SPC UCAs

SDHQ Hidden Winch Mount
Warn Zeon 12S
Factor 55 Ultrahook

ARB Dual Compressor

Extended diff breathers
Slee billet battery terminals

Had discussed installing my redarc system, but I may have gotten the wrong one and need to wait until I get my Trekboxx Alpha system.

Awesome haul, you've got to be pumped. I'm waiting on my custom 2.5's from Ben and cannot wait!
Yup! Very excited. Going for a stealth setup that has a plush ride on highway as this is our family vehicle that I will take out several times a year for trips.

The 12.5gal aux will really help my range anxiety - not that there aren't gas stations around, I just like knowing I can get 350+ miles of range vice having to stop at 250

I have a similar setup with a lot of the same equipment, however went with etc Bilstein shocks and springs at the near lowest high settings.

How's the ride? You happy?

I went with kings partly because of the aftermarket support and rebuildability. Plus, the near 100k lifespan for my use case.
 
How easy was the electrical connection to parking lights? Any pics of the install?

did a suspension refresh.

Took out the trusty old OME shocks and Dobinson’s springs and installed Dobinson’s LMS shocks, new springs, new bump stops, Dobinson’s aluminum UCAs, LCA skids with KDSS relocated, and a new panhard bracket.

Truck handles the additional weight much better and doesn’t feel quite as spongey as it did.

Personally worked on my Cruiser for the first time today, now that the warranty's out. Either wrenching on the 200 is more difficult than I remember my 100 series being, or I'm a lot dumber than I was 10 years ago (or both, lol), because It took me half the day to not do anything major, just rear brake pads, oil change, Fumoto valve and the aluminum filter housing mod. I think the dealer techs have been going by ugga-duggas instead of a torque wrench, because the old plastic housing was screwed in even tighter than the caliper bolts. I am not a weak man by any means, but I ended up having to pull out the 24" breaker to get it open. Other than that silliness it was all an uneventful experience. I already had 0W20 on hand so I didn't end up converting to the church of 30-weight today, but next time!

I love it all around
 
Feel like the RWs are just impossible to find these days. Nice work.
Agreed the Rock Warriors are almost impossible to find! They would have been my first choice but ended up with the forged TRD in 18".

There are quite a few sets out there.. my issue is majority are pretty beat up (stuck or broken bolts, fading clear coat, scratches and dings, missing or faded caps) particularly for the asking prices.

A proper refurbish with a wheel shop can easily add $750-1000 to the cost of the wheels and that is if they are able to perfectly match original finish plus the cost of original good condition caps.

At that point, a set of BBS's could be had for about the same price. A wheel that is much newer, likely all original (not refinished) and much easier and cheaper to get OEM new centercaps for.
