Spent some time underneath with a pressure washer, steam cleaner and fluid film - learned some painful lessons on rust from my last cruiser and hoping to keep the frame clean as long as possible. Also added a front license plate delete.
The 200 is finally lifted. Spent the day with friends installing a Ironman Foam Cell Pro kit to my ‘13. Installation went pretty smooth apart from the fact that we accidentally switched the driver and passenger fronts and had to redo it. 100 miles in and I’ve very happy with the kit. The ride is nice and firm on the road. I can wait to take it off the road in the next couple of weeks. Can’t do a lift without tires so got a set of 285/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers installed on my TRD Pro wheels. I’ll update any rubbing issues once I put more miles on her. In the meantime, enjoy that stance!

A future traumatic brain injury?

You must be a very, very short person...
Perspective. It’s above my eyeline. And I’m ~6’.

Seriously, that mounting location is extremely ill-advised. Not only does it block your vision through the windshield, it could very well interfere with the proper deployment of the air bags in the A pillar - not to mention the head injury potential in a crash.
No kidding. Please relocate to a safer location.
HTH
No kidding. It doesn’t. It’s behind the upper portion of the visor when folded down. And it’s behind the deployment path of the airbag.
It’s bull**** comments like yours that keep folks from participating in forums.

Your life, your choice. If you don't want comments, don't post. If you don't like the comments, don't respond.
Simple, right?
Happy cruising
And don’t expect not to get negative feedback for bogus snark. If you don’t want to be called a bull**** artist, don’t post bull****. Cheers.Your life, your choice. If you don't want comments, don't post. If you don't like the comments, don't respond.

Nothing wrong with someone making a comment on potential safety issue in an accident.
Your picture makes it look like it's in the deployment path and could become a risk. But if your happy. Also @gaijin comment is fair, what if you didn't know about that Airbag risk you would have now or someone else can see that potential risk and see if it's worth it or not.
You know every mod to a vehicle changes the risk profile? Steel bumpers affect handling and crumple zone effectiveness; mud tires and lifts alter handling and braking. Even adding a rack or a RTT alters the CG and rollover profile. I don’t see patronizing “safety” comments on every single mod thread....What I do see is curmudgeonly point scoring. Help yourself to a little of said ointment while you’re at it.
Washed for the first time since COVID started, wife has put under 1000 miles on her in the last 14 months. We had some warm weather today so the bath was much needed. Guess I need an oil change when we start driving it again normally.... Eventually I think the wife will go back to her office...... She loves the battle tank in Atlanta traffic...
FM Transmitter?

Which swingout hitch is that?
Using a Yakima Backswing adapter with a few mods to get it tucked tight and close to the bumper. Will do a write-up once I figure a few things out.

Attached a Pelican 1750 case to the top of the 200 to hold some recovery gear.
