What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

Is the purpose of that flat panel design to limit points were a car wash or treat branches could get stuck? I like the design. I've looked at that exact roof rack myself.

I think it's for more floorspace and different types of attachment points to secure gear to the rack. I bought it because it fits between the OEM rails and for the full floor versus crossbars. I think there are better options for more functional racks that have a ton of accessories and purpose built attachments (like Frontrunner, Rhino rack, etc.) but I didn't like how those looked on the LC. hope that helps.

What products did you use? Want to do the same to mine.

I’ve been using CarPro products for just about everything car detailing related for a while now and have been happy with it, these are the two leather cleaner/lotion I used today.

I also picked up some Lithium Leather Love that was recommended by another mudder but my seats looked so good I just stuck with what I’ve been using. I do think I should do this more than once every year or so but not daily driving this Cruiser really helps with the overall seat wear. It spends the vast majority of it’s life in the garage so heat cycles and UV are low. The 10k miles it does annually are concentrated in a dozen or so camping trips and outdoorsy related drives.
