What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

Managed to bolt up BudBuilt skids before going to work. Just need to finish up tightening all the bolts properly and I'll be ready to bang em up. Thanks @Taco2Cruiser for being patient and answer a bunch of simple questions from an amateur

 

[Sinister]

Got the new BFGs installed. Old ones had 66k and were so loud. New ones are nice and silent again.

New Fox Coilovers this week. They ride smoother than my icons did so far. I’ve ordered new OE lower control arms and replacement spc upper ball joints to try and finally get rid of the creaking at low speed.

I’ll be your huckleberry. Shoot me a PM we will work it out.

Wow. Came home to find three offers via PM just from mentioning it!

So I think it’s sold...but if not, I’ll let ya’ll know.

Rob is a patient, helpful dude for sure...!

First snow of the year is likely coming this week, so I pressured-washed the underneath yesterday. Today I applied some Fluid Film. The truck smells like now, but she's nicely protected.

Had the recall serviced yesterday. Swapped my Eezi-Awn Load Bars for a 71”x1250mm platform on the 40mm feet. The middle two feet are bottomed out, and the front and rear feet are maxed out. There was absolutely no clearance issues with the sharkfin. I will say, if you use a platform any longer than 71”, you’ll have to mix and match components of the 40mm and 65mm feet to make it work.

Is this a K9 rack?

It is the K9.

Just ordered a set of Husky Weatherbeater Floor Liners. They're on a 20% off sale at Home Depot right now if anyone is interested (also for other cars). $86 for the fronts, and $86 for the 2nd row when added to cart. Unfortunately the cargo area liner isn't on sale, but I'm okay with that since the OEM all weather rubber mats are very grippy and don't let things slide around in the back.

Husky Liners Front Floor Liners Fits 13-17 LX570, 13-17 Land Cruiser 13091

Put Nature firmly in its place. The rugged and sporty WeatherBeater Floor Liners perfectly conform to the contours of your ride. The exacting design offers un-beatable carpet protection for whatever nature

Husky Weatherbeater floor liners (20% off at Home Depot^) installed! Definitely worth replacing my beat up OEM all-weather mats.
Here's before and after in the first and second rows:

In the past week or so, I have installed a Redarc BCDC 1225D with SBI12 battery isolator and Odyssey Extreme battery in the Slee second battery tray, ARB dual air compressor and the ARB Linx control system. The only thing I still need to do is install a remote air intake for the compressor because of interference with the fuse box cover and the momentary switch to link the two batteries for jumpstarting the main from the aux battery.

Got this thing installed, unfortunately, I think it only applies to newer 570's.

So far, so good. Can’t eliminate the joystick, but I like having the phone nav app on the main screen. Still playing with it to figure out all it can do.

Got Llumar IRX tint installed. 80% on the windshield and they did whatever to bring it to 20% all around except the back window which is lighter. The tint blocks IR radiation to keep it cooler.

Then I got my new Method wheels with 285/65/18 Goodyear all terrain adventure with kevlar tires delivered and installed. The ride is rough and amplifies any crack on the road, so I am regretting those tires now. My 37” MTRs on my Jeep ride better! Maybe it will soften up after some miles.

Finally after trying to siphon out some fuel, I drove it around in the middle of the night for about 2 hours to burn off gas and get it down to a 1/4 tank so it can get shipped to the new location. FYI a 3’-4’ siphon hose will not reach the tank!

Just bought the same wheels (all black). Did you need hub-centric rings for them? The hub bore size seems to be 0.5 mm larger than the hub itself which leads me to believe no ring is needed.

Where did you find the bore size? I don’t think rings were installed. I ordered from tire rack. I did get new lugnuts.

 

[LXCruza]

It was either printed on the box, or the wheel itself.

What pressure are you running in the tires? Too much air could definitely deteriorate your ride quality...

Nice! Are you satisfied with that next to the seat Ram mount?

Is it possible to stream video on front and back screens? Like a DVD?
That would be SIC.

I thInk 37psi. That is what the tire tech checked off, but I think he was also trying to get me out of there... it took 2.5 hours for them to bolt on 4 tires. They were mounted and balanced by tire rack ahead of time.

Gaijin also recommended 37.

It will be a few weeks until I can check. It’s being shipped to the Caribbean now. I do plan to lower the PSI. It won’t be going over 40 MPH for the rest of its life.

It is nice and stable and easy to install. Still playing around with adjusting the arm for best visibility and not getting in the way of the shift.
