No worries Combat, and thanks for the support.

 

[BigDouggieDoug]

Very nice trucks, Nospell.

I love, love, love the green on the 200-series. I'm not as big a fan of it on the 100 probably because of the two-tone under-side body cladding. Nice looking Cruisers!

My dirty, but very loved, LC

Okay, here's a pic of my 200 up at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. No mods yet...just snow tires and some rock protection. It's a great vehicle and very capable, even at the -40F we see throughout the winter. One day, it'll get the bullbar and rear bumper treatment, but shipping that stuff to Alaska costs a small fortune.

 

[BigDouggieDoug]

Nice! Welcome brussum.

305s

Here's some pics after the Radflo coil overs with the size tire I was hoping to 305/65! As many of you can imagine, these wouldn't work. So the last shot is with the pre-approved 275/70.

Love the looks of a 200 that is lifted without the armor.

 

[NQCruiser]

I like your choice of colour for those trucks, Nospell.
I'm sorry you were blackmailed into posting, though.

X 2. We don't get that green over here in Australia - looks nice on that shape.

radflos

Murph,

that looks real nice. were there any other mods required , or did you just add the radflos?

 

[Murph37]

Snowpup,

The setup is pretty basic, I just added the coilovers and spacers to feel out the truck a little better. I looked into the doing the TC upper control arms but everything aligned. So far I am extremely happy with the ride improvement.

 

[snowpup]

Murph,

sorry for sounding ignorant, but what are the spacers for? radflos front and rear? do you have a parts list? i just went to the BFG 285/65 18's, want to add a little lift - mostly to eliminate the rake - and have heard good things about the radflos.

thanks,

 

[Billfish]

Murphy, Did you go for the 2.5 Radflo coilovers and if so how is the ride without front bar? Did you do anything to the rear?

 

[Murph37]

I went with the 2.0 Radflos, and since the install I have spoken with different sources that pointed me to toward 2.5 diameter Radflos.(Mark and LT at Metal Tech, both provided tremendous help) Regardless, I am happy with their performance, and I don't plan on a replacement bumper so I don't expect any problems. I left the rear suspension stock, but I may add new stocks in the future.

And the spacers move the wheels out a little just for appearance, in essence you are changing the back spacing on the stock wheel. The spacers did create a small rub on the mud flap on the front wheels.

 

[Nospell]

Thanks for the kind words above. Here are more pics without armor. The rear bumper is almost toast so some armor is needed in the future. Like the posts above, I don't like the look of any bumpers available, they are all too massive. I wish Slee would make his 100 "BlueBerry" variant for the 200.

 

[Murph37]

Sharp looking truckNospell! What size tires are you running?

 

[xscape]

Greetings from Poland

 

[TroutRunner]

Cool, your area in Poland looks just like New Mexico, USA.

 

[BigDouggieDoug]

Welcome xscape. Thanks for sharing the nice pics!

 

[Carl L]

Yes, welcome Xscape. Some great pics have been added the last couple of weeks, the stock rubber on mine will be gone as soon as I find the time as the aftermarket looks so much better and is key for mud. Been able to get away with it it's been so dry but will be road tripping around Christmas so best get on that.

 

[Carl L]

Stock, articulation at mild start of trail. Found a good mudhole along there too, but can't get the after pics as I'm not at my own computer and I'm bad enough when I'm on that.
