Kept her clean for the first week of ownership, but despite the rain I just had to get her out on a trail. Mud was more slimy than i expected. I got sucked into the deep ruts where I didn't want to be. LC crawled right through it. Didn't get out until I found this grassy field because i knew my shoes would be caked in clay and subsequently the pedals. I need to replace the stock tires and a couple inches lift would be nice too.
Spent an hour or more pressure washing the wheels and underside when I got home. I8hmud moreso in the 200 than the 40, much harder to clean after the fact. But I guess the 40 has 6 or 8 more inches of clearance, very large and open wheel wells and fewer fancy suspension parts.

First camping trip in the books. Gemini Bridges in Moab!
If you're a regular length person, can you sleep out of these? I figure fold all the seats up and let our feet hang off the lower tailgate, if they would hang off at all.
They're definetly out there. Fair amount of places around pipelines in Louisiana and Texas that do up welders rigs would take on a project like that no problem, and with quality too. Start looking there instead of offroad shops. This conversion isn't the forte of offroad shops.
That's a great point...never thought of that looking with those guys. I've got a few of those around me.
Curious if you have to inflate/deploy it to get access to the interior? Does it fit in the garage in the stowed position? Open position?
My bad...lol. I don't have a camper. I mean can two people put seats up and sleep out the back of their LX? Yes it will narrow in the third row bc of the seats folded up but that's no dealbreaker. I feel like the tailgate down gives you an extra foot of room for your legs to hang out the back.
I would suggest investing into a tape measure and coming to your own conclusion on that question. And I mean this in the most polite way possible. We are all of different "dimensions" and have different wants/needs for sleeping space. Measure what you're working with and see how it relates to your needs.
Similar .. but the slimmed down version .. Thule Slim box and Livin Lite's Extreme Camper. with hub to Toyota adapters.. More Tropical Remote..

When I took delivery of this truck last year I did not like the looks of it. Was the third 200 I had since 2014 but was more “built” than the others. Just did not like the look. So it sat in the garage for the last 18 months and did not really drive it. Then I realized I just did not like the look of the truck with the Prinsu rack. So now back to the OEM setup. I doubt I will drive it much more but pretty happy with how it looks now. The Prinsu probably would have stayed if I used the truck much but I have others when we are getting dirty.
What lift do you have on this truck? Looks good!

I currently am running BP51’s with 2723 rear springs. However, moving away from BP51’s and have some Dobinson MRA’s to try out.
Not loving the BP51s huh? I was about to order a set for my 200 i picked up a couple of weeks ago.

They are alright. I’ve had two 80’s with them and two 200’s with them. Sold one of the 80’s and one of the 200’s. The other 80 now has Kings and I’m just looking to do something different on this truck.
cool, just curious. I have done ome on some older cruisers and tacoma and really like them. But the older cruisers were all leaf springs so different beast.
