Hit up T4R.org, great guys there with a ton of helpful information.
that's my new pinstripe
it'll buff out!
I don't, but I can find out, he said they had been drilled to fit multiple different lug patterns, think he had 8 total holes in the rims, seemed weird
tough to say as different vehicles shined at different moments, but no question your ranking is very close to what I would say overall. The jeep had lockers and the advantage of massive articulation. I would actually say the 200 can hold with the jeep as far as rear articulation but not on the front. The Jeeps wheelbase is slightly longer than the 200, but only a couple inches, was not a factor due to lift and 35's. The front and rear lockers on the Jeep came in handy but at times climbing over super wet tree roots the "crawl control" almost appeared to work better(IMO). So I guess overall the win would go to the Jeep(although it did not go anywhere that I could not). Second place is a close tie I would say, with "crawl control and KDSS the advantage for articulation goes to the 200 forsure. But the Tacoma with it's 6 inch lift and 35's simply had more clearance at the frame and approach and departure angles. Even though it had a longer wheel base it did really well. I think if push came to shove the 200 would top the Tacoma in most situations due to wheelbase, traction and articulation. The Tundra and 4Runner both struggled, and for different reasons. The Tundra had traction problems and size problems, it was just simply to damn big. The 4Runner had the benefit of a good driver and someone who would not take no for an answer
Both had noticeable traction issues when tires came off the ground, rear locker, crawl control etc would be nice on both! I would give 4th place to the 4Runner only because it's smaller and more nimble. The trail we ran with this mix of rigs really showed you how much "wheelbase", "articulation" and "traction" affect everything. I will be taking the 200 out with the Jeep again in the coming weeks, in my head(I drank a lot of coolaid) I truly believe if can go anywhere the 4 door jeep can go, time will tell... to be continued....
When he bought it two years ago I don't think he was thinking about down the road, was thinking about the price difference... Proly wishing he had the trail addition now... A lift, rear locker and new tires and I think it will be pretty capable! The trail 4Runners are awesome!
no way
200 can do pretty much everything a jeep can do and doesn't bust and is way more comfy! The Jeep broke the very next day after this trip, not kidding
