200 Series Offroad Video Thread

[BTUMAN]

Let's Post up some links to Videos of our Trucks Offroad. I know there are alot of third party vids out there, but lets keep this to our 200s or videos shot of 200s on the trail with your cameras.

I'll start with my 200's first easy action shot off road- approved by mother nature.

Who knew Thor drove a Land Cruiser?

Ok, here is another that is a little more offroad. My first 3 wheel tip. If you have ever video it is hard to see the 3D elevation and technical conditions.

BTUMAN,

How many PSI did you have on those tires while on the trail?

I thought I would record one of my test drives in a armored TLC 200 GXR 4.7 with custom Bilstein/Eibach suspension

This drive test takes place in soft sand and semi compact sand - we use this to confirm the 4WD and suspension is correctly installed and working. (there is another test area on the paved road where we do acceleration, braking, and handling.)

The TLC's new curb weight (armored FB6/BR6) is 3850kg with stock tires at 65psi. No prep is done only while in neutral the 4WD is switched to LOW and then the drive test is started.

I believe I was at 25 PSI on that second one.

Any details on the armoring?

Is running street tires on the regular let along on the rocks at 65PSI a good idea?

Probably LT tires with the new weight rating and armouring. LT rating goes up to 80 psi on some weights.

Here is a good one showing the flex inside the wheel well as it goes off camber going down and across a creek bed.

Keep in mind that I am factory height right now. Very capable Land Cruiser.

I've seen some of the damage pictures, but where's the videos?

Nice to see your rig out where god intended it to be used. Looks like you may have picked up a bit of bum-rash on that clip. Mine got hammered too last weekend on a sharp drop off into a creek bed and I have a 60mm/30mm lift.

Are you considering a lift and a steel rear bumper? I am going the Kaymar route.

 

[BTUMAN]

So did you go OME or Iron Man on the lift? If I would of jade the lift I would have probably not had any scrapes. I really crunched the passenger mud flap and trim.

I'm not sure on the rear just yet. May wait until it comes off. Heard good things on Kaymer. I saw your damage pics. Ouch.

It was my first time really offload but felt pretty good. The flex on these is hard to believe.

Went for 2.5 Radflo Coilovers front and rear shocks and Total Chaos UCAs, Slee sliders and Nitto Trails 33"

 

[BTUMAN]

Looks great! Did the 33 spare fit under? Take a video of your rig doing a walk around with your phone or something. Love the stance b

Here is one with me showing off my improved approach angle with the 35's, plenty on this trip just could not get up this as they smacked the bottom of the hill

Nice. That is a great one and a great looking rig.

[BTUMAN]

This should help! Next video I post should have these and maybe I won't drag arse.

New 200 Series Video in it's natural environment

Here is a quick 5 minute compilation I put together of my trip over Imogene Pass in CO. Change to 720HD and go full screen if you want. Great Flex shot and demonstration of Crawl Mode shown here.

Since first post I have added OME lift and Goodyear DuraTrac 275 70R18. Since this video I added Total Chaos Upper Control Arms to eliminate the bad alignment and pull to right.
