What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (23 Viewers)

I just got some Radflo reservoirs but have not mounted them yet. Does Icon make a LC200 specific mount or is that a generic mount just bolted to the frame? More pics of the install if you have them please!

Contact brad at icon. He knows my rig well. Sorry can't help as I don't want to guess and be wrong.

Ps messed around with the rebound and compression settings in my icon shocks first time. Wow. They really work. I thought I wouldn't want adjustability but now that I have them and felt the diff, enjoying. Awesome.

By the way, the OME suspension and SPC UCAs are doing great with a little over 1K miles on them. Slee actually called me on Tuesday just to check in and see how it's going. They have VERY impressive customer service and I will certainly take my truck and $ there again!

Better pic of the icon billets new design by them.

I'm having fun on Saturday.

Since I'm meant to change diff fluids in 3k kms I'll just do it now and replace both front axle seals and if the boots are cheap will change those as well. There's either a tear in the ds boot or the seal has let go.

Those are some strong kittens!

This one keeps the 200 from rolling away

All that grime was on both sides of the diff and underside. Looking at it it's impossible the boot tore, a bolt on the opposite side has started leaking and the gasket on the diff has let go all at once. Put everything down ans walked up and down inspecting the whole underside of the cruiser... Turns out it was grease from the propeller shaft that flew off everywhere, what the hey might as well change the diff oils since I'm here. As always the dealers had to overtighten the diff filler plug had to use a rattle gun to get it off and got the plug jammed up nicely in the socket, the hammer gave up before the plug did.

Finally greased the drive shafts. Ordered a 100 watt solar panel and a hardwire kit for my radar detector. Need to get my DieHard 31M battery tested. The battery reads 11.5-12.0 after driving for 20+ miles (it is 13.5-14 while engine is running). May just need a deep charge or the solar panel could take care of that on a nice bright day.

Nothing major this week, but I did drive over 1200 miles this weekend, going to the Appalachian Mountains and back.

Townsend, TN.

It was beautiful this time of the year.

Here is a very poor quality picture I took with my phone. There happened to be another 200 series there, and a 2000 4-Runner.

backside of Gatlinburg. Did some fly fishing there before. Nice and not as many people on that side.

I have done breather relocation on 2007 Tundra. Let me find this DIY link and get back to you.

Thanks for the link. I was wondering about the Tundra forums. I had it on my Tacoma, but was wondering if it was the same for the LC. I got the union and breather for the local dealership. Really have not had much chance to get underneath and take a good look around.

I do remember seeing pictures here of the breathers under the hood but can't find them now.
General consensus: raise front & rear diff breathers also gear and trans breathers, some say to re-pack the bearings but i didn't see any mention of what Toyota recommends after water crossings... re-grease your drive shafts.. Doesn't take too long to grease them all up and should save a potential future headache
