I’d actually like to see someone lower a new 250. I think it would look pretty cool.

This would make waaaayyyy more sense if it was the GX550, with a heavily modified twin turbo V6. Oh wait, is the 250 the same engine in the US?

Yeah, I've seen this photo too. I can't tell if they actually lowered it or just stuffed 24s on it. Either way, I think it looks pretty cool.

Guys, that's a photoshop "rendering." That 250 picture isn't real.

Was wondering myself. I can't ever really tell though. PS is getting good these days

Between photo/video editing technology and now AI being thrown in the mix it’s definitely blurred the lines.

Went out leaf-peeping with the wife yesterday. Did some light off-roading and drove under a rock that made me reeeeaaalllly uneasy.

I can hear the swish swish swish of the track suits that ride in this thing.

is this a common item of fix on 200?


my 290 k 200 (250 k stock, 40 k lifted bigger tires), is still on all stock CV

Depends on how hard you go. I think you could be careful with the skinny pedal and wheel and avoid most CV breaks.

I'd personally classify it as a wear item--it looks more like I have a slightly torn boot rather than a fully blown axle. I have pretty bad angles due to being at the top end of recommended lift (~2.75") and I sent it a bit too hard at the offroad park a couple weeks back (on top of a pretty heavy year of offroad use)

That makes sense! I will keep an eye on mine. I am at 2" lift.

you can change your head gasket during the axle swap.

To contribute to the picture thread. This is funny comparison of ground clearance on a jeep with 37s vs. my 200 with 285/65

 

[Heckraiser]

Ground clearance is definitely the 200's weak spot coming from an 80

 

[TeCKis300]

Meh. A solid axle jeep on 37s can't do the bucket challenge whereas a 200-series on 37s can. At least the front axle.

I've been meaning to take it out and measure the FTG...but yeah I think it's mostly angle induced. The Westcott is definitely tall, and closer to level than I think raked...but I'm good with that. I had both the OE and this one, and went with this after many HE owners advising I wouldn't be satisfied with the rake after the install sans back seat.

Measured this morning. It is 38” up front and 38 3/4 in the rear. So, not a ton…but a still a little rake.
