I know very little about these, but man this looks good to me. Interested to see where it ends up.

Thanks for the warning. I guess that's what I'm asking about. I'm new to the 80 series having owned a 200 in the past so I really don't know very well what I'm looking at yet nor do I have much to compare it to...which is why I was asking those more experienced what *they* see. Thanks for the...

This was bid up to $6969 (obligatory niiice) and did not meet reserve. What appears to be seller's FB has it listed with a price of $16950. 😮 Merit Cars - https://www.facebook.com/MeritCars/

I thought the same as the other folks: cosmetically it's rough, but everything else seems ok. I'd feel way better with some maintenance records though. What are you seeing in the pics that gives you that conclusion? No snark, just an honest question and I'm trying to learn what to look for.

@NC237 , Thanks for posting those diagrams. Really helpful when replacing my door actuator motors today. Shop quote of about $900 for both front doors and I paid about $30 for two motors and a set of panel puller tools. Cheers! Also noticed that the 5th gen 4Runner folks seem to have the same...

Just want to chime in and also say thanks for the write-up. Replaced the actuator motors in both driver and passenger front doors today and this thread was really helpful. Thanks again!

Wow, that sounds bad. Have you checked that the KDSS valve is closed? This PDF (step 3) describes opening the valve and has a picture of what you're looking for under the truck if you're unfamiliar: http://www.sleeoffroad.com/technical/pdf_files/200_Series_KDSS.pdf Others here will no doubt...

Has anyone replaced the struts for the rear hatch in their 200 yet? I searched and did not find anything. Just curious how much of a pain it might be.

Thanks guys for the replies. I like what I've read about the SPC UCA's so far. This is the way I'm leaning now. My Cruiser? Well, it just leans to the right... Would you guys trust your local Toyota dealer with installing the SPC's and getting the truck aligned?

Thanks. Yes, I tried hitting the zerks on both sides a couple different times and no change. Now, I haven't loosened the bolt (per TC instructions) and really pumped a ton of grease in there, I've only tried maybe 3 or 4 pumps with the bolt tight and weight on wheels. I can sort of "feel" the...

Hi folks, I have a couple suspension-related questions. I can break this out into its own thread if needed but thought I'd start here. I have a 2013 200 with 65000 miles that I picked up this summer. I'm the second owner but when it was brand new it was outfitted with the OME 2703 spring/91005...

Hi! I'm just (a bit) down the road in State College.

Whoa. Glove box game is strong. I have weathertechs as well and like your idea for stashing the manual under the seat.

So, I recently picked up a 200 as well and also had some reservations about the brakes after a couple days behind the wheel. I was coming from a Golf R that had pretty nice brakes with a linear feel to them. Two thoughts: 1. You do get used to the brakes on the 200. After about a month now, I...
