Became a 200 owner and a 2 cruiser household at the same time! Picked up a 2015 LX to be the wifey's DD yesterday.

It even had the right shoes already!

I always knew we'd love to have a 200 series but I am seriously impressed to far.
 
I've been a bit busy recently with a fair amount of work done. The rear is completely lined now, starting on the 12volt system. Managed to pull a 2/0 cable from the front all along the inner gutter to the rear of the truck. A mission!

Ordered some Factor55 gear

Clean engine bay! Used P21S Total Auto Wash. The best product on market. Sprayed all over, left it for 1 min and hosed it off with garden hose. Dried the larger parts with cloth. The whole process took 5 mins!
I'll need to do mine after hunting season...any prep or areas to avoid (electronics etc.) ?
 
Hey, mind me asking what route you went for the WiFi network? Looking to achieve effectively the same in mine.
I went with the GL.iNET GL-MT300N-V2 Wireless Mini Portable Travel Router .
I have been using one for mobile work to provide a consistent network where ever I roam.
It is a $20 small USB-powered swiss-army-knife of a router, I love them.

I also plan to add mesh-networking so that the TLC and Casita will join networks when they are near.
 
Removed the front mud flaps today to address the rubbing post-spacers but may mount them back and trim as needed after the lift/UCAs are on.

Also installed the Trail Tailor recovery points. Got them 'gutentight' but does anyone have proper torque specs for these bolts?

Maybe in the FSM but one could also use generic values to get a good idea of what "German" is. https://crafter.fastenal.com/static-assets/pdfs/Torque-Tension_Chart_for_Metric_Fasteners.pdf

I'm more of a Mikrotik fan but also use Cradlepoint from time to time. I can use the TLC wifi to my OGT if it's within 60 feet or so.

ARB recommends 88 ft.lbf - it's what I used.

HTH
 
Went back to the old bronze 2016+ wheels. Heritage wheels are for sale in the classifieds. Also installed a 38” split light bar I had laying around and some TRD pro style Grill amber lights. I later lowered the front license plate to clear the light bar. I am terrible at taking pictures of the actual final product 🤦🏽‍♂️
