Standard tundra wheels yes, 18x8 I believe, same offset I ran them with spidertrax 1.25in spacers and the tires were 275/70 FWIW

I used to have tundra steel wheels on mine, I loved the look

I just parted with my SQ5(s) — we had a CPO 2015 for 11 years and had a CPO 2020 for 3.5 and both were great. I think the size is ideal for most people and they are definitely quick enough for most people. Would have rather had an S4 Avant but the SQ5 was close enough. As I continue to read...

I think the 700 is a cool car, I would probably buy one vs a similar priced 200. Prices of the very high end of 200s are ridiculous. I’m also not terribly worried about the engine issues as you said. I just wish personally that the triple locked treatment were available on a 600 to maximize...

You’re absolutely right. For those who want to give the EV option a go the ones you’re suggesting are much better choices. I however am a sucker for pain and with two LCs at home you can take some risks on unreliable POS cars 🤣 That being said I’m coming up on a completely uneventful year of...

I swear this is still LC related, bear with me… I think the Taycan/ETron GT were (hopefully) opening salvos meant to generate some attention and that anything that comes after (Macan Electric, Cayenne Electric, RS Audi EV) can maintain their feel while improving on the packaging and tech. The...

We have a (way over-)built 2015 and a nearly stock 2020 HE… both were purchased new. I love them both. I am pretty sure I would buy both again. Having two is honestly pretty great. The old one is the dedicated camp, road warrior, offroad rig. Admittedly though it’s been getting too little use...

Has the windshield been replaced?

Unless you really, really need it, like plan to have a whole variety of things on there full time — I would leave it factory. My first 200 is built to hell and I have a Prinsu rack with all kinds of accessories. I’ve been running a heavy RTT with awning, or occasionally carrying a bunch of...

Excuse my ignorance, maybe I don’t understand what you’re asking… You’re describing the exact environment Toyota built the 200 Series for. It will be dramatically better than a 4Runner on highways, mountain passes, rough roads, snow, and long-distance trave. It’s also worth noting that the...

Exactly as others have said. I would just make sure you have 5 solid tires, comfort/familiarity changing a flat off a paved road, and a once over from your shop of choice. In addition I personally would pack my usual stuff: Water/food (for me that’s a minimum of 2 gallons of water and some...

I had 275/70/18s for years on a lifted 200, including before/after adding bumpers and everything. That’s an easy size to live with. I switched somewhat recently to a 285/75/17 which is slightly taller and slightly wider but is still very manageable. I’d recommend 275/70/18 or 285/70/18, likely...

Beautiful photos, as always, and love the write up!

Welcome! Car looks great. Do you have paint protection or some sort of film on the rear bumper by chance?

I had a similar experience at Slee and was talked out of a long list of thinks that I thought I needed… they are a world class shop.
