I took my 200 to Grand Junction and had @Thecriscokid cut the roof off.

I saw this on the IG. Man you've got some nuts on ya haha. I have been drooling over those setups the past few months but I don't have cojones to cut into my 200 like that just yet haha. Looking forward to hearing your feedback on it after some use.
I'll say, after the 800 miles drive home, it's just as quiet as it was before. That was one worry squashed.
 
Looks like you had to modify the rubber mats with those? Seems like DD could have made the seat jackers a bit shorter 🤔

As @Tex68w said, no modification to the mats necessary with the Seat Jackers:

Since I'm a proud (most of time) owner of a black sheep 200 (2016+ LX), I've no choice but to pollute the most populated thread for a simple question.
Is anyone 2016+ (preferably LX bc of AHC and E Brake) running Slee Skids and mind helping me out for a sec?

I recently bought a set off of @bloc and we installed it without issue.
Me being extremely detail obsessive, and him being ridiculously handy around a vehicle, I do not believe we made any mistakes...
Since then, immediately after install, I started to notice a thunk coming from the area underneath the vehicle.
I am 80-90% sure it is coming from the T-Case cage tapping the rearward main skid. The instructions do not call for it to be removed.
Since I just moved and I'm exhausted, I haven't had time to pull things apart nor do I have the garage cleared out to do it.

Has anyone experienced this issue? I do believe there are some key differences in the updated 8 Spd and driveline that are not captured anywhere on the forum.
Bloc being attentive as he is, noticed the components looked different. Ive yet to measure things to compare with him since I've been swamped.
Slee has no idea what I'm talking about either and says they have never experienced that.

Can anyone advise?
Secondary question is if that is indeed the case, would removing the cage compromise anything if an impact did take place under the T-Case?

Here is a pic of what CBI has done on their ground up 2016+ skid. Notice the awkward catch point at the drop for the Transfer Case.
Looks like they did also ditch the cage.

Thanks in advance to all the forum losers.
When i installed the slee skids i had no issues with anything making contact with the transfer case nor did I have to remove anything except the oem skids.
 
Started radio installation -- Yaesu FTM-400XDR in a 2018 LX570.

The location options for the radio body seem a bit limited (unless you want to go full remote install). I couldn't find many examples of what others had done, so I thought I'd document my attempt to put it on the passenger footwell access panel. It's nicely out of the way, but it remains to be seen if the location is a good idea or not (I think the panel may be okay holding the weight, but that remains to be proven out).

Probably won't get to finish connecting everything until later this week.

I’ve only got a day on it, but it seems to work well. Install was less than a couple hours and pretty straightforward.

I am looking at the Beat Sonic web page and don't see the compatibility for the LC200? Where did you source this and do you have model number?

I’m wondering the same thing. I have the JBL stereo in my 2014 - would love to add CarPlay.
 
I finally stopped with the endless foreplay and FINALLY had my Firestone 4164 airbags installed today.
The ride is improved overall with the perception that the truck has a firmer ride and is less "floatey boatey".
Airlines were placed inside wire loom and the valves mounted on a bracket I made.
I'll probably add adapters to make getting to the valves easier.

Dunno, but it's there and they have it. Send them an email, their customer support is incredible, you'll hear back from them very quickly

I have the same radio. I installed the body in the center console (no chill box, since I have a Heritage Edition) and ran the cable to the control head up through the dash and have it exit through a Gamiviti dash mount. I cut a small access hole in the sidewall of the center console to run the cables out and under the carpet beneath the driver's seat. I also though about mounting it to the panel under the glove box where you have yours, but I was worried about the wires and everything getting kicked by passengers. That being said, I did mount the Yaesu external speaker in that exact spot and it's held up great so far. No issues with the weight, and I'd say it's about equal to the weight of the radio body.
