Yes the plastic bumper suck for the aftermarket, but the build quality is there. Yes, there is a lot of plastic, but the execution is good. Underneath the truck is much more refined than the 100.

Just pull one of the front struts and look at the bottom mount compared to a FJ or a even the Tundra. It is huge and overbuilt. Most everything on it is.

that is really good to know. i actually thought the running gear was impressive but my impression was from the interior. A bit on the plasticy side

it's good to know that they beefed it up even more than the 100, that should pay dividends as you mod.

I'm starting to dig the 200. Now all I need is to make about three times what I make now to justify buying one....

This last weekend in the Rockies. Rained for 7 days straight, so it was totally muddy. Ended up getting stuck 5 mins after this photo.

Too busy getting out!
Apparantly my buddy has a vid of me and KDSS going backwards at warp speed to get over some muddy ruts. I haven't seen it, but would like to. He couldn't believe how well the articulation worked, and how stable the truck was.

Here's a little vid from two weekends ago. The second part coming down the hill was my first test for crawl control. You can hear my buddy mumble "No Brakes", but little did he know, I was doing nothing but steering and sipping coffee.

Enjoy, hope you can all get it ok.

I like that rear bumper Slee is developing for the 200. Huge increase in clearance.

What axle is under there? It's centered now right?

After reading this thread, I'm gunna research a 200, maybe compare to an FJ ...

All I know is, I would buy a 200, before an FJ

You're NUTS! BOTH vehicles has the name CRUISER in them. This makes them the same....just a different version.
