What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (39 Viewers)

Thanks!

As @dudemancool1904 said.. it's the Universal mount, 3" diameter. It's a halon extinguisher (probably only sold for aviation use now) as they are environmentally unfriendly other than the best solution to put out fire. Many less ozone depleting options now as he said. First reason for an ext. is to aid you escape from a burning vehicle, secound is to aid someone else with say a brake fire. They are not to open the hood and fire your own fire, you risk a flare burn and probably couldn't put it out anyways. Halon works by displacing oxygen and cooling the fire, it leaves zero mess after. Typical dry powder extinguishers work by cooling fire, they do not completely smother and the leave a corrosive mess afterwards that will total your car worse than the fire.

I picked up another set of rock warrior wheels locally and I think I’m going to get these powdered coated so I pulled the rock rings off. This was no easy feat as they were corroded and the bolts wanted no part of coming out. So a little heat and away we went. Still managed to break 4 T30 bits in the process but I’m ok with that since I was able to get all the bolts out in the end.

Just looking for some thoughts…. I’m leaning towards gold or copper ish color for the wheels to go with my Blue Onyx paint…. Any thoughts or ideas?

Take care powder coating forged wheels

Steel blue might be interesting with blue paint

That’s a decent packaging job. What dealer was that?

Look in the bronze family
Gunmetal bronze is a good one

Serra Toyota of Decatur!

They did a great job packing this; they added the extra padding in the OEM box, and then that box was placed in a BIGGER box with more bubble wrapping! They did such a good job, that I plan to send them a kudos email on it.

Serra did the same for me and have earned my default business whenever possible.

Slightly bigger tires vs OEM size. Now on 265/75/R18. Front OEM spacer, rear 227…2? OME springs.

I believe you meant 285/65/18? In case you want to edit.

I figured it was. They seem to be the number 1 option for getting radiators shipped. I got mine from Fred Anderson. It survived, but just by luck I think. Serra stopped shipping radiators for a bit while they worked out their shipping process on them.

Crossed over 135K on the 2016 on annual beach trip with the family.

About 1100 highway miles with some city driving over the course of the week. Family of 4, cargo area packed to the brim. Final average of 18.0 on the dash. 2 hours of severe thunderstorms at night to bring it home, no other vehicle I'd rather be in!

That’s awesome! What tire are you running? Size of tire also?

Thanks for this. Yes, I meant it as you wrote above and I edited prior post for clarity. My eyes are crossing with all my tire posts recently.

Bone stock 285/60/18 for now - wife's daily or it would be up in the air as we speak.

She has approved a set of RW's, so have acquired the wheels and will make the tire switch to 285/70/17 once the stock Dunlops wear out.

In for updates on how you like it.

I like it, just need to put magnuson on to match the sound lol. Doesn’t drone to me but I’m used to louder exhausts from my GRC and GR86. So to me it’s tame.

Added the BH3D cup holders today. Used the included 3m tape to make sure it doesn’t move around as it was a little lose without it. Fits the big water bottles exactly as I hoped!

First mod for any Cruiser.

You were lucky, FA tried twice sending one to me, both were crushed thanks to UPS and lack of packaging.
I ended up driving 2 hours to a dealership.

Yes. Fog light mounts are the same between the 16-21 LC and 3rd gen taco, facelift 2.5 gen tundra and later 5th gen 4Runner. You can also run diode dynamics and rigid I believe as well.

True story

For Sale - Kansas City: Diode Dynamics Stage Series Sport 3 inch Yellow Fog Lights

Diode Dynamics part number: DD6187 DD says these work for 2014+ 4Runners. Direct plug-and-play in OEM fog light location in my 2018 LC, so I’m guessing they have a broader use. $140 plus shipping or local pick up. PM if interested

I know some people are offended but I love the original Land Cruiser cursive font and I think it looks good with the chrome strip and silver paint so I added the HE badges to my non-HE. Not trying to pose, just love the emblem. Roast away. Haha
