What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (22 Viewers)

[04UZJ100]

All aluminum, 60 lbs.

I might offer them with stainless skids which will be more expensive and weigh 120lbs.

Threaded holes in the sub frame have stainless keyserts.

Front cat guards are optional.

Is the Cat guard plate able to be installed by itself? There is a market for cat protection that I believe only Bud has offerings for so far.

 

[NoClue]

Love me some interior mods.

BH3D printing cup holders
tinker design studio ranger shift knob
Escape gear covers
Amazon seat gap fillers

What skids are those and how much are they?

This is my own design.

After the 5 other Mud members, who have already signed up, verify fitment, then the price will be determined.

Price will definitely be competitive with what's out there.

Thanks. Let me know if you need a 6th. 2011 LC.

Technically you could just use the transmission skid section and cat guards, but I'm making these parts as a hobby, so it is hard for me to justify splitting things up at this time.

The bud built ones cover all four cats, at this time mine only cover the front 2. I don't think the BB ones work with their skid systems though.

I've got a Bendpak hd7w 4 post lift, then a Handy motorcycle lift that's inset into the floor so I can still park a car over it. I just remove the wheel chock

Floor tiles are the snap together plastic ones, but I wouldn't get them again. They're not solid, they're perforated. Which is great during the winter since they're not slippery, but it makes them impossible to clean. I'd have to remove them completely to power wash them, then sweep up the garage floor, then put them back down again. If I had to do it again I'd get the solid plastic tiles, that way I could keep them clean

Nice Corrado! Don’t see many these days and wish I never sold mine. I know it’s not 200 talk but had to give credit.

Got LeToya on the lift for a much needed cleaning. The autoskills center on post charges $25 a half hour for the lift and high-temp pressure washer. It took my 2.5 hours to get every nook and pocket cleaned but they only charged me for an hour which was much appreciated. Money well spent IMHO. I plan on doing this after every major trip or at least every 3 months going forward. She really needed the wash.

Is that a water tank in the OEM spare tire location?

I actually ended up selling it last summer on BaT. Was disappointed at what it brought, it was OEM+ with the recaro interior, mechanically perfect. Especially when one just sold on BaT for almost 50% more than mine did. Oh well. The guy who bought mine is actually looking to sell it...

@turbo8 I would love a set of your skids with full (all 4) cat coverage! Does your subframe require any drilling into the frame or crossmembers to mount?

It is all bolt on.

In hindsight I wish I had kept them as water tanks, but they have 5 gallons of fuel in there each. I couldn't get a long range America tank shipped to Europe so I ordered a pair of those tanks.

 

[CruiserEd2011]

Pulled off fender flares for in depth cleaning...now thinking about leaving them off for good. I like the way it looks with my new K02s. Just not sure how the door piece will come off. Looks like tape only, so not sure what paint damage is possible.

Installed front and rear bumpers this week. Ready for adventure.

You can’t have those bumper cuts so flush. They move around a bunch and you’ll start breaking clips. You need like 1/2” gap and then you can fill it with some bulb trim.

@turbo8 v v nice, and @JetSurfer please don’t ever post pics again. Lol

 

[turbo8]

I got the last part in for the transmission area.

I'm not too happy with the appearance of the transmission skid. I think they used brushed aluminum. It sounds like the shop is going to remake them though.

 

[turbo8]

14.875" of ground clearance, then around 15.25 at the transmission crossmember. With my supporting mods.

Started installing my new Dissent rear bumper.
