What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

View attachment 1853310 View attachment 1853311 Got new 275/70 r18 ko2 installed and a front bumper mocked up! Waiting on some spidertrax wheel spacers and iron man suspension but may have to go a different route due to availability of the pro foam shocks.

Why the spacers are you getting some rubbing? It looks great and the lines on the bumper fit like a glove, nice work check out the tough dog suspension options as an alternative I haven't read a single guy on here running it that had a complaint.

Thanks!
Just want to get the tires out flush with the fenders.
Yeah I may give Jason at trail tailor a call but I'm not sure if the availability is any better. I ordered the iron man on Black Friday and just got an email saying we are looking at the end of February.

I can't say enough great things about Tough Dog suspension. The ride quality is great, firmer than stock but not harsh over bumps which was always my complaint with OME. The fronts also come preassembled with new top hats, so they just bolt right in. They would be worth the wait IMHO.

Dig DEEP!

PS. You don’t know how nasty dirty your truck is til you open it’s bowels...

It’s like a surgeon opening a smoker’s lungs... Nasty stuff in there.

 

[Markuson]

WHAT THE.....???

So I dig down deep to try and see what’s going on with my non-functional Cool Box...Guts splayed everywhere as you see in the photo above....

-I push the engine start button that’s dangling on the floor...push the coolbox button...and BAM!

The dang coolbox is working for the first time in over a year!!

What the heck???

So...I guess I’ll just put it all back together!
So wierd.

I think you need an intervention, my friend

Ya... Probably.
But there are worse addictions than Land Cruisers. Don’t smoke or drink...no drugs.

Just LC-OCD...

Unfortunately, after turning truck off...and on again...cool box doesn’t work this time. So...prob a fluke that it came on. Glad I didn’t put it back together yet...

 

[Markuson]

OK.
Giving up on CoolBox fix.

Just looked though the service manual and counted.

Replacing the FAN (which I have a replacement for)
...includes *****removing right around 120 items*****
to get to it, including screws, clips, parts, hoses, etc. etc. etc.

120 things to remove and put back...jsut to get to a plastic fan in the coolbox.

NUTS.

My thread on front seat pistol holster mounting appears to have been deleted by mods. Can anyone tell me why?

My thread on front seat pistol holster mounting appears to have been deleted by mods. Can anyone tell me why?

I suspect it was due to one particular guy’s boasting he can shoot LEOs fast enough to not care about concealment. Perhaps you were away for that part. That kind of talk tends to poison otherwise useful threads. That guy also appears to be banned. Good riddance... but bummer about thread. I do understand in this case.

 

[TonyP]

I don't know what shooting law enforcement has to do with concealed carry. But I liked an under the steering wheel mount I saw somewhere. I don't know if it would work with a 200 with all the bits behind that plastic.

 

[Mutant]

Its a shame the whole thread had to be deleted because of one person. How about guys post their holster mounts in this thread? Surely this one won't get deleted

 

[Markuson]

Ya, maybe go to the Hunting and Fishing forum here within Myd and try again:

[TonyP]

I think if you keep it 200 specific, you can probably post it up in the 200 Series BS/Chat thread. So it won't get whisked away into one of the lesser viewed forums. I'm sure others here are interested in the subject as well.
