Anyone on here own the black heritage bought from Ed Martin toyota with temp tags in Memphis TN. Would love to ask you a few questions about your truck.

I like that light bar in the grille.
 
Same and I like the stance as well. Really hoping to find and meet up to take a look how all of it has been installed and see how it drives with the lift. Left a note but no dice so far.
 
Couldn’t you have looked at the shocks, UCA, tire size etc?

Looks like a Rigid Adapt light bar, a Trail Tailor hidden winch mount, Bud Built sliders and a Front Runner rack.
Since those are Heritage wheels with stock offset I’d guess it has SpiderTrax spacers.
Also I’d guess a BP51 lift.
 
I looked at all of it. It's got ome bp51 with spc uca, 285/65s, the 30in Rigid adapt light bar and a front runner roof rack. I can see it all day long but was hoping to talk to the owner the get his take on the suspension and rack regarding the ride and wind noise. Was really hoping to take it for a spin to get a feel before I start spending money on similar upgrades.

I don't know who owns it, but I've seen it driving.
I've seen yours too, unless there's another gray HE.
I've got a silver HE in midtown. Stock, for now.

Do you have a dealer in Memphis you trust for service?
 
Did you check out their YouTube page? They usually post up most of their builds. Lot of videos on there
 
I need too meet you others Memphis 200 owners. Im a local midtowner thats been building up a '13. :cheers:

I don't. Ive never owned anything new enough to warrant factory service and Im mostly a DIY guy. I am closest to wolfchase and was going to at least let them perform the included service up to 20k. After that itll probably be me doing most of the routine maintenance. My family owns stigler alignment in Memphis so I won't let Toyota touch my wheels to rotate or balance, they would do it wrong anyway.

I looked but didn't see this particular build pop up. I'm really interested in lifting mine and just was hoping to at least ride in one with the bp51s to feel the suspension and on road handling before I pulled the trigger. Would be cool to have a reference vehicle to see how the remote reservoirs were mounted too. I'll probably leave an additional note at a later date, rained the day I left the note and might not have been legible by the time he/she came out to the truck.

I'm always down to meet local cruiser folks. I'm out in Bartlett
 
it looks like this one.


Saw that one and thought the same thing. Very similar but the one here didn't black out the heritage edition badges on the sides and the one here has rigid reverse lights in place of the marker lights on the bumper.
 
I have enjoyed the same (BP51’s, SPC LCA’s, Spider trax spacers) suspension on mine, no ride complaints, no issues, and no regrets after ~10k miles. An added bonus is it eliminated the terrible stink bug that comes standard with a 2 row Heritage!

If I brave the bridge on 40 I will stop by for some Central Barbecue and you can take mine for a drive! I am not sure this poser pic makes it appear as level as it truly is, but was the easiest to find.

Did you do vinyl on the roof and rear spoiler?

Looks great - what size tires are those? 285/70s?

That truck looks amazing. Could have nabbed a white one but decided on grey. These pictures have me second guessing. Really like the look with the black roof and rack delete, it's just classy. Definitely let me.know of you're in Memphis anytime.
Side note, what window tint did you go with, that's next on my list.

Yes wrapped the roof, rear spoiler, and that small section in the front to break up the white,

Thank you! Yes Nitto's. My first experience with them, so far, so good after ~10k miles.

Thank you!!!

Mine is a 20' and white was slightly preferable to black, really wish I had done the same build with the 21' Silver and that was only because my wife has a 15' in Gray which would have likely been #1!

It is the 3M Crystalline, I have done it to other vehicles and it is as good as advertised!

Will do! Spent alot of time there in the past, missing a little Central Barbeque so will try to get by!!!

How did you go about covering up the roof rack foot mount holes? What was the cost if you don't mind sharing?
