Cheap 200 comes home .. (1 Viewer)

[pdavis49]

This is sweet! I scored my 2010 with 238k at low price too. It makes emptying your wallet for all the goodies a little bit easier.
Have you considered the Kenda Klever 35x10.5 r17? I think that will be the next tire on my 200. I currently run Falken MT's and they are nice but a little noisey. Also have a set of the Nittos on my 80 and they have been really great. Prior I've only run K02's and still have them on our 100, ive got nothing but good things to say about those as well.

I have not looked at the Kenda Klever. Given you have run Falkn, Nitto, and K02, your opinion is definitely carries weight!

How many miles on your 2010 now?

12k miles on my Kenda skinny 35s .
if I was buying a set of tires today I’d buy them again.

Ko3 should be in wide sizes in a few months. Maybe wait and see?

I am the least satisfied with the Falkens, but that's still too be completely determined. I bought a brand new set of Nomad wheels and I still don't know if its the tires or the wheels but my tire shop struggled with balancing them, and I can tell one of the rear ones is not right.
I'm drawn to the Kenda's for two reasons. I had several pairs of their tires on my motorcycles over the years and always loved how they performed. People like @grinchy have really positive results and they are about the only brand that makes a skinny 35 which seems to work really well with our trucks.

We have had the 200 since March and only have maybe 2k since then. We are pretty good at cycling through our stable and admittedly my wife drives it more.

Now here is a question for you, what do you prefer more, the new 200 or the new 100?

Ha...well that's not how it comes from the factory. Guessing your's has had aftermarket on it at some point, and someone went back to "stock". Either that or there was a leak inside and someone was being sure to make sure the roof rack wasn't the culprit.

I suspect most of that will come off once you pull that mount, so in the end might not be as bad as it looks. The OEM method is basically a very small amount of "gasket" on the bottom of the metal bracket and then the rubber washers on the bolts that attach the bracket.

Definitely was leak I bet. Doesn't look like anyone has ever removed it.


How do you remove the middle part? I don't see anything on this

Once you remove that bolt, i believe it just comes off once the other two ends are unbolted.
