What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (26 Viewers)

[kcjaz]

4.88s, front and rear air lockers, 24 gal LRA, new OME 2774 rear springs. Relocated my CDL to the OEM rotary locker switch panel and put my compressor switch in its spot. I plan to relo the VSC switch there too as I used its location for the LRA level/pump switch.

Pulled out inner wheel liners and rocker guard/steps for clearancing. Trying to decide what sliders to order.

Cheapo bubble level in the upper console lid for checking level at camp. Double sided tape keeps it in place.

Gotta get them rigs level! Same idea, different location.

Leveling for Car Camping

Polling for good ideas on where everyone measures their car for level when car camping or using an RTT. Currently, I use a phone app and stick it against my Slee Slidersteps for front to back level, and tailgate for side to side level. Wondering if anyone else has a good approach as my...

This week I hacked my bumper up even more.

Looks great! Did you use all of the spacers included in the kit? (2 front 1 rear) Do you have any measurements for the lift you gained? I've seen several people leave off the smaller front spacer and it looks very level just like yours.

@skmaynard1 sorry for the slow reply I missed it originally.
I put in all the spacers 2 front and 1 rear. I actually didn’t read much about it prior to installing. I’m very happy to have put in both front spacers. I don’t like bro lean but rake bothers me as well.
I don’t have before measurements but I can get some post lift measurements. It is considerably taller with the lift and tires. My wife was less than impressed when I had to ask her watch the roof to make sure it cleared the garage door. Haha.

@MWOverlanders loving that wheel / tire combo!

 

[Trail Wagon]

Getting the steps cut out of the rocker panels and cleaning them up. Dropping LX off at the fab shop Saturday at 5eightfab in KY to have some rock sliders built.

I'm loving it so far. Prior I had a set of 0 offset Summit wheels with 33s and it rubbed badly ... this +25 and the 35x10x5 is an awesome combo so far. As soon as I get the sliders built and some skids ordered i'll go out and test them thoroughly.

This is a pair he built for a GX470. I requested the same with bolt on skids for the AHC.

I have the 18" w/+18 offset. Looking at yours makes me wish I opted for the 17" +25. That's a handsome but capable looking rig.

Any more pictures of your truck? What wheel/tire setup is that?

 

[Leelanau]

I removed my factory splash guards in preparation of installing the innovative skid plate system from @turbo8 tomorrow.

Also used @bloc ’s excellent method for greasing driveshafts and got the front and rear driveshafts lubed up with Lucas Red “N” Tacky grease.

Thanks also to @Sac Cerevisiae for his post on greasing prop shafts with the service manual pages.

Installed Owl Expedition ASAP flaps. Great kit. Straight forward installation. No hardware issues.

Nice. Are they universal fitment or already patterned for the 200-series? I've been thinking about some extended flaps as my 35 AT tires need more coverage to keep from throwing rocks at my tin can travel trailer.

 

[CharlieS]

These are specifically for the 200 series, although made for other platforms. Member @Ramathorn15 sells them.

Don't you have big flaps on your hitch? I was going to do something similar. I don't have your ss rockguards either.

I looked into those big hitch flaps and didn't particularly like that solution. I've not done anything so far but the trailer SS rockgaurds are collecting more dents than I like. Ideally, I'd have splash guard extensions to clip on when towing only. So I'm not dragging them when off-roading and to keep a more sleeper appearance.

Just got the HE "wanta be" emblem on this week.

Vintage Style LC Badges on 200s

I snagged one of the OEM badges off eBay to make a front plate, and figured someone else might find the mounting post measurements useful. Download a vector PDF of the template here. I also took a photo of the badge in an attempt to make a vector outline of the logo. I was unsuccessful with...
