What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (47 Viewers)

[Heckraiser]

I still have some parts for old 60 series that I haven't owned in years because I think it might be useful to someone. But I still can't even give the parts away locally and I'm too busy to ship anything. I just pile them up in the garage and curse at them. I move more frequently than most people and some of these parts have come with me on 2+ moves

perfect spare parts for road/wheeling trips. it's just the way it is as our vehicles get older, at least to me. when I swapped a new engine into my old rx7, i had every reasonable spare part in the trunk for a good amount of time until i felt confident i could leave it at home.

Paint touch up. Got nailed by a thrown chain from a plow last weekend, took out all the way to the steel. Since I got into it decided to go ahead and do all the rock chips on the front. I’m super carful so just shows how bad the roads are here in Alaska. People that aren’t careful front end can look like it’s been sandblasted. Just finished coat 7 on the big one took 5-7 to fill in the rock chips on the front. Now wait 2-3 days and I’ll wet sand down the excess.

With gas prices the way they currently are I added this Prius Hybrid sticker to the back. Figure its good for an extra couple 1-2 mpg's

Took a while to strip and paint with the cooler weather but finally got the full BB skids installed! I’ll have to do the fuel tank next week.

Got new tires installed... tried my damndest to retain the front mudflaps but it's not looking likely even after a LOT of heat molding.

Fine looking rig you've put together there! My opinion and I might be biased, but I think the big bootied 200-series wear's 20" wheels well. And when paired with big diameter tires....nice!

If you're looking for more ideas on how to keep the mud flaps, check out this post. It took some work, and it may require work behind the flaps, but I was able to keep them with my 35x12.5s

Fitting Full Fat 35x12.5 on an LX

Join along as I work through making the necessary clearance mods for 35x12.5R20s tires on my LX. These Toyo AT3s spec out to be 34.5" x 12.5". If you have any suggestions, I'm interested in hearing. Note that this fitment is specific to the LX as it's easier to fit larger and wider tires...

Awesome thank you, I followed your 33.2" front mudflap mod to see if I could make it work and even with the half moon cut and behind the step I couldn't get there. I'll check this out though, thanks!

Deleted the 3rd row seats. Got the trim brackets with D rings from that guy in Australia and used the OEM HE 5 passenger cargo mat to cover up all the holes. I need to get some foam to fill them in, maybe cut up a gym mat...

Can you provide more information on where to source the D-ring trim brackets?

I got them from Scott Kerr, info@s3dp.com.au. Koan also makes a set but they were out of stock for a few months

I'm not given an option to check out? Kinda odd

I ordered some parts last night and it was a cumbersome process. Added my vehicle VIN but search was worthless. Had to validate each part against year make model. Anyway, I was able to checkout and get the free shipping. Huge savings. Maybe site got overwhelmed.

@jivewalker Curious - How many miles you got on the rotors and pads?

@jivewalker Curious - How many miles you got on the rotors and pads?

Im assuming the rotors are stock, so 36k. I bought the rig with 29k on it. The pads squeal and dust really bad, so I assume the selling dealer just slapped the cheaper toyota service pads on it. Because of that, I want to replace the rotors and put OEM pads on it and reset to my maintenance standards. I have been very happy using the OEM pads on my 4runner, which is at around 238k and on its 3rd set of OEM pads.

I hinted to this a few months back. Took 2 months just for the lights to show up from BD and of course they showed up the week my son was born. Finally had some time to get in the garage and start working on this. Bought a spare set of rear fog light housings to play with. Pretty much decimated the rear of the housing to fit the light housings while keeping all attachment points in tact. I’m still undecided if I want to leave the lens red, paint them to match or maybe black or just tint them. Regardless I will be leaving the red reflector portion to the side red.
