What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (16 Viewers)

[Markuson]

Thanks for the picture, this is extremely helpful for me!
Btw, where do you have the PTT for the Ham stay?

My PTT is near the Start/Ignition.

I bought an extension for the control screen and for the antenna...& that lets me keep it in the right/rear under fit kit of my ARB drawers. Not the storage space, but the normally-unusable spot over the wheel well hump. Then I run a speaker to the other side... Works very well since there really is no need for constant access to the main unit.

Here:

There really isn’t any other use for this small space...so I’m very happy with this spot. If I want to access it for whatever reason, the entire piece comes out...radio attached...with 4 quick hex screws.

Just applied WoolWax to the belly of my Cruiser this afternoon.

It may seem kinda early in the season (technically still summer), but the forecast is predicting 3-5 inches of snow on Tuesday! Plus, last year it started snowing in mid-October and did not stop until January. And I'd rather crawl around under the truck when it's 90 degrees as opposed to 30 degrees.

I used the spray cans. It goes on just like Fluid Film in the can does, with no real difference except the lack of stink. The clip-on spray handle comes in extremely handy, because the cans get too slick to keep a grip on them. It took 6 cans to do a great job, whereas an "adequate" job would have taken 3-4 cans.

Just picked up lx570 .... I’m broke now but just had it tinted 3m crystalline and did a deep clean of the interior.... once I have more clarity with the world will work on Maintenance and Get some wheels/tires... overall I love lx570.... although it loves gas!

 

[Ratchey]

Think I need a new bumper... and a few other things...

3 weeks later - New bumper cover, new fender a lot of buffing and some new paint and she is ready to roll again.
I had some big stone chips on the hood that had horrible repairs that were there when I bought it The shop went ahead and repainted the whole hood for me at no charge. Looks better than when I bought it.

Many thanks! Looks like I’m going to either copy this exactly or pretty darn close. Thanks TON!

I did the AHC sensor lift, installed the Ironman bull bar; still need to fine tune both a little but pleased with the results so far. Took a test drive up some local backroads.

that bumper looks great!

 

[Bullgump]

Did the White Rim Trail...100 miles...to include Lathrop canyon in 10 hours. What a blast. Started in daylight ended at night. Tight turns on narrow cliffs. Extra fuel a must and water. Awesome run and thank goodness i had all the extra lights. I used them all.

More from the day

 

[Mundiboy]

I have recently retired and now have time to do all those service jobs I used to have done by the dealer.
On my LC 200 4.5l diesel (approx 285,000km) I have just changed the Diff and Transfer case oils. Next task is the transmission oil. Big job for me but thanks to www.project200.com.au video guides it is very manageable.
I have also bought a reversing camera but struggling with accessing power offtakes

 

[Bullgump]

A little night driving up/down mountain always gets the blood pumping.

 

[Simpleman]

Bought a fifth matching wheel/tire (285/70/17 on ICON Six-Speed) and put it into a 5-tire rotation.

Also, spent about 3 hours putting a Loncky leather cover on my steering wheel. Painful, but turned out great. Hated the thin, slippery feeling of the OEM steering wheel.

Testing bds tundra lift.

Looks worst than it is. Wife liked this picture she took better. She just caught it at the right moment as I was pushing my covid hair up.

LOL.....That would be me just reading the instructions even before I started to rip into the dash.

Agree with Sinister. I'd be going to the forehead a lot on that project.

The directions that come with the unit are not that great. With a little preparation from looking at other installs on Mud can make it a lot easier.

Ran Schofield Pass in CO with a 120, 100, 80 and mini-truck.

Awesome! You work quick and make this stuff look easy. Way to innovate.

Rear axle next?
