The zerk needle attachment is a game changer. Can access zerks at extreme angles.

The base is ProClip dash mount. Then I got some magnet / pressure grip phone holder. I don’t remember the brand. It was made for motorcycles, and is a super strong magnet.
Tore out my old cargo build, and starting over with a new one. I wanted to be able to ditch my swing outs, and give myself a sleeping platform for one. My wife will no longer be trail camping, so this, and my OVS 270 awning with walls will suit me fine, and eliminates the need for a tent.
Thx for the vid. Just what I needed to see how it works.

np. the first time I was told to "use a grease needle" I went out about a syringe style needle. That has its uses but it isn't this.

Do you guys use the needle for all the zerks or just the one or two hard to get one?

Personal preference thing. It will work for all zerks but, at least for me, it tends to be messier. I only use it whan I can’t get to a zerk. It’s possible to get to every zerk on a 200 without a needle. It’s just easier on the front drive shaft with a needle.
Use them for all zerks.
Started installing my new fog light housings with some Baja designs S1’s retro’d in. Still need to run wiring. Not sure if I’m thrilled with how far out they point but I didn’t want to cut into the reflector portion.

I need some more details. I'll DM you.
Do tell more. How was it to put one of those in there? I've got them in my 80 and would love them for the 200 but figured it to be a big hassle between CANBUS and airbags.
Airbag light is on, yes. Going to work on resistors and see what I can figure out. Overall the Planted seat bracket mounting holes are a 1/4 inch off so you have to slightly modify two of the holes. Other than that it's a simple bolt on application.

Do you have to transfer the seat belt receiver to the Planted frame?
How often (mileage interval, year interval?) are you guys greasing all the zerks? Just bought my 200, 2018 with 23k miles on it
I do mine every oil change.
Is there a DIY with pictures showing where all the zerk fittings are?
Yes there is a dedicated spot for it to bolt up to - does not come with hardware. You'll have to take the factory seat, unbolt the belt receiver, and then unhook/disconnect the small wiring harness that runs under the seat. What your left with is the receiver and a small pigtail with 3 connections - one of those plugs into the vehicle harness - I will take some pictures today once I pull it all back out to permanently mount everything. It's a pretty simple install - the biggest issue I believe is the Airbag system - doesn't bother me tho - now I think it qualifies as a classic car
