What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (33 Viewers)

I believe @Markuson is referring to the location directly in front of the seat, right below the drivers knees.

This is in my 80, but you get the idea:

Got the lift installed this week I was afraid 2" wasn't going to be noticeable. I was wrong. Now I'm just waiting on Bud to build and ship my sliders.View attachment 1952856View attachment 1952857

Sorry I missed it..
Which lift did you go with and how you like it so far?
I've got the same color Cruiser so I like seeing exactly what mine will look like.

Just a couple small things... Blacked the front bumper chrome as well as the rear chrome plate, V8 badge and Toyota emblem... And gave her a bath.

@Markuson so there by your right knee on the side of the center console is what you are suggesting?
I thought about initially doing it by the passenger left knee but that didn't seem like it'd be an easy grab in case of emergency. I tested as if I needed it from the rear of center console and didn't seem too bad
Didn't think about gear and other aspects that you mentioned..

Very similar to what Bryson posted (photo shown with seat pushed all the way back...)

It's a large-fish unit, but in real use as a driver, it's never in my way.
Particularly like the hose, because if a nasty accident happens and my arms are broken or scewed up...I might buy a few precious moments in a nasty cabin fire situation...using the hose to while it's still secured. As I said before--not gonna save your vehicle that way, but might buy those few seconds needed to unlatch your own seatbelt in flames or a passenger. Likely? Nope. But none of the cabin-fire deaths that happen every year are likely either.

Beyond that...the more realistic acvantage is that it is instantly available to me for any fire...immediately after exit, with zero digging, reaching or un-burying. Very effective...and I'm used it twice from this position.

Pull the red pin handle and boom.

@Markuson Is that a bracket meant for 200s? The fire extinguisher I bought in on a plastic brace that has 2 holes for me to use as mounting points

Bracket is intended for front seat bolts. So ya. Intended for this or any other vehicle with seat bolts in the floor.

Older photo... I now have beefier rings. Very stout.

I'm seeing a huge range of brackets. From $9 to $120... would you mind giving suggestions on where I should look
The extinguisher I got is 3#

The chrome delete grill looks great. Paint or wrap?

 

[ethernectar]

Wired up ditch lights yesterday morning. Took almost as much time to get through the firewall grommet as it did for everything else.

Thanks man!
SEM brand bumper paint. All the little chrome pieces pop out or come unscrewed and I just sanded, cleaned and put about 4 coats of paint then reassembled it. The emblems on the back ate plasti-dip, which I'd never used before but was impressed with. If it doesn't last long I'll remove them and use the same SEM paint and will probably do the chrome side moldings eventually as well.

I went with the ironman 4x4 foam cell pro with performance springs so far there has been a noticeable ride change for the worse. Right now I wish I would have gotten comfort springs but I'll be adding several pounds with the sliders and eventually bumpers and a winch.

Other than putting my new cup holder insert in, nothing major to report as far as upgrades. We just went camping and enjoyed our rig.

That looks nicer than any ammo can I’ve seen!
But I’m actually not needing a jerry can to fit inside it.. It just needs to be the same bottom dimensions of a jerry can so it can squeeze in place of if of my three jerry csns in my 3-can basket.

Might need to break down have make a custom size basket made to accommodate larger ammo cans like that one.

Hmmmm... Wheels turning

Thanks @TonyP!

@Markuson , looking for something like this?

In my quest for a "faux-wood free" interior I've already painted all the trim in satin black and have ordered the book leather steering wheel kit to cover that up... And now I'm on the lookout for a TRD shifter knob..
Mind telling me what vehicle it's out of or maybe even where u bought it? Thanks a ton!
