Especially one with the 4.5l twin turbo diesel

I'd move to the Middle East for that

@brosama We only get the v8 diesel on the 200 in the ME. 70 gets the 4.0 v6 or 1hz. Australia get the v8 diesel on the 70.

Let's see some shots from different angles. I'm still deciding between the TJM and ARB

Looks good! How do you like the LEDs?

 

[KY Longhunter]

I think I recall that Suspension upgrade necessary with aftermarket bumper due to the weight. Is that correct?

 

[Archtaan]

I ran the heavy OME coils. The net weight of the bumper is + 137#'s plus winch. With stock springs you will drop @ 1" in the front.

Picked up a 2013 about 6 weeks ago. I'm pretty much only a lurker on Mud at this point but will contribute when I get the chance. Got my truck out over the weekend after getting the lift and tires on. Found myself in the middle of a nice little storm in Escalante, UT and got a chance to put her through the paces. Very happy with the truck so far

Looks good dmc. Can you give some more detail on what lift and tire size you went with? How does it ride? Any rubbing or trimming needed?

 

[dmc]

I posted it in the wheel and tire thread. Old Man Emu lift with 5mm trim packers. Worked out to about 2.5" up front and 3" in the rear. Running the 2722 coils in the rear as I have the weight of ARB drawers and fridge. Tires are 275/70/18 BFG KO2s. The ride is really good. Very happy with it. Obviously stiffer than stock but I prefer a firm ride. It's fantastic on high speed dirt. I'm also coming from a built 100 series and compared to torsion bars the ride is pure bliss. So far no rubbing but I'm sure the springs still have some settling to do. I'll post up in that thread if and when I start rubbing.

Flexin up!

Took my dog for a walk this morning. He stopped at a stump too.

@kreiten is simply establishing dominance over the terrain of Washington.

Great shot!

Took the kids up to Durhamtown Tellico...they had a blast.

 

[Skiime]

Total poser shot I know...when I get my lift on, I'll take some shots with my good camera...but I'm no Kreiten.

How is it up there for a 200?

You mean Durhamtown Tellico? Such an awesome place...we had a great time. For a 200, it really depends on if it's built and what trails you take. They have them marked like ski slopes, green, blue, black and double black. We actually went up there to ride side by side ATVs, which was a blast, but we also camped on one of the sites up there, and you had to take one of the easier trails to get to the camp site. My stock 200 handled it like a champ, but you have to have 4WD to even get to the campsites. I was temped to take it on some of the blues, as I know it would make it, but I figured I'd wait until I got my lift. Overall, I probably wouldn't want to take it on many of the harder trails, simply because they can be a little tight, and you'd get plenty of pinstripes...but a lifted 200 would do any of the blues. Now the blacks, that's a different story. We saw a few guys with those propane powered buggys that are crazy built. I don't know if I'd have the balls to do a lot of the double blacks, and frankly, I'm surprised the laws of physics even allow that. But seriously, it was our first time up there, but not our last. Totally great place, the people were super nice, the trails were fun and the campsites were really pretty. I would recommend renting one of their side by sides though...they can go up all the steep and narrow trails. I know I sound like a commercial for them, but we really did have that much fun. My son had a smile ear to ear the whole time.

Finally almost getting the FJ55 PTO winch ready for resto, that's the rusty lump behind the 45
