What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (40 Viewers)

I like it!

My rock warriors are sooo dinged up that I may sand them smooth and do something similar...

Only problem is...I'm pretty rough on my wheels, and I think darker may only show my new scuffs even more... Maybe I'll play around with plastic-dip a bit just for kicks.

I like that look as well - I was thinking of sourcing an extra set of rings just to play around with them!

Got my BP-51s installed. Rides great! Also had the Warn control box relocated so I can still use my front camera. Kurt and @cruiseroutfit did an unbelievable job as usual. The winch control box mount is pretty slick.

Scored an extra set of RW rings on eBay and had them powder coated Argento Metallic.

Nice! I liked the chrome look until about two minutes ago, thanks man. But I'm right in the middle of another project, so more rings is probably not in the cards...

That is slick - where did the front camera end up? I only ask because mine is mounted right there - as I became painfully aware wrenching the above STEDI brackets into place.

 

[Jebbud]

The camera stayed in the stock location. I didn't want to relocate it. @cruiseroutfit has relocated the box on some other builds. But I run dual batteries so it couldn't go under the hood. @cruiseroutfit fabbed up the mount and it is stout! I'm sure Kurt could get into the fabrication more on it. But I am super happy the way it turned out.

Quick wrenching on a Sunday afternoon...

A 13mm socket + 3" extender and 12 bolts later:

Now I just need to decide on 32 or 33" nitto Terra Grapplers!

Looks awesome @Jebbud Do you have a picture of what the screen looks like in front camera mode? Just curious as I'm looking at ARB and TJM and wanted to see how much is obstructed. I know TJM doesn't offer a camera relocation, but I thought there was a camera relocation kit for the ARB bull bars to move the camera between where you have your winch control box now and the license plate. Like the attached picture. Is that only an option for earlier years (08-13) or did you just not opt for the relocation kit?

Took the new to me 2013 LC200 and my family glamping. We are giving our fzj80 a well deserved break from daily duty. It will now be reserved for hard core trail duty only. We will lift the LC200 next year.

@brasskey I didn't want to use the camera relocation kit. I wanted a cleaner look. @cruiseroutfit has done the control box relocation on other builds and we decided to go that route. I am more than impressed with the outcome. Here's a pic

That's an interesting perspective with the camera in the stock location. Here's my view with the relocation kit which I prefer even though my winch control box sits on top of the bumper:

Looks like you are about to drive over the world's biggest bumper and lights...?

 

[NLScooby]

You guys with those front mounted cameras are dang cheaters!

Just kidding - that's an awesome little advantage there and can prevent some costly mistakes. I have to use the old fashion memory trick....Hmm I think there was a dip/rock right about.....BANG......here..... Yep that was it...

Threadjack: What trail are you on @mcgaskins?

 

[vabluefish]

I used McGuires head light restore for my headlights. Wow did that make a difference. I'm hoping the sealant lasts more then a year!
Pictures don't capture how much better they are.

Threadjack: What trail are you on @mcgaskins?

That was coming down the backside of Webster Pass into Montezuma. We ran Red Cone from 285 and then came home I70 via Montezuma. That pic was near the end of the trail before town.

Got washed, clayed, buffed and paint correction to get all scratches and pinstripes out. Completely removed and looks brand new again!

Took it touring all over Wyoming

This is the literal end of the road for the eclipse veiwing yesterday.
