Builds 2017 GX 460 (Now 2017 Tundra Build)

[r2m]

The 200 is 2" narrower, 2-3" lower and anywhere from 36"-53" shorter depending on the cab and bed configuration of the Tundra. I'll be honest though, the Cruiser does still feel large on trials, but not full-size truck large. When I miss having a truck I really only miss the convenience of the bed, in every other way I usually prefer the SUV.

If I'm not mistaken, I've hauled 4x8 sheet of plywood in my 100 series LC. Okay, it was a tight fit and hanging our the back... You should be able to do that with the 200.
Albeit, scraping raw wood over nice interior leather kind of makes my skin crawl.

I'll have to run a tape later and see exactly how it would work but you're right, I'm not quite to the point of sticking plywood in my Cruiser just yet lol. I do know that my Oztent will fit with the rear center seat pass through folded down without reaching the center console, so that's awesome.

***EDIT***

Just ran a tape in the back, you'd definitely have to go on top of the wheel wells in order to get a 4x8 sheet in there. You could possibly run with the tail gate up and the lift gate open with the plywood sitting atop the tailgate in order to keep it from sliding out the back but there's definitely not enough length to run it with the split gate closed.

Also...
On our old 100 series LC's, we've also been able to fit 9'-6" surfboards and paddle boards inside.
Yes, they had to lay across the top of the middle seat, on top of the front seats between the headrests and even on the dash with the tailgate just being able to close.
It was a tight fit and heaven forbid we ever had to stop short, it would have cracked our windshield.
But our beaches are very close that surf, so it was never like that for very far.

You are using that Gamiviti rack wrong lol. I hauled 600 lbs of lumber including some 4x8's on a few separate occasions on the roof. Rack solves most the issues I encounter where I needed a truck. I imagine a 200 series could haul equal amounts or more.

Picked these up. 18x9 scs ray10s. Traded for my old mountain bike haha. 35s going on tomorrow. Also installed sumosprings to help with our new travel trailer we plan to buy. Still very much enjoying the tundra size.

 

[CaptRussia253]

Got the new wheels installed on 35s. Cut my exhaust, cut brackets to fit 35” spare, deleted my tpms, collected some Ironman leafs to do an add a leaf. Been busy

I believe those will be my next tires for the Cruiser.

How’s the road noise?

How’s the road noise?

Quiet for a mud terrain. And surprisingly good in rain and snow.

Do it! Best tire I’ve owned.

Would you say it is louder or quieter than the Ridge Grapplers?

Never had them so no experience but will say the Yokohamas were designed with less road noise in mind.

Coolio!

The BFG M/T's are also quite.... until about half tread life.
CaptRussia235, give us an update after 20k miles or so. I love Mud terrains, but not the noise when they start wearing down. That's why I went with the BFG A/T's this time. (Not to mention it was one of the very few tires available late last year.)

 

[Tex68w]

I loved my KM3's as they were super quiet for a M/T. They didn't start to become "noticeable" until 25K miles and even then I thought they were more on the quiet side given what they were. But I fully intend to give the Yokohama's a chance this next time around.

I agree, the BFG's M/T's, when they do get noisy, still are not as loud as Swampers or other M/T's.
But one of the reasons I purchased our GX was for it's nice comfortable and quiet ride.

I don’t know why I do the things I do. After a few months on 35s I’m now saving up for 37s for the tundra my wife is pissed

Put your 35's up for sale here on MUD, I'm sure someone will pick them up considering they're pretty new, what, maybe 6 months on your truck?
