What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (18 Viewers)

[NLScooby]

Awesome! How is the ride quality and did you need any additional parts to do the install?

I've only driven it down the block and then left on a business trip! I did hit a speed bump and it seemed to rebound a bit too fast....I'll give it a more honest review after an alignment and a few more miles.
And yes, a lot more parts went it to it as well! I'm one of those "while I'm in there" kinda guys so I did some seals, tie rod ends, brake lines, etc.

I can't wait to pick up my sliders and hit the trails! But dang, she's just screaming for some bigger tires, right?

Hacking away for more clearance with the 295/70/18 Coopers. I didn't go aggressive enough the first time. Heated up the wheel liner and pushed that in too. It was easy to see where I needed to work the plastic, it was all shined up.

Slee KDSS relocation bracket is on the short list.

 

[Markuson]

Added an external fire extinguisher mount on Slee bumper...
-Tucks nicely between the tire and hatch, and you can remove it quickly even without opening the swing-out...

Jumping on the bandwagon.

Saw this mod on a Tacoma at a recent Overland Bound meet...

Versatile setup. Have a couple magnetic mounts for radios/etc as well as a mount for the Garmin Montana when we do Land Ops trips. The iPad stays mounted on the center console. Will see how it works/evolves.

@ethernectar , do you have a link to that ball or the general mount?

This is it: RAM Motorcycle Handlebar Clamp Base with M8 Screws Unpackaged - RAM-B-367U | RAM Mounts

The bolts on our grab handles are 6mm, so you just need to pick up some from your local hardware store. I'm going to go to a bit longer bolt than I originally put in so the mounts work better. Also ordered a couple different RAM mount arms to see what works best. Will be doing a bunch of testing on the Moab Pre-Run starting this weekend.
