What began as a purchase of my dream vehicle I was able to buy a brand new '13 about 2 years ago. I was on cloud nine to bring this baby home. I started with basic mods and finished up all major mods yesterday.
Installed in chronological order:
- Front window tint to match rear
- Weathertech front, rear and cargo
- Clear bra on hood, side mirrors and under door handles
- TRD Rock Warrior wheels paired with 285/70-17 Toyo AT2
- Powder coated RW black
- Custom White Knuckle sliders
- ARB BP-51 with 2722 springs in rear
- ARB Winch Bar
- ARB Intensity 7" Flood and Spot combo
- Updated tires to 34" BFG KO2

Finally got my very own 200!
White Knuckle Sliders Installed
6 month decision on wheels and tires! Whew!
The final installment was the BP-51 and ARB bumper install by Slee. As most of you already know they were top notch start to finish. Explained every little detail and answered all my questions. After 2 long days my rig was finally complete. I was completely in the dark how my rig would ride after the lift. I chose the BP-51 based on the advice of Slee and as much information I could find online. I was initially planning on the basic OME set up but I wanted to ensure my ride was not compromised. The ride home from Slee is about an hour and the ride was like driving a Lexus. It literally drives like butter... I couldn't believe how smooth and how much improvement was made. I fully anticipated it being stiffer and would have to get use it. It is unbelievably smooth. Almost too smooth that I want to adjust the settings to make it a little stiffer and feel like a truck vs Lexus "Comfort Mode". The body roll and dive is eliminated and just feels amazing. I couldn't be happier with my choice. Slee got my pre lift body lean eliminated. My back rear was about 1" lower. It is now level side to side. They also put some nice stuff on my KDSS valve to ensure no rust in the future. The caster was perfect and they said they typically don't get it as perfect as they got mine. My truck was destined from the start! Ha I gained 3" on the front and 2 3/4" in the rear.
Overall I am absolutely thrilled with all my choices. The ARB bumper with updated fog and indictor lights look amazing and the ARB intensity lights give off amazing light which are wired with a matching oe style switch. I can now say I am Ouray ready. I owe a lot of thanks to many of you for recommendations and advice especially the whole Ouray crew (you know who you are), Slee Off Road, White Knuckle and MSCruiser
