What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (17 Viewers)

[STLandcruiser]

Added ”new” badges. These came off a 60 series my buddy stripped down. I know it’s not heritage but looks good to me

I like how more pronounced the LAND CRUISER actually is vs the heritage badge.

I got one for sale if anyone is interested.
For Sale - La Habra, California: Sy-Klone Series 9001r Air Precleaner with 4-inch Inlet Size - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/la-habra-california-sy-klone-series-9001r-air-precleaner-with-4-inch-inlet-size.1325372/

Been considering adding one of these to my snorkel. Any specific reason you are ditching it?

“Leather Honeyed” the leather seats of all of our daily driver/weekend family vehicles for the fall/winter (applied 2x per year).

I’ve sworn by this stuff for decades and it does the job better than anything I’ve tried. A little goes a long way.

Do you use this on your steering wheel too? Mine is super oily and I would like to get something that extracts as much as possible. I know the 2016+ steering wheel leather is crap.

Yes, I use Leather Honey on my steering wheel 2x per year.

In between I periodically Griots Garage 3-in-1, or Chemical Guys 3-in-1 to clean off the grime/grease from my hands. Personally I’ve no issue with the steering wheel cover on my 2020, but perhaps time will tell.

7.4 Quarts of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30
Toyota Oil Filter
Aluminum oil filter housing (swapped the OEM tube/spring/retainer over)
Valvoline Fuel System Treatment
Positive Battery terminal cover
Radiator support cover pins

The engine is much happier running 5w-30 vs. 0w-20. I'd like to get a Toyota 5w-30 oil cap if anyone has a P/N. Hoping this pushes off my timing chain, guides, tensioner, gears for a little bit longer. It was a northern car most of its existence thus far and there are broken bolts, rusted hardware, and surfaces to prove it. But we'll get all of that cleaned up eventually.

Agreed! I started on T6 Rotella 5w-40 on my last oil change and she feels alot much smoother and noticeably quieter.

I was under the impression that a 200 is not full time 4wd (but rather AWD as it runs a 60/40 split with the center diff unlocked) unless you drive everywhere with the center diff locked? Perhaps I need to put this in the stupid questions thread.

That badge came on US market 80-series which were basically the same implementation other than our center diff having a torque bias.

Torque split is not relevant to the full time description since both front and rear receive engine power all the time in the 200s = full time. In most AWD vehicles the rear is just tagging along free-loading until called into use by some electro/mechanical/hydraulic voodoo.

is that the 80 series badge? Looks great

 

[nissenc1337]

Installed new OEM clock spring (84306-0E010) and now my cruise control works every time!

It is! I've had it in my garage for about 6 months and finally installed yesterday.

tempting me to go with it to balance the “v8”

Normally I stick to the 200 picture thread but here was what I worked on today.

Installed the Baja Designs SAE Fog Light kit to my ARB Summit. Direct fit, brackets match right up and took about 1.5 hours total.

Baja Designs next generation Squadron® SAE fog pocket kit for the Toyota Tacoma(’12-22)/4Runner (’10-22) and Tundra (’14-21) is the perfect road-legal

That's all I ever use. My 2008 LC manual calls for 5W-30 oil
