I'm hunting down the blank check too! :grinning:

Next up was the ARB Step/Side Rails. I realize many don't like the look of the integrated side rails between the rockers and the front bumper and I can understand that. For me they are embraced. I've had them on my 40 Series for 15 years, my 100 for 5 and I'm sure I'll come to be glad I have...

If you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute. So they say anyways. With Cruise Moab just around the corner I had made some goals to get the some of the 200 projects finished up. It's a bit frustrating seeing 200 projects stack up with no progress and I've been spending a bunch of...

Wyoming rocks! We've done some fantasy western Outlaw research trips throughout Wyoming, places like Hole-in-the-Wall, Atlantic City, South Pass City, etc. I love Wyoming!

Next stop? Skid plates Accessory install time has become quite rare for me here in the shop the last few weeks. As such a project that should take a couple of hours (such as these skids) in fact took 4 days, 10 minutes here, 20 minutes there... I swear I spent more time remembering where I left...

Please do! :grinning:

Thanks! It's been a fun project and I'm anxious to button it up

Next up? Time to tackle the ARB rear bumper, and boy did that take a minute. Boxes ready to be torn open and installed The parts of the rear bumper (not including carriers) laid out, inventoried and ready The pile of hardware, not including the hardware for the carriers We've done a...

What is your apprehension about putting it the factory dual location under the hood, opposite the current battery?

Stage Three Continues - Drawers My buddy Dave is a fellow 200 Series owner and recently installed a set of Outback Drawers in his 200. He had actually purchased them along with a 100 Series fit kit for his UZJ100 but it went on to a new home before he mounted the drawers so he mounted them into...

Stage 3 continued, baby steps: Time has been scarce this winter as I've been busy with work, play and other projects (finally making some headway on the Old Lady's 66' FJ45 build) but we had a few minutes of down time last week during the holidays and more importantly, the 200 wasn't buried in...

Stage Three - The Install Process My initial plans were to do a marathon build similar to those we've done here in the past (fun video of the 100 build) but it just wasn't in the cards this year. We've been busy in the shop and I've been in an out of town a fair bit with work and play so I just...

I hear you... that said wheels are about the easiest mod to make to a vehicle.

Maxtrax are NOT the most expensive traction mat/ladder. They are just the most proven, utilized by global travelers, militaries, desert racers and weekend warriors. Buy once-cry once applies to what I consider best of breed and proven over and over in real-world tests, not a function of price...

I don't think they are expensive, I think they are valuable. Plastic isn't a single variable, there are thousands of types and manufacturing processes. Part of the Maxtrax process involves curing the fresh units for 24 hours In a special process, that comes at a cost. R&D comes at a cost and I'm...

Safari Snorkel - These guys put the recreational vehicle snorkel on the radar of 4x4 users around the globe, many knock-off companies have popped up on the market the last few years with reverse engineered snorkel bodies often using inferior plastics and sub-par hardware, I have no problem...

Stage Two - Choosing & ordering the build components OK, so in the introduction of my build thread I explained the build plan based on the intersection of my wants and needs. Balancing wants with actual needs can be a foggy proposition, with some items clear cut and others not so much. As I...

Cool, tell them Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters sent you

I completely disagree. Gear works or it doesn't, it isn't scalable in a manner such as you suggest. If it breaks i. The middle of nowhere.... it's still broken in the middle of nowhere, the cost won't have mattered. Then again, I'm to poor to buy cheap gear. Buy once, cry once,.

Winch: My travels often find me in some pretty remote locations, possibly in a group or possible solo with nothing but the wolves to keep me company. While we all hope for the best outcome to any situation, its naive to plan for anything but the worst. The winch would need to be matched for the...
