Well, looks like they have one on their own website now for 50$ less. Doesnt look as cool but has integrated clips for the E50 already you wouldnt have to jig anything up.

Anyone know off top if the dimensions will work? Im lazy this year.

I think you would spend more time modding the mounts to get them to fit on the seat rails then just getting a couple of qwik fists and bolting them to the MMP for an E50.

Biggest problem with any universal fit seat rail mounts is that the seat rails on 200s aren't at the same height (inner rails are 1-2" higher by memory). You'll notice the other linked mount accounts for the height difference.
 
I had an excellent Toyota/Lexus master mechanic at Earnhardt Lexus install the ARB skid plate kit on my 2020 HE today. This is my forth trip down the mountain to have an ARB Duel compressor, BASERACK, Slimline lightbar and today the skid plate installed there. Well worth the drive to have everything properly installed. PM me If you want his name along with the service writer. Both are Toyota off-road enthusiasts.

Thanks. So its either mess with the rail or mess with the extinguisher mounting clips. Rail looks cooler so it wins of course.

Could always screw a couple velcro straps to the carpet board and not have the clip. I think I might update my install and do this instead. Won't be quite as fast to get it off, but probably still fast enough.

Prob could also just be stick on velcrod to the carpet right at that hump…
 
So yesterday I had some down time on my lunch hour so I went up and saw the guys at PowerTrays since they are somewhat local to me in Colorado. I am going to be adding a SwitchPro 9100 to my build and have always liked their accessory management systems. They currently do not have items that fit the 200 exactly but will have them in the near future. One of their tray designs fit as is and we only had to modify the leg to work with it correctly. They put this info into CAD right away and will be working other tray designs for release soon.

This tray is designed for install of an SP-9100, positive terminal block, and ground block with additional room on the end for another item which I believe is a BlueSea fuse block. I will be using the space on the left hand side for a Renogy solar controller. I plan to keep my primary battery "topped off" and happy. The piece on the fuse box is the leg support before we made modifications to it.:)

Thanks for all the shout outs guys. If you're looking for a slick way to mount the Element E50, I'm a big fan of the Maglite C Cell Brackets. They are compatible with our panel design and depending on how far forward you keep you seat, you could mount it on the backside of the MMP and save the front for other goodies.

The Maglite Brackets seem to hold the E50 more firmly than the mount that comes with the E50....more of a positive "Click" engagement when you push the E50 into the bracket.
 
AHC fluid change. The service itself was a breeze, but crappy cheap hand pump made life a little difficult. Obligatory nasty fluid picture.

Nice! I know there are tons of resources - even a pinned thread here in MUD but is there a single video or blog post or something that explains this clearly to someone who doesn't have a ton of experience beyond simple maintenance? I have this on my plate to figure out in the next month or so.

This thread has a lot of pictures and videos. It really isn’t that difficult. You only need a way to get fluid into the reservoir, a way to catch fluid at the bleeders and a 10mm wrench. (And whatever size socket the reservoir natch takes).

Does this cover allow for the independent movement of the middle ski pass through?
I have a 200, so I am not sure what you're talking about. The center console is totally functional in the rear, and it can lay down completely independently of all the rest.
