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

[MScruiser]

You've got my number as well. When are you picking it up?

You know me, I'll not be shy if I need some pointers.

I am having them ship it directly to my door. Total cost was $1365.97 shipped


They said it should be here in 4-5 business days, so I guess I could even have it this week if I am lucky.

Anything I should do as to prep-work now, to save me time when it comes in?

Any way you could snap a shot inside of the plug with the cap lifted? I managed to shatter the entire and bracket while wheeling and just need a shot of the inside to make sure I got it all back together right.

Here you go.

No really if you plan on driving it. You could pull the skid plates, disconnect the parking sensors and fog lights, but that is about it for now.

Here you go.

Thank you Sir!

 

[Archtaan]

Thank you Sir!

NP. If you need any more just let me know.

And pick up that weather stripping for the bumper fill in. Take your rig to a PPG auto paint shop and have them read your paint code. They should be able to mix it, put it into an aerosol can for you and then your head light trim pcs. Will match the rest of your rigs color scheme.

Ice down your beer

LOL. You're going to need a Yeti cooler because its gonna be 10 hours worth of tasty beverages!

 

[MScruiser]

I've already got the paint on order.

And beer is not a problem (see my sig below)

 

[Willy beamin]

Next year at the 200 event you need to bring 50 gallons of brew / not 10 but 50. get to working on that ok. - thanks

 

[MScruiser]

Do you think 50 gallons is going to be enough?

 

[Willy beamin]

average person consumes 46 gallons of beer in a year. Reports say nothing about cruiser heads consumption rates - i may have undershot that quantity request.....let me get back you on that

 

[Willy beamin]

Few little odds and ends to finish up but I'm going to call this 95% finished.
So what do you all think about this?
I gained 6" of ground clearance from the stock bumper
The weight is unknown right now
Jerry holder can need to be modified once fitment came into play
Over all the quality to top notch and minimal effort to install.
22 bolts and four brackets.
MADE IN AMERICA!

 

[MScruiser]

Hot Damn!

That looks great, man! You got a killer departure angle now; you need to tuck that exhaust in next; it looks like your weakest link.

Anyone want to buy a slightly used ARB rear bar?

 

[ntsaint]

Sweetness. Love the LED cubes.

 

[steenh]

I think I might have found my rear bumper!! That just looks fantastic!

 

[Willy beamin]

Yep that tail pipe needs attention.
The rear end (springs) is not as active anymore. Guess the added weight settled that down. And it fits in my garage so that's good. Need to mess around with the back up camera and relocate that. Still need to get my sensors (front and back) working.
Thanks guys

That is beyond awesome!
Only issue i see with that setup is whoever wants to copy it needs to go down the 35's route to get it to look as sweet as yours.
Moar pics!!!

Ditto. That's beyond cool, Willie. Well done. I like nearly everything about it. If fact once I get my RW rims you are driving my car dam it. I especially like the wheel centered at the back rather than to one side. Definitely move the camera to underside of the wind deflector (dust magnet) above. There is a thread existing (perhaps on Lcool) showing how to go about it, reasonable straight forward I seem to recall.

How about some more info on the latching mechanism. More pics! This is something truly new and requires its own thread.

Question: Would it be possible to 'tip' the leading edge of the bumper sides (closest to the rear wheels) down maybe an inch so as to run parallel with the remainder of the molded angle on the factory plastic trim above? Or are there practical design constraints requiring what I assume to be the level line you have gone with?

 

[spressomon]

Nice looking bumper Willy! Your's or who's? Ditto et al: More bumper pics...please .
