Well, had a mishap with one of the o-rings and had to pull the plate. Separately, I hate RTV…so messy. Putting things back together, now.

Good luck. Not sure what you mean by "had to pull the plate".
I got new o rings from the dealer before I started, for the pipe from the pump to the plate. I dont think they are anything special.

Trust me, I get it. We are hiring firefighters that can't pick a "wrench" out of a pile of tools that includes pliers. And our city-run maintenance shops won't admit it but are in crisis mode due to not being able to find techs.
I wish you luck with it.. sadly I think it'll get worse before it gets better.

Technical skills like mechanics, HVAC, machining, plumbing, electrical, welding are all going to see the costs associated skyrocket over the next 30 years. Too much focus on college for everyone, while people shat on tech schools for decades.
There's no gender studies, art history, history, or classics factory hiring people.
People with technical skills and actually good at their jobs, will continue to make money hand over fist.
What makes me nervous is all the private equity firms buying up family plumbing businesses, etc. nothing says customer focused like corporate Wall Street ownership.
That's @NLScooby on the 6-speed video
no doubt one sexy MFer too. I'm talking about the 8 speed video.
Brought it to a trusted friend with an adult garage, a beefier build and a lot more knowledge than me for some undercoating and rust prevention.... left with my bp51's no longer having metal on metal contact on the braided hose, headlights readjusted and having met his amazing new dog.
These trucks are great - networks just as good or better. If you're in the NY/NJ/PA area, and like me cant find a Toyota service department that consistently cares, he's well worth the drive.
Next up - roadtrip to MT next month

Sadly I sit at a desk job fully capable of building a house by my self and can wrench on any vehicle up to the size of a 45’ bus since I don’t want to walk away from guaranteed money.
Hi, could you share a link where you ordered it? thanks
You need to look at AliExpress for the seller Car Decor Club Store. They have them for the most kinds of 200s since they differ all a bit bc of third row n stuff.
Don’t know if the german link will rpute you to the english one https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ev1DjsN

Which wind fairing did you go with? The one available in AUS looks much more interesting than the flimsy poly one we have available here...
Basically DIY as other fairings on the market would have sit on the sunroof glass which is not a good idea.

Spa day. Oil change, front/rear brakes, power steering flush, cabin/engine air filters, rotate/balance wheels, alignment, and installed the OEM front spacer I picked up from a forum member. She's riding nice.
did you get it?
The evolution of my 2021 200. Purchased in 2021 in North Dakota (live in CA). Trip to Ed Martin Toyota in Indiana to add the aux fuel tank. Two trips to Slee in Golden, CO for front/rear bumper, on board air, armor, sliders and tons more. Next up... dual battery, more lights, slide out fridge.
Follow up bost on build.
Tell me more about the GME radio please!
Hands down the best user interface for a handheld anywhere in the world. Works with an app. I bought two radios. One for my 200 and one for my 80, so we can tune to a preset channel and track the rigs on the app when my son and I go "out there". Obviously, it's an Australian brand and they are a bit more regulated than we are here, but in a closed loop it works for my rigs. I've got handhelds, too.
