eBay - IIRC, there were two kinds of toy 200s listed, those in the sub-twenty dollar range and some that were $100+. This was the cheaper version, only had to glue one taillight back on!
Your most welcome dude, test drive it too.
Having a blast with the Prerunner this weekend.
What I noticed:
- I really need to get a 10 point roll cage done soon, as with the increased capability, the risk is also much higher. It is always better to be safe than sorry especially during this kind of spirited driving.
- I need better suited racing seats to keep me stable on big impacts at high speeds, stock wobble me around to much.
- I need to get a 4-6 point harness connected to the roll cage. (Roll Cage will be fabricated and designed after the 4 link rear has been finished, since the roll cage rear points will attach to the shock mounts).
- I need much more rebound damping in the rear, the front is perfect( you can see how well the front absorbs impacts in the video, landing jumps, just enough rebound damping, while the rear bucks) (FIXED).
- A supercharger would be a nice upgrade although not needed for now. Magnusson supercharger with 6 psi of boost. around 480-500hp should be more than enough. **(Suspension main priority, 4 link rear then think about engine upgrades).
Step by step, one at a time, nevertheless this thing is outstanding and is performing much better then what I had expected thankfully.

And I really have to say this again, these 200 series cruisers are absolutely ****ing reliable I have been abusing the crap out of this thing 24/7 and with not much maintenance or pretty much any repair it keeps taking it. Never fails to get me home in one piece.

Insane air. Thanks, hope you mend quickly.
Almost 34 years to the day my parents purchased this 84 60 brand new off the lot for 14 grand.Currently it sits in my garage with some small modifications.
Today they purchase this, 16 200 Blue Onyx Peral, Terra interior, 35 thousand miles. Not brand new, but new enough
First thing to go will be he hideous wheels.

Only time I’ve seen 35x12.5’s on stock bumpers was on mine...but was only on long enough to limp to Slee for bumpers install. Rubbed like heck!
Surely you’re rubbing the Tupperware, right?
Negative, did do some trimming and heat gunnin

Oceano Dunes earlier this week. Disregard the makeshift whip mount.
Somewhere, a painter is missing his tape lol.
^^^ haha my next mod for the LX: duct tape.
Forgot to mention. Stock height, AHC on ”N”, 18” Method wheels +25mm, Falken Wildpeaks (275/65/18). Rubs a fair amount on the mud flap when making sharp turns moving forward and especially backward.

Earlier today getting a Christmas tree outside Winter Park, CO. This is the first time I've driven the 200 in the snow and it did great. I do have 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on it. The next picture of this thing will be very different since it's going to get Slee'd on Monday. 
Slightly different take on Rock Warrior colors.
Ring is painted with Rust-Oleum hammertone black (which is actually graphite color). Applied with a roller, and it's very forgiving on touch-ups. The center cap is covered by a 85mm "3D" decal.

Oh man. Proper! Someone finally homebrewed the LX with 35s. So 1.25" spacer and a body mount chop? That's the recipe I believed would work. 1" spacers might make this fitment easier still.
Thanks for pushing the boundaries!
