Soon as I think my 200 is really getting built the way I'd like it I see this. Man that's a cool truck.
Doing work with the 200.

Why so many ratchet straps?
A real man would have thrown a single bungee over it and blessed the load with the holy "that ain't goin nowhere!"
Need more pics of the setup!!
I don't have too much else on my phone but my friend Scott has a write up here:
Announcing the E7 200M Land Cruiser Camper :: The Ultimate Toyota Overlander? - Expedition Portal
The E7 200M is the ultimate land cruiser camper, integrating the Maltec conversion with the 200 series. Ready to overland around the globe.

It's a super sick setup. Chopped 200 series (Heritage too!) with a Maltec camper on the back. Only two seats and a pass through to the camper. I drove down to Moab in it (4 hour drive) plus some time on trails there and it really felt a lot like a stock 200. According to Maltec, with the reduction in weight of glass, seats, etc. the whole setup only adds 400 lbs. Everything on the drivetrain is stock so it should still be under warranty.
Don't quote me on this because I think they want people to call in to order - but it's going to be $300K. I believe they're producing 7-8 more.

I wouldn't be surprised at that price tag given that a HE brings $100-110K on its own. They have a really basic built 70 Series Troopy (1990 model) that was restored and it's still $139K. I do really like the simplicity of the build but that's a lot of coin for what I'd consider entry level bare bones for them. I'd be better off getting a 78 Series state side, going through it entirely ($70-80K) and then doing a wedge top conversion and build out myself.
lol, yeah one bungee would have done it! I figured I could go 10 mph faster on the bumpy dirt road for each ratchet strap I added.Why so many ratchet straps?

My 200 is parked over in the marina but figured y'all would still like this; Moon over Priest Lake, ID
Lol! Those tires look hilariously insane on that LX. How does it ride? Where in MT was the pic taken? Stunning!
Rides better than I would expect any other vehicle on 40’s. But I’m both partial and I’ve only ridden in a handful of other vehicle on this size tire or larger. I’m perfectly happy with it, and I don’t baby it. On the mountain passes, I drive it like a sports car. AHC is pretty amazing.
Picture taken at the trailhead of Goose Lake trail by Cooke City.
…and since it’s a picture thread…
^Puts all the money and effort where it counts.
Back in the early days of the 200-series, I didn't think any 200-series could be built in the image of monster tired 80-series. This puts things in perspective. And looks great to boot.
An 80-series on 37s recently stopped by. Can't say his car looked bigger or imposing than my 200-series. Don't get me wrong, it was still an awesome rig. Just not singularly monstrous as I've always pictured them in my mind. All cruisers are monsters!

Love your truck! I enjoy your youtube channel too!
Went on a Monday drive and stayed a couple of nights. Spent most of the time is the float tube fishing and just drifting around. Nice to be out in the middle of the week. Ok, any time is nice to be out and about and be able to get to places like this in the LC.
