You guys ever get this colour? Its the only one ive seen
Looks close to the Pacific Blue Metallic? I've only seen it on the Land Cruiser though. I tried to buy one in San Antonino a few years ago. I dig the color its pretty rare.
 
Super lame driveway pic showing the front tint, weathertech visors and new Gamiviti @nakman rack with custom spaced cross bars to accommodate Maxtrax mounting pins. I just got my Redarc brake controller earlier this week, so once that is installed will be able to take the 200 and the camper out into the woods to do it's proper thing!

2 days worth of pressure washing to get all that Carolina clay off the rig. Looks like she never saw anything besides paved roads again

Hell’s is mall like . What other trails are you hitting?

I’m just a passenger this go around. Matt’s wife is leading Chicken Corners tomorrow. I might ride with Greg and another friend tomorrow to go find some more technical stuff.
 
Thank you for understanding and for the kind words. My goal visually is to have something aggressive and iconic. Really enamored with how it looks, and I still have my stock wheels if I want to throw some 285/65R18's on them and go wheeling hardcore. It's just wheels. Regardless, I don't have a lift and I wouldn't be hitting any hard trails that would challenge my fenders. I finished the fender liner modifications yesterday and tried to torture test it going over hard bumps and a little bit of dirt road action, and it did fine over the bumps and dips. (Speedbumps were fine too :)) I understand those with concerns, and I did evaluate them in making my decision to go with 0 offset wheels and I'm incredibly happy with what I did end up going with.

For comparison, kreiten is running 18x9+20 on 285/70R18 - his wider wheel has just 13.7mm less effective poke than I do, and his tire is a whole inch taller than mine, and he is running a 2" Ironman lift. He is probably one of the most aggressive wheelers on this forum, and his setup is "unorthodox" by these standards. My setup is fine right now for the dirt roads in the country I want to take it on for camping, and with a 2" lift and adjustable UCA's, I don't think I'll consider hard trails that would test my limits for a loooong time. North Texas is pretty flat...

Back on topic for the picture thread: gave it a wash, and I'd say it looks pretty good:

Went with some coworkers out into the middle of nowhere Nevada. It was a great day except for these flys that would bite you...

Ha.. same thought crossed my mind also initially.

found this in the comments:

"Story goes the Cruiser took the turn too fast, went wide, and when his passenger front tire hit the curb, momentum took over and the inevitable happened.

Someone on one of the Longmont groups claims to have dashcam footage. We'll see if he comes through with it."

if dashcam footage shows up will see if I can link it

Haha, thank you.

Thanks! They are Method MR314's in 17x8.5 +0. Note that they are ZERO offset, meaning they will stick out almost 2.5 inches (62.4mm) more than stock (18x8 +56), with about 1 of those inches being poke past the fenders. To be flush with the fender, an offset of about 18-25mm is the sweet spot. The Method MR313s come in that 17x8.5 +25 fitment (similar to the Icon wheels fitment for the LC200).
Running zero offset means you will need to take off the front mudflaps and do a good amount of fender liner modification to run them without rubbing during normal driving, and others on the forum have mentioned concerns of hitting the fender while articulating off road. Watch out for rock chips to vehicles behind you on the trail, or even the sides of your LC. The MR313 or other wheels in a +18 or more offset should not present those concerns.


I added the OEM Front Coil Spacer (Part # 43136-60020) to level out the rake and give me a slightly larger approach angle in the front, and I gotta say it looks great. After an alignment and filling the tires to the proper PSI recommended by gaijin, it rides so smooth and planted on the road.

@timjax thank you for the detailed response!!! What suspension are you running with the oem front spacer? Also, may I ask for more pictures in the day light? :)

Stock suspension - just that front coil spacer and ~33s.

Sure, here you go:

Brightened side shot to show the level stance and lift with the front coil spacer.
