FYI these tires are (or at least were) OEM on the Tundra, and we call them 'Ragged Trails' because of their awful all-up rep: (lack of) performance (dry, wet, snow, ice - you name it) and durability (many stories of done by 20K). Based on experience with other tires and rigs I can only assume...
Electric-shift t-case (knob/dial), yes?
Nice truck...my Dad had ~14 F-250's over 29 years as work trucks, his 1st 2 PSD's were his favorite for heavy towing (98 & 00, 7.3/6-speed manual).
If the new owner of a gray '08 they bought Friday from Lee Peterson in Yakima, WA (out from under me...well, not exactly but :flipoff2:) is on here can you post up some pics? I'm just interested in what kind of shape it's in...apparently so I can torture myself over "what if?!?" :crybaby:
And...
I've searched and asked individuals, but nothing so far...can anyone provide some shipping (packaging, etc.) guidance for an OEM front bumper? Probably UPS Ground if it matters.
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
Posted in the 100 forum as well, but anybody know of a good shop in the Burlington/Greensboro area to recommend for a (long-distance) pre-purchase no-BS inspection? Obviously prefer someone who knows 100's well.
Looks like the local dealership options are Cox (Burlington) and...
Anybody looked into this one and/or have an educated guess on why nobody's pulled the trigger?
I guess no nav/AHC could be a negative for the greater LC/LX crowd...
Now I think I recall Christo making a comment while/after doing one of the first 200 builds that the struts were 'beefier' than the Tundra...which probably explains why this isn't one of those interchangeable (aftermarket) parts. *Bing* There ya go, Sir...fab/design & outsource a 200 strut...
Searched and saw twstrchasr asked ~ 1.5 years ago but no answer: Is there a leveling kit for the 200? If not, would the Tundra versions work (e.g. ReadyLift strut extensions)? Looks like the rear would be fine for a ~ 275/70R18, but assume the front requires some altitude.
US?
Any chance of a US-market option? I know the 5.7L is awesome, but for those who don't need quite the power and wouldn't mind the additional mileage...though I do realize the LC has always been a 1-engine option here.
I assume the Tundra engine & tranny will be built in the US, and the 4Runner versions will be built in Japan, as I believe is the case with current & previous models (4.7/5-speed). 4R guys are excited assuming this combo will find it's way into the next gen 4Runner...
The 'new' 6-speed tranny is an updated version of the 5-speed...
Wonder if/how they'd work in a 100? :hhmm:
