Would anyone with 200 series experience and knowledge of aftermarket upgrades be kind enough to test drive and look over this 200 for me? The next time I’m in San Diego, I will take you out to a nice meal. I’m not a fan of the 40gal. tank it has on it, so I would have to do a tire swing out for the spare. This would be my 5th 200 and made the biggest mistake last year selling my customized White 200 HE.

 
I’m in town and would be glad to help out. Just got my 200 but I’m pretty good at taking pics and asking annoying questions! Let me know.

Awesome! That would be fantastic. Please let me know when you can check it out. I’ll pM you.
 
Have whoever checks it out 100% verify its a real heritage, i think the only thing that cant be faked is the seat stitchin?

This company (and Miramar Motors or whatever it is now) are one in the same and InKahoots overpricing vehicles all the time.

Do your due diligence

It’s funny you say that because one thing I noticed was odd are the mirrors. They are painted all white. The carfax does say heritage and not sure if that can be changed
 
Reading the add stating that it comes with an extra set of wheels and "seat leather" is a red flag for sure...

Why on earth would you have a spare seat leather and foam on a brand new vehicle???

I'm calling fake, or at least something’s off for sure
 
It’ll be easy enough to compare. The cool box, seat stitching, and leather are the big ones but so are the grille, headlight, fog surrounds, rear carpet, etc. I’ll just pull my truck next to it.
 
I just spoke the dealer. Apparently the guy “his friend” whom is a local surgeon planned on keeping it for many years and purchased an extra drivers seat cover and cushion. The black mirror covers were replaced with white ones as the owner said he preferred it over black. He also purchased an extra center box cover arm rest. He bought a set of 17” wheels and had them shipped from Australia which is included with the truck. I’ll post some pics of the undercarriage he sent me.
 
Maybe someone can chime in here on these pics.

You’ll see the 17” wheel as well the guy order from Australia

They have the stock control arms by chance?

I wouldn’t put uniball control arms on anything, ever
He might have the stock ones but I do like adjustable UPC but uniball isn’t my favorite either. I had SPC on my previous 200 and was happy with them.
 
ran up and saw it this morning (already spoke with maverick):
Yes it’s at one of those turn and burn Toyota lots.
However the truck was incredibly clean. No leaks, no dirt, no rust, no scratches. Literally the only wear I found was a few scuffs on the front speaker grills in the doors. One owner, doctor, virtually no wear, yes it was a real HE (sticking, headliner, no cool box, etc), they used quality aftermarket parts, lots of brand new OEM spares including 17” OEM wheels and new tires. And the seat cushion thing I can understand, my truck has 60k and I was considering getting a proactive replacement lol.
All in all it’s a very clean truck and the market on HE’s is still crazy but I would be happy to own it. The only change I’d make is ditch the 40 gal LRA for a 12.5 and send it!

SD truck did all the work on it and I spoke to them and was told the owner of this HE is very meticulous to the 9th degree. dudemancool1904 did me a great favor. I am seriously chewing on it. I like the idea of a 40gal. tank but really the 12.5 is plenty and can keep the spare underneath, otherwise I’ll keep the 40gal. and add a dissent rear bumper and tire carrier

Awesome to hear that!

If SD Trux did the work. It’s good to go as far as I’m concerned
