Well if you go to ARB 4x4 Accessories and do the 'accessorize your rig' option for the 200, you will see a pdf with part numbers as to what is avaialble.

They show the rear lockers to be part # RD64. No front lockers yet.

So it has started..... :clap::clap:
 
That's great news...but, when you contact ARB USA, the only thing they have is a roof rack - coming to the U.S. in 6-8 weeks. It is going to be half way through 2009 before this stuff hits our shores.

Just ticks me off that it is out there and they are touting it, but when you wanna get your hands on it, it's no where to be seen.

Contact the guys in Australia and have it shipped over.

With the cost of fuel and overseas shipping...I would rather wait!
 
What type did you order and from where?
 
OME Heavy springs for the 200. They are just rear springs. I think it is pt# OME723.

It looked like they had Medium (Stock) springs, and three weights of heavy springs. I went with the 440lbs (there was also a 880 and 1300), we don't do any towing so I don't need super stiff springs.
 
I am wondering if I would need rear springs. Obviously I started out with a MUCH heavier front end.

Thoguhts?
 
I would recommend rear springs because then you could possibly raise the front even more. You may want to call (skype) the guys in at ARB in Australia and get their thoughts on the rear springs on the new 200.

Good point. Something to look into. If I had a choice of rear springs or lockers though....here come the lockers!

You can have both rear springs AND lockers (unless the Mrs. has put an end or limit to the mods).

It is not the purchase of the items that kills me...it is the install costs. Alot of stuff, like you, I can do myself, but stuff like the lockers I would not even attempt.

So I have to almost double the costs of everything (just to be safe) when I purchase things.

Ah! Understood. I haven't taken my cruiser in for one thing. I have done it all myself. I'm not to keen on paying the install, just feels like wasting money...this is partly the reason I have no front bumper.
 
You could put the ARB bumper on at home with a few buddies. You'll need to carefully cut the plastic bumper, but otherwise it's not too bad. just heavy

we just installed one over at TLC in van nuys.

I also put the heavy rear ARB coils on and did that myself with a friend. we had a lift, but you could do it with some tall jack stands.

the heavy springs are great for towing, but too much for wheeling and I'm looking at stepping down to a lighter rate. I have the 880 rate and might eventually go to the 440. or get a big rear bumper.

I'm also hoping the lockers get here soon. I'm sure they will since the 200 is a very important vehicle down under.

I did my fronts with tall jack stands. I will do the rear that way too.

FCFRED...you have any pics of the ARB bumper? I would do it myself, but just scared to sacrifice the front bumper at this point. Maybe in a year or two.
 
Is there going to be a leveling kit for the 200 ? Or, is there one already out for the Tundra that should work? Nice thing about the T-bars on the 100 was the adjustability of the front rake .

:cheers:

I am not towing anything at this point so I am not too worried about the heavier springs. I might want to life the back up a bit more, not sure just yet.

I also did the fronts with jack stands. Would have been nice to have a lift thought :rolleyes:

Not willing to sacrifice the front bumper? I am disappointed.

With the heat we have out here, I am not wanting to get into it in 110 - 120 degree heat!

I was just teasing you...no biggie. I understand the hesitation of not wanting to cutup a brand new $70k vehicle :)
