What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (76 Viewers)

[GoISU]

Damn those are sweet wheels. The gunmetal gray on black REALLY works!

Any idea the load rating on those?

They are load range E tires. They're considered "an aggressive all terrain" tire.

Proud to be American!

I had the lower control arm out to weld alignment can reinforcements and replace the lower ball joint.

I needed to paint the arm, and had a can of paint that looked like the grey Total Chaos used in the shop. I'm not a flashy guy, don't really like colors. Does this cool kinda Bro-rig, or does it look like it belongs?

Thanks to @Lo2aY and his team, the following got done.

Glad you like it. I don't see the cargo lights. Sweet truck!

Nice job on the exit kit. How was the install?

It was straight forward. We may need a few to stock Kurt. Super clean!

I like it and I'd be shocked if anyone who saw it on the truck even noticed it wasn't the OEM color.

A box (several actually) arrived.

Removed the ridiculous rear video screens in my brand new 200. Next step, patch the hole. Anyone want a good deal on a complete unused set.

I was bored waiting for the paint to cure on my Trail Tailor recovery points, so I prettied up my rear:

Made me feel better, anyway ...

I thought about prettying up my rear, but I can't do squats yet...

You should try floating. I tried a float/isolation tank for my back issue on Saturday, wild stuff. Semi-temporary fix, but $50 for an entire day of minimal back, knee, shoulder pain was a deal for me. It helps with a bunch of stuff both physically and mentally. I thought it was hippie bull**** at first but those damn patchouli oil using fools are on to something. Cryo-therapy is still nonsense for me though.

Does sound interesting. But does it regrow damaged nerves?
That's what's taking so long in my case.

Got the RW rings back from powder coating and took the steps off. Getting ready to figure out the rivet nuts for the Slee sliders that are waiting to go on.

We could absolutely help out with that

Had a busy weekend. Remounted the roof rack (prior owner had flipped it upside down to mount a tent) right side up, mounted the traction mats using the Frontrunner tie down rings and ratchet straps since their mounting kit along with the Rotopax mounting kit and several others I want to order have been on backorder forever, replaced the corroded Warn fairlead with a Slee anodized one, mounted my ARB 50 quart fridge with the mounting kit combined with the tie downs Slee sells and ran the ARB wiring loom from the battery to the back drawers. I still have a few things to do before Moab in a couple weeks, but every weekend I'm getting closer

Quick question on fridge clearance, if you dont mind. are you able to open your fridge (enough to see inside) both with the fridge inside the cargo area, and when pulled out (does it hit the hatch)?

I can't open the fridge very far with the drawer in the stowed position, but it's good enough to grab a snack or bottle of water. With the roller top pulled out, I can open it much more, but it does contact the hatch glass. I'm putting a magnet on the lid and tailgate to have it hold the door open when I'm digging around, but if I was going to pull something huge out of there I'd just remove the top which is very easy and simple.

The last push before Cruise Moab...just finished Slee's ARB bumper conversion kit that allows you to run Rigid lights (went with the blacked out midnight edition D series) and ARB LED turn signals. I had temporarily mounted the Rotopax on the rack with tie downs, but I finally received my backordered Front Runner Rotopax permanent mount and used that in combination with the Rotopax locking mount. Also took the time to rewire the ARB Intensity lights with larger gauge wire directly to the new fuse/relay block and tidied up existing wiring. The "little" projects like these take so much longer than you'd expect to dial in just perfect. I probably spent over an hour aiming the new Rigids to get them just right, but it's worth it in the long run.

I think that's great. If you're gonna buy that quality, might as well make sure you're taking full advantage of it!

Hey, Matt, when you are back from CM and I'm back from my 2-week business trip I'd love to get together and see what you have done in person. Maybe we need another Coffee and Cruisers with Keith and the others (even though some of you may have had enough of each other at CM.)

That sounds great. I always show my wife when I finish something and her reply is basically "uhh cool" or "what was wrong with it before?", so it's always nice to chat with people who care
