Hey everyone!
After many years of wanting a 200, we finally managed to wrangle one. She is an Onyx Blue 2020 and we have had her for about a month now. With two kids and a 3rd on the way, we were looking for something that was safe, had 3 rows, reliable, and could still take the family off-road, overlanding, and camping. It wasn't hard for us to come to conclusion that the 200 was the vehicle for us. Previously owning a 2017 FJ Cruiser, a 2001 100 Series, a 2015 TRD Pro 4Runner, and currently owning a 2018 TRD Pro 4Runner, we are not strangers to Toyota 4x4s in the slightest.
Not intended to be a poorly executed flex shot! LOL
I have temporarily mounted our ARB fridge until I figure out exactly how the rear cargo area is going to come together while still leaving the ability to use the 3rd row quickly.
Sadly, we sold our Inferno Red 2015 TRD Pro 4Runner to make the 200 obtainable. She will be missed!
Plans for the 200 are extensive but will remain mild for a while. We have some Rock Warrior wheels and 285/75 BFG K02s currently on the way and we are considering the various options to delete all the chrome. Additionally, right now I am trying to figure out which roof rack and sliders we are going to go with. Then maybe a few skids, a ham radio install, and some storage mods for the interior. We will wait until we no longer have to lift kids into car seats before we lift it since that is already challenging enough! The tires, sliders, and roof rack are most important since that will afford us the ability to start camping and overlanding with the entire family immediately more easily. With the interior being dedicated to mammals, the roof rack is critical to bring along the required gear. However, we know that a trailer will also be needed in the future since taking two adults, 3 kids, a friend or two of the kids, and a dog along camping means serious packing, and as such we are thankful for the V8. Previous to this truck, we had to take both 4Runners at the same time to get everyone out camping.
The 200 is incredible and we are loving every bit of it, except the front seats center console cup holders. As much as I complained about the same in the 100, I think these are even more useless! We are already thinking and scheming mods to the cup holders to make them more functional for things other than a Starbucks Venti Mocha Frappuccino. Like two 20oz double walled Yetis filled with bold black coffee that needs to be consumed with a fork and knife, the way coffee was meant to be had!
Looking forward to the adventures and engaging conversations here. Thanks!
