That rear door is a killer for me on GX. Love the truck need a tailgate.

I don't see the tailgate being a deal killer at all.

What is the purpose of the stock springs Mardis?

 

[FJ60Cam]

Mardis, you already have a 4Runner. And you've already had a 40, 62, 100, and a 200.

You need an 80.

 

[Nottajeep]

55 Or a 70... bang!

Stock springs is my attempt to get back to a normal ride height to get rid of the background noise (wife) and to buy me time.

I want to be able to get fresh air in cargo area and cant do that in the 200. Runner you can roll down back window. I will miss the tailgate.

If Nolen had sold me that blue 60 in 09 id still be driving it.

s*** man you had sweet 100 setup.

Yeah, I sorta thought that rear door was going to be an issue for me too, but I've gotten to where I like it. I also liked the liftgate on my Sequoia and the lift/tail on my 100. Each seems to work fine for it's purpose.

It is a diaper changing table for me right now. I can see a GX in my future when done with those.

 

[wngrog]

You could rip off one of those changing stations from a restroom and mount it to the inside of the swing out

^ Serious overland move right there

 

[MEMCruiser]

I changed tons of diapers on the back of my 100. I would love it if four runner had a tailgate but it is also nice to be able to air out the dog with a rolldown rear window. Hate that the 200 doesnt have the vent feature in the back.

What about a slide-out, "overland" changing table.........maybe incorporate it as the lid on some slide-out drawers

 

[wngrog]

This is the first 200 that I've stopped to go hmmmmm over.

I think it's the stock wheels and the color coded bumper.

 

[MScruiser]

Where was that picture taken?

 

[wngrog]

Colorado I think. Was posted on TLCA Facebook page

 

[MScruiser]

Ah. Cool.

 

[MEMCruiser]

When I was shopping for my 200 There was a 200 just like that for sale at Steve Lander's Toyota in LR.
It had been used, brand new, as a duck guides work truck. I passed.

Looks like OME has stepped up their game

Ive been keeping a close eye on the Aussies and their impressions of the bp51, as it has been out for much longer than here, stateside (I keep a close eye on the "200 Series Australia Owners" Facebook page. My overall impression of what they are saying is that they are very underwhelmed. There are a few people in the 200 series section on MUD that have them, and one guy had his break (most likely the shop who installed it fault), and another guy is having trouble as they keep coming out of adjustment. YMMV.
