What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (16 Viewers)

[eatSleepWoof]

I built a 1/2 side sleep platform.
25" wide. 42" long. The front legs are an inch and a half longer than the rear legs to fill in the drop space upfront and be level. Total height is 11.5" throw an exped mattress in as needed. Decent amount of storage space underneath as well.

Might be a bit late for you, but for anyone else wanting the same setup... Check out Roll-a-cot cots: Green Polyester Longhorn Roll-a-Cot® (79"L x 32"W x 15"H) with sleeve for your air mattress - https://www.camptime.com/collections/cots/products/green-longhorn-lw-roll-a-cot-79x32x15

Fantastic cots with a very nice structural design. No middle support/leg, meaning you can put this right overtop of the wheel well in the cargo area.

Where did you get the lenses from?

How bad was getting the old lenses off?

I first bought a pair of Amazon, total scam, avoid! The ones on the car I got off Ebay for ~$95

Horrific! With my car being a 2009 I had to bake the lenses for about 2x the suggested length and cleanup of the channels was vicious. I did not get them nearly clean enough. As such, putting the new lenses back in, its not a tight of a seal all the way around, and this shows minorly with gaps on the fender panels now that they are back on the car. Not enough for me to undo/redo. They should still be sealed well and not have any dust/water issues.

Interesting! Got pics of this setup?

Not in the LX, but I did take photos when I got these a few years ago. (I've since sold them.)

I dropped the Cruiser off this morning for a few things… Kings, diffs, cam tab gussets, and ball joints.

Went and played in the Beartooth mountains with the local group this weekend. Absolutely amazing scenery and a ton of fun seeing what a group of Toyotas can do

Spent an hour and a half replacing a driver's side front wheel bearing assembly. I had an odd vibration and noise that would start around 47mph, turning to the left at speed took pressure off of the drivers side and the vibration and noise lessened. Not a hard job, and I had extra parts (lug studs, axle nut, cotter pin) just in case.

Yup. Time and money well spent for an unmatched family adventure vehicle. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

@TeCKis300 I looked over some of your old threads and wow! That is fantastic suspension/AHC fabrication work and your results are amazing. While I've recently removed all of my mods for my sensor lift, after seeing your truck, the squirrel cage in my head is moving again - maybe I will order and install the E&E rear shock extenders, some rear spring spacers, and the front 10mm toyota spacers I have, to see if I can go back to a sensor lift, but adjust it to stock pressures, since I really like the stock feel, especially with my 275/70r18 e-load wheels.

Appreciate it. Like many of us here, it's hard to leave stuff alone. Must tinker!
