Finally got around to mounting my Ironman 8ft awning on my Prinsu with the Ironman quick release brackets. Works great! Awning sits a tiny bit high & out however it allows for full use of the Prinsu grab handles as well as the rock lights. It would be possible to flip the stock Ironman L brackets upside down then drill & custom mount the quick release brackets/awning lower however you will lose function of the grab handles & lights. I don't plan on running my awning all the time so no biggie for me. I used some 1/4 20 carriage bolts to attach the Ironman L brackets to the Prinsu then attached the Ironman quick release brackets to those.

How was the install for this kit. I’ve got slight rubbing on the driver’s side, need to do this as well.

Curious as well. Do you need another alignment or to do anything with the kdss?

Replaced SAIS Pumps, finally. I'd had the P2447 for a while - but this morning she went into limp mode, first time ever! Both pumps throwing codes. Replaced both, had them on the shelf for months - limp mode cannot be ignored

Surprisingly easy! I was really dreading it, but it was easy. 15/20 min? Open kdss valves, remove existing sway bar mounts, install the new TT ones and used a pry bar at the sway bar link to push it forward. On the second side I used a jack against kdss arm to push up, then pry into place.

That’s encouraging, and now I have no excuse to put it off any longer Thanks for the reply!

Acquired my ‘18 URJ200 this weekend.

Installed my Slee sliders yesterday. They’d been in my garage for a year!

 

[Wicked0ne18]

Awning and cargo carrier on. Ready to head out to Colorado. Coincidence, will be there the week of LCDC.

If I am going to get a 2nd car to daily drive, TRD Pro 4 Runner or Tacoma? And why? Keeping my 200, but want something to reduce the miles on her from my commute.

Get something that gets decent gas mileage if it's a commuter only.

Man i picked up a 2001 Ford Ranger. I've learned my lesson on owning 2 cars i want to modify, it gets expensive.

I don't know what MPG the Tacoma gets, but my 200 (in just the 2200 miles I have on it) is averaging 15.6 vs the 17.1 that I averaged over 5 years in my 2016 4Runner Trail Premium. I can only think the TRD Pro would get worse with the higher profile and more off road tires.

Tacoma would be more versatile as a truck alternative to the 200, where the T4R would just be more of the same.

Thank you, this is where I am leaning.

Thank you, this is where I am leaning.

I’ve owned both a T4R and a Tacoma and found the Taco to be more versatile. The Taco (2018) was my vehicle just prior to my LC200.

Got the silver for the 200 and gold for the 80.

You know, for the olympics.

Happy to be of some assistance! BTW, I grew up just a bit north of you, on my grandfather's farm on the SE side of Bellefontaine. My wife grew up in West Liberty. Since Bellefontaine was stuck in the '60s, Springfield was the destination for dining and shopping. The last time I was down that way, the Upper Valley Mall was still fairly new.
