    200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database

    WUT?! I don't understand why you would think that? Your sig shows that you, like almost everyone on here, are using an oversized tire also with extra vehicle weight. In no way are the door listed psi's meant to be used on a larger tire under the extra weight of steel bumpers with winches and...

    200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database

    How can BFG tell you a psi without knowing the weight on each axle? They must be going off factory base weight? You know a stock LC200 isn't going to need the same psi as one with 2 steel bumpers, sliders, rack, awnings, RTT, 2nd fuel tank, fridge, food, ....beer Couple weeks ago a...

    200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database

    Actually, if you mean the trd 17's, aren't those a slightly narrower wheel than the standard 18? It's just as likely the inside face is at least equal but possibly further away from the uca with the outside face being roughly the same. These should fit better than the 18's if so. I have a set...

    Should I Get a 200?!

    The hater was probably driving an old jacked Subaru outback LOL There's a guy around here with a 90's subie with AT LEAST 12" clear under the rear diff. It looks like it must handle like s*** but it's dirty as hell whenever I see it ;)

    Tell me why this is a bad plan

    I've always just hard ball negotiated and made sure I knew exactly what other stock there was in the region and remember, a one way flight and drive home is often not really that expensive so don't let a difficult local dealer try to strong arm you if they're the only one in the immediate area...

    Should I Get a 200?!

    I thought this thread was mainly about how to haul a growing family and IMO that doesn't mean just 4 people. It means at least 6 or else 3rd row isn't even needed.

    KO2 vs Michelin LTX A/T2

    I must have missed that you have the lx and thus the ADC/ride height. You like it? I am a sucker for being able to cruise at speed on lower height then raise for offroad. I also like it adapting to trailering weight. What does it do if you really try to cross axle flex? You must have...

    Tell me why this is a bad plan

    When I was close to buying, I found similar % could be had. You just have to shop around and not listen to that "we don't negotiate" BS. Someone, somewhere, will, always.

    Tell me why this is a bad plan

    Well, I'm also a trader so while regular folks get home from work and discover their 401k has been decimated, I've already sold and bought put options.... it's all about perspective and time frame. Today I made $ on Russel index dropping off from all time highs while also on Merck popping on...

    Tell me why this is a bad plan

    Lol there is almost no chance of a 2008-ish correction looming. Of course there will Be fluctuations but that was a special mix of circumstances. W Now, I also would be careful whatvsnd where I’d buy right now. For example I wouldn’t buy on my street, I like a deal and right now they’re harder...

    Tell me why this is a bad plan

    Is this seriously a 2 yr thread pause - follow-up?! ;) hope life has been good since feb 2016. Honestly, I had paperwork all done and negotiated, took new one home for extended test drive just me and gf. Decided to wait as I’ve bought too many new vehicles over last 12 yrs. In hindsight, I’d...

    KO2 vs Michelin LTX A/T2

    For 205/65-18, I actually had one test for on a wheel when I was choosing and it’s way wider than 275/65-18 275/70 and even my 34” 285/70-18. Its that width that causes all the trouble when articulating the wheel up into the fender as kdss engages. If someone never tries rock crawling or...

    KO2 vs Michelin LTX A/T2

    Hey, I know they must look totally badass, nice proportion, flash w fenders, etc. but there’s no way that size plus offset can stuff into the fenders without lots of contact under full articulation off road. No offense but can you show that you’ve done it...? You have a responsibility on a...

    Should I Get a 200?!

    Lol you sure made an assumption that I did not in any way ..say... why the hell you talking about self image? So you are actually going to deny the idea that a bmw seat and handling is NOT more comfortable than a minivan? LMAO Anyway, you’re also saying that some creature comforts of a little...

    Should I Get a 200?!

    Well, if a person wants to also take rugged routes or trails along the way, these great vans just aren’t going to do it. Even the awesome domestic full size truck chassis 4x4 solid axle vans are often too big/Long.

    KO2 vs Michelin LTX A/T2

    LOL - can you say UCA...rub...offset...spacers...run again at full lock, and forget stuffing the tire up if KDSS is fully engaged. I seriously doubt that size retains full articulation.... would look cool but would also be instantly seen as a true poser highway cruiser.

    Should I Get a 200?!

    Nobody asked about this "growing family" more specifically.... Are there more than 4-5 of you? are some of you getting really fat and need your own seat row? what exactly is the growth aspect to address here...? ;) I ask because the 3rd row in LC whether it's a 100 or 200...kinda sucks if...

    KO2 vs Michelin LTX A/T2

    E Maybe some of us with a tire ‘problem’ can create a place to talk through our obsession? I’ll start by saying “yes, I have a tire problem” ;) Test for day shown above from last summer. Left to right: BFG KO2 275/65-18(x8”) fits w zero rubbing even w air struts slammed for garages. It is...
