Cruiser or Bruiser?

[5ForFighting]

We're bound to bump into each other at some point, and now thanks to Tare (Newps), I know how to fix any resulting body damage with zip ties!

Crappy pic, but got tint: 80% front windshield and 30% everywhere else.

hey just came across this tread; the plastic bumper has to be taken off and then the tabs have to be take off the body part and then inserted into the removed bumper before putting back on to the body! if any tabs are broken (which often happens ) yu will get gaps. Not sure how late I am to this post but the body shop is probably looking for $$ in that they want to replace the whole bumper. A perfect example is the Australian Images 200 video of him installing an after market bumper it shows the plastic tabs.

Hey five, I am active on T4R.org (a.k.a mtn.rush over there) myself but not as much since I traded up to the LC. Didn't even realize you made the jump too, very impressive rig you got, job we'll done. Now all we need is Antman over here to show us the real potential of land cruiser mods, and titanpat is lonely here without him also......

Thanks! I don't know how long ago you made the switch, but I do know you're not regretting it

Anyone have suggestions for trails in the Crescent City area?

Thanks!

Thanks!

This used to be open to the public. You might have to get a permit to run it from the forest service now.

Hey 5, awesome rig man! I'm not sure if this was noted in the thread, but you mentioned using the OME HD rear coils. Do you know if those are the 2722 or 2723 coils? And also, under extreme front suspension compression, does it seem like the front tires will hit the front fenders? I can't really tell from the pictures. Thanks in advance for you input.

 

[5ForFighting]

Thanks...I wanted the stiffer ones (2273) due to towing. It's close on the front and if I hit something fast enough it feels like there's a rub.

Thanks man

View attachment 883584 It's a 2013 with KDSS. They had to take the truck to a Toyota dealership to reset the KDSS after the install. It cost around $200. I have had zero issues.

Suspension:

Front - ICON 2.5 Coil Overs
Rear - Old Man Emu HD Coils and Shocks

Tires:

Toyo A/T 2 325/60/18

Wheels:

Method Racing 304 (pic of label above)


The spare is located under the boot, but I kept the original.


I think you can order the same set up from someone local, not necessarily Outlaw. There was another member who ordered from them long distance (I'm not sure why you'd want to pay a middleman) and he wasn't happy with the service.

HI

Great looking 200!
I was just wanting to clarify, you did not put UCA's on, you have 325 mm wide tires, and you have no alignment issues at all with Bruiser? Thanks!

2013 NASH 23F - Off Grid/Off Road/National Park Ready

Price is meant as a starting point and is negotiable.

The trailer is outstanding and has kept us comfortable for 3 seasons. The LC pulls it amazingly well - we just came back from a 4 week, 4,400 mile trip through Washington and Oregon. Like the ad says, even camping in National Parks with heavy tree cover, the solar panels kept the 6V batteries charged without an issue. We only used the built-in generator to power the microwave on nights we got back too late (and hungry) from hiking/off roading to cook.

I'm including the hitch set up tuned to the LC 200 and all necessities to go out immediately.

The only reason I'm considering selling it is that we have 3 kids and looking to switch to a bunk model.

So, any thoughts on what I could ask should I decide to part ways with the Bruiser?
