After a long LC hiatus, I finally got a 200!

[jdlc1406]

Hello! After an 80, and a 40, I finally broke down and got a 200. I have missed having a Land Cruiser! I found an '08 with 74k miles and snatched it up.

It's in very good shape. It could use some new tires and window tint. I'll post some more later after work.

What are some of the first things you guys have done with a new 200?

Welcome back!

Sounds like you found a good one with low miles for an 8 year old truck. I bought my grey, stock 08 last year, and it now has a little over 70k on it.

We're basically twins...or would have been a year ago.

A year ago, mine looked exactly like yours.
A few mods later...and this is now:

Nice Markuson! I was trying to get a gray one, but the deal never came through.

The metallic blue isn't my favorite color, but Land Cruiser was my favorite choice. You give a little to get a little

It should look a little better after some tint and tires.

This is a WORLD of a difference from the 40 I drove daily for two years. haha. It's a lot more luxurious than I expected. A little plush. But she'll break in It's a daily driver. I work in civil construction as a PM and needed another 4wd vehicle. There was only one option!

Oh, the fridge is pretty cool.

metallic blue

My first truck was a dark blue metallic. I loved that color. Congrats!

I like the blue. It's unusual. Don't think I've ever seen that in an LC.

Thought I wanted a silver 200 like the 100 I drove for 14 years...but the grey has grown on me.
Silver and light blue mask dirt pretty well. Not as hot as black or my grey under the hot sun.

Nice, thats the first Pacific Blue 200 Ive seen on Mud I think. I looked at one right before I bought my white one. Would like to see it with tint and tires. Ive thought about plastidipping the wheels on mine in a metallic gun metal gray, I think that would look good on the Pacific Blue too.

Nice pick up; congratulations...

For me, first things were:
-Wheels/Tires (or at least tires),
-Suspension/Lift
-Sliders
-Skids

I only completed this list a few weeks ago about a year after buying my 08.
Enough to go wheeling without screwing things up. Really looking forward to Ouray.

Websites say it's 285/60-18. Do 275/70-18s fit just as well? Just a wider tire?

Nice get.

The blue color for the 200 seemed a little odd until I saw a 60/62 wearing a similar shade and now it makes perfect sense. A bit of an homage IMO. Now I think its one of the better colors on the 200.

I like the blue. Nice truck sir, enjoy!

 

[Rigger]

The blue is a very nice color!

Good score, sir!

Congrats, we have the same color... 2009 that now has 127k miles. I didn't love the color at first but has grown on me. There's actually a 100 in our small town that's the same color.

 

[nuclearn8]

congrats on the LC. love that color!
Do yourself a favor and treat the interior with Leatherique. Be patient and it'll be like new again, soft and supple.

The rare blue beast show's itself.

Congrats!
