Oh this just got added to the upgrades. The M1101 build is getting all the attention/dollars at the moment but at 6'4" I've always wanted more thigh and shoulder support.

Lol I'm always looking for M1102
Just finished the sand down and repaint of body and frame. Bed is getting liner and then I'm building put an adjustable rack for my RTT.
Had the gauges polished and detailed after years of use and abuse. Amazing where a little work can go such a long way!

I believe there are only 6 stock zerks. 3 per drive shaft. You may have more if you have aftermarket control arms or other mods.
TKO Fabrication sliders bolted up today.
Plugs @ 120k on the LX. Went back in with OEM Denso torqued to 15ft-lb WITHOUT anti-seize. All look good. No issues. Took 90 minutes. Passenger rear side isn’t that bad. Just muscle the cooling lines out of the way. Actually thought DS was more difficult.
After I installed OME BP51 I ordered Sparco Dakar wheels 17x8.5J ET25. Hope to sit well with some new 315/70/17 tires

Gave them a test run today. Was very pleased with minimal wind noise. I had my complete set up with turtleback out today getting it ready for spring. The LFD bars are solid and I would say minimal wind noise above stock crops bars. Speaking of stock cross bars. I have two now I do t need if anyone wants them. Will ship if someone wants to cover shipping or coordinate local pickup denver. Just DM me. Here is a photo in T he box my LFDs came in. Turtleback is ready for spring. Greased Hubs and switched my max coupler to use the 2in drop vs 3/4 rise now that I have my BP51 and new springs this season. Absolutely love how the LC tows with this new suspension.

Purchased a little buddy for my 200 today...... I guess two gas hog SUV's were not enough for my family. Daughter wanted in on the action so what is a dad to do??
Fully built by previous owner with TJM T13, BOR sliders, BOR rear with dual swing outs, Gamiviti Expo rack, and Stage 1 Icons (OME TB’s, SPC UCA’s, Slee diff drop, and 863 rear springs). It’s a little rough around the edges but super tank-like which is why I bought it.
Bought this for my daughters' first ride.
My kid learned to drive in my 200 and she thinks this rig feels familiar and comfortable, wife thinks it is safe, I think it is badass.
Also had an interesting issue with the fuel boiling today after filling it up and driving a bit. Found it quite odd (and dangerous) so started poking around the evap canister and found the vent plugged with what looked like a wasp nest. Cleaned it all out and put it back together. Seems to be better but time will tell.

Cut the hole (scary part) and test fit snorkel. Some tweaking yet to do. Will try to finish today.

Also, as a minor shop add, I picked up 4 of these collapsible containers to hold nuts and bolts and small parts as I work. They are silicon and have a magnetic base. Pretty handy. I used here to hold the plastic clips from the inner fender guard. Just stuck the container on my slider.
I like your style! Great looking rigs. Also, in hot weather or altitude I have found the 100 is a bit susceptible to boiling/vapor lock.

Built a basic platform, wired in the ham radio, swapped springs, and ran wire for a fridge. All the day before leaving for the West.
What springs you put in?

Didn’t realize how long it’s been since I started this project. Finally have matching headlights now.
