Pull those running boards off, and it'll move from one team to the other........I'll never understand Toyota's/Lexus' attraction to running boards and mud flaps. Totally kills the exterior design

If you're gonna have mud flaps go all in.
I was talking with some of our Supply guys, as they off loaded 6 brand new hilux and 200 series, and I asked about maintenance plans for them as the locals don't exactly stop from their "day job" to change oil and we change the oil on ours but that's about it.
The shocking reply was "They should be good for 2 years".
I asked for clarification.
Toyota estimates in the environment we are in with no maintenance at all, other than tires, a 200 will go for 2 years. I am not sure how solid this intel was but...........wow.......your tax payer $s at work. On the other hand a lot of them get shot up before that anyway.
so my idea is get onur and WCT to change oil/tires/belts and then pocket the HUNDRES of THOUSANDS of $$$$$$ for cruisers our taxes are buying. THEN the market is flooded with them, as Toyoda keeps producing, and the price goes down. Cruisers for all, world hunger ends, and WCT can put 49 tire stickers all over this country!!

I'd give you a month in that place CT! lol
Well i realized I couldn't stay away for too long. Found this 2014 in McKinney. Had 57.6k miles on it. One owner regularly serviced. Felt like I got a good deal on it.
Plan is to build it slowly. Probably limited to sliders, lift and new wheels and tires. I don't care for the Tundra 20" ones on there. I removed the running boards.

yeah, those wheels gotta go. Good snag!
Can I tow a 200 with front tires on a HD 6500 lb dolly?
Remove the rear driveshaft?

I think I would buy something a little smaller to tow behind vs a big heavy 200.
I don't see why you can't but you would be at max on the dolly.

Curb weight of a 2008 200 is 5,690 lbs.
Long term, I would love a 70, but need to pull the 200 short term.

I found and purchased some Tundra 18" wheels. I couldn't pass them up. 120 for all 4 delivered. Once these tires wear out, I will be switching over. I have about 10K left. I appreciate it though.
