Thank you! We love this truck.
That boat is a 2016 Yamaha AR240 (twin engine jet boat) with a dry weight of ~3,600lbs. I'm estimating the combo (w/trailer) to be in the 5,000-5,500lbs range based on information in jetboaters.net.

Had an awesome time testing my prerunner LC200 furthermore, no changes from last time. Perfect balance between small-medium bump compliance and big hits, jumps. I could use more spring rate (650lb current, to 750-800lb for example. which i will definatly be testing in the future when I attempt to do a rally style valving which is extreme stiffness for the best stability) however I would sacrifice a large amount of ride quality on everything that does not involve big jumps.ill save that for later. Still handled the big jump like nothing. 15 inches of travel upfront to sock it up alongside the king bumpstop, seat of the pants feel is outstanding on landings and going over whoops 50-90mph. (which was being fully engaged on the landings). It doesnt look like we were jumping very high but it sure feels like it INSIDE!
Since I am still running a digressive compression damping curve (well 50/50 since the omega bypass is more on the linear side) however the coilover and rear shocks are fully digressive on the curve. When I am over 70mph in the desert it uses up all of the travel amazingly. Buttery smooth.
However I am still ultimately and inevitability going to end on a progressive damping curve on a set of KINGs, when I finally decide to go 4 link long travel in the rear. The ICONS tho on the current setup are still outstanding, granted all the modifications I have done. It is far from factory ICON settings and curves, however the concept is pretty much the same.
The front end as I have explained before is mainly controlled by the omega bypass since it has most of the valving, the coilover is simply a coil carrier now, very minimal valving. Again I did this to achieve maximum adjust-ability with the bypass.
Didn't have much time to record decent videos. till next time though!, Enjoy!

Looks like some flat water you had that day. Season is over for us up here.
Did our local annual “spooky run” nighttime trail run tonight. Lots of fun and truck looks good in Halloween spider and bat lights

Sounds like fun!
Said goodbye to WR1. New owner is picking it up at Slee’s. A lot of great memories but going into good hands. Now if I can resolve my issues with the dealer on the ‘18 I purchased is another story!
Do tell Cody, do tell.....
And, what are the plans for the new 200? It's interesting to read @mcgaskins thread on his LC, and the perspective the 2nd time around.
Had quite some fun with fellow land cruiser owners, here is the instagram account if you'd like to explore - @landcruiserownersid
unfortunately mine was the only 200 series which showed up there, but please enjoy all the pics

BONUS, THE FLEXING 105HZJ

Are you planning to build again?
Or...are you taking the @mcgaskins latest approach to wheeling with his:
”Bumpers? We ain’t got no bumpers... We don’t need no bumpers! I don hev to show yoo any STEENKING BUMPERS!!!”
<For you you youngins...note movie reference... 
For the record...there’s nothing more fun than seeing Matt crush trails in Moab with his still-dealer-plated stock LC!
