What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (38 Viewers)

[Afox]

Hey all, great source of info here thx.
I recently picked up this 09 with 105k mi. Ive driven toyotas since 86 and still have my 04 dbl cab Tundra with 250kmi.
So far on the LC ive put on Cooper stronghold 275/70/17 great so far. I dont really want spacers but think it would look better with one inch more to flush with the fenders. I know Bora does a 1" and I don't mind the stock wheels. I havnt found an 18 inch wheel with around a 35-40mm offset?
Ive also done the oem 1inch coilover spacer .
The cupholder is an upgrade.
The between seat and center console trays are okay, actually pretty useful.
It is a velvety finish , so it holds lint a bit .
The cool box tray is great! And creates a stealthy storage space below for your edc kit..
I wasnt sure about removing running boards, but the ergo was bad. Step over them getting in and out, so I took them off. It looks good. Prob wont get sliders, though I realize the exposer to more rock chips and rocker panel damage.
This week, I'll swap the h11 halogen lows to a Phillips h9 and the 9005 highs to the 9011 buld.
I ordered new Phillips 9006 for the fogs, but I was wondering about switching them to a 9012. Anybody with an 08-11 do this in the fogs?
Requires minor trimming to tabs as with the other bulb swaps.
Any comments or suggestions welcome

Can’t speak to the bhd designs cupholders yet although I do have a set on the way for our 200, but the cruiserDM set I have in my 100 is about as perfect as I could want. Enough room for 2 Nalgene size bottles and fits all other cups we’ve tried while also having a spot for a couple of pens/chapstick etc.

If you like the look without the running boards, you could always wrap your rocker panels in vinyl to keep the paint from getting chipped up. There is a silver vinyl that is a perfect match to mercury metallic (toyota silver), or you can just use the clear PPF stuff. Nice cruiser!

I put WeatherTechs in.

I don't hate them. I'm happy to protect the carpet. I plan to add a dead pedal cover at some point.

They will last forever. I ended up trimming the lip off the rear of the cargo mat. It served no purpose other than to get hung up on heavy items that had to be slid into the back.

I cut out the holes today and installed everything. I chooses from blue/white at the left and black/yellow at the right door the yellow and blue for beeing positive. So far both sides giving nice sound.

@TheComedian - Just a heads up having been in my doors to apply dynamat. That pink looking plastic and black butyl from factory is closed around the entire circumference as otherwise water can make its way in. There is probably enough butyl left there which is pretty sticky to push it all back in place the few places it is lose. Maybe not essential, however could do next time you go in there.

Sold the RTT and went with a new rhino-rack (series 6) and light bar. I have to say, I am extremely impressed with both. The rhino rack pioneer 6 is an amazing upgrade to the older rhino rack in terms of aerodynamics. Minimal wind noise. What really impressed was the DECREASE in wind noise after installing the light bar ahead of the rhino rack. I'm complexly sold on this combo. The ability to wire inside the aluminum extrusion on rhino rack was very clean and the light output on the triple-r is amazing. My roof rack is now easily removable with a single duetsch plug and a few easily accessible nuts.

Just an update: I had to remove the Rhino-rack LED brackets and move back to the a traditional undermount. I was getting terrible vibration at high speeds.

I replaced my factory LC200 HE heated steering wheel with a BLACKHAWK JAPAN Leather/Carbon fiber non- heated wheel. Click: Search: 19 results found for "land cruiser 200 steering wheel" - https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/search?q=land+cruiser+200+steering+wheel&_pos=2&_psq=land+cruiser+steering+wheel&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Perfect fit and exceptional finish. The wheel is manufactured by REAL and sold out of Japan. Not from China.

Lastly, added a new shift knob from Chi-na.

Front and center diff oil change.....Mobillube HD 80w90

I wanted a better driving experience. This is obviously to high. Kinda cool tho. I’m looking to bring the oem knob about 2-3” higher than it is normally.

Ran power to the carport so I could put the LX battery on a tender during long breaks from driving.

How does that make for a better driving experience?

 

[PDoyle]

Having the shift sit higher seems to me at least to level out how you sit while holding the shift as you drive. It just feels better to me.

I have incredible news: Toyota and Lexus pushed out an over-the-air update this morning - part of their pre-Christmas give-away - which auto-installed on all 200-series to upgrade them to automatic transmissions.

I kid, I kid. Whatever works for ya!

 

[PDoyle]

Use "sport mode" or the "manual shift" option, allowing the driver to manually select gears for a more "engaging driving experience"

 

[Supra Turbo]

Drove it.

Isn't it obvious??????

 

[PDoyle]

The manual shift still rules!
