Interesting. Was it just the battery? What they charging now a days for their true start batteries? I'm due for one. Was thinking autozone but might just stick to toyota.

Took off the running boards.
That is wrong... and why I do as much as possible myself.

Got my radio and mount, now waiting for install at local shop which is booked out until April.. I can do some stuff with cars but I'm not game to pull the dash out and mess with the electrics of my LX.
Honestly, I had the exact mindset as you. Before the 200, I had 3 80 series and was comfortable taking the dash panels off but was too scared to do it in the 200. After about a Month of the GME Unit sitting at home I just decided to do it myself and I can honestly say its probably just as easy as my old 80 series. Its very easy.

Got to use my:
- Snatch strap
- Hitch receiver recovery point
- Soft Shackle
- ARB front recovery point
"And that, my dear wife, is why you always carry your recovery gear."

Installed the Trekboxx Bravo system.
Yeah, I was stunned the previous owner didn't R&R all 8 plugs considering the mileage. On to the next project, refreshing the suspension. Unfortunately, I broke two rusted bolts off on the rear passenger swaybar mount. Hopefully, I can drill them out. Dobison 2inch upfront with SPC UCA's and no lift or 25mm springs in the rear.

Why not Dobinson's UCAs?
Ability to adjust camber/caster during alignment

The SPC units have far too may moving parts for me - unless - it was a race car and I was checking on it quite frequently. I ordered the aforementioned ones as they are fixed and simple. There are other alignment cams in the system on the OEM parts. Thanks for your opinion.

In addition to the two ELEMENT E50 fire extinguishers I keep within arm's reach of the driver's seat:
I installed two 2.5 lb extinguishers on my Kaon roof shelf:
These Bartact fire extinguisher holders (link here: Fire extinguisher holders on Amazon) made it a 5 minute install - very robust mount, but the extinguishers are easily removed for use.

Those look like cruise missiles directed at you and your passengers’ heads in the event of a front end collision.

Couldn't open the pocket door to the USB/AUX plug. Coin was stuck in between the pocket preventing it from opening. Had to tear apart the lower dash.

Right. Felt like a monster pulling all those parts apartAt least it was a simple fix.
