I agree, going to regret ditching the Gray - wish scratches didn't show so well and bother me as much.
Has been interesting wrenching on a 2016 and 2017 side by side, really noticing how different people wear on their trucks and very slight differences in oem build parts - like the 2017 has different cargo door gas struts. Also while expected, underbody condition is surprising between a Colorado and Texas truck even being a year older.
Gotta decide on suspension today, looking forward to moving over the wheels.

After much deliberation and finding a pretty good deal (~$1800 off), I decided to go nuts and ordered Icon Stage 6 a few days ago. It's still pricey and I wouldn't have done this kit at full price, really hope it exceeds expectations. Also hope the 3.0's aren't too stiff.
Once the weather clears I'll move the Compressor and Dash cam from Gray to White while waiting for other mods.
Speaking of, I've posted the 17 for sale here:

Thanks for the share Kromealt and the transparency on the 2017. I am sure it will sell quickly. Working on buying my first LC200, have a few around the country identified, just need to pull the trigger (and ask forgiveness from the wife).
Keep on posting as you progress on the 2016 build. There are a couple of white ones in my search. Was one posted up here not too long ago with the bronze method wheels, terra interior, white out of TX that I wish I would have picked up. Nice build.

Glad I found your thread, definitely takes the raptor off the table!!! The 200 search continues (at least when 2016+ prices come down slightly).

Small update from the most indecisive person on this forum...
I cancelled my Icon order after more consideration of digressive and progressive preference which brought me full circle back to King/Fox. Since Fox offerings are limited and I want more than 0-2" max lift, that left me with giving King one more chance but I had to be smart and plan it out. Also, having experience with the standard 2.5 resi clickers that I ran on my 4Runner my primary goal was to avoid the excessive amount of preload needed to hold 2.5-3" of front lift with armor on a 700lb spring.
After tossing it around with King this is what I have ordered:
F King 3.0 on standard 700lb spring (among other benefits, 3.0 is a 15" spring with less preload vs the 14" on 2.5s)
R King 2.5 clickers - I really don't feel 3.0 is necessary for the rear, heck 3.0 is overkill for the front without armor
OME 2723 Springs
SPC UCA - tried and true
Oh and I ordered White Knuckle sliders...Bud was a very close second. I should update first post

I may have missed it, why the switch to the '16? Color preference?
Also, still selling your EVOs? I'm down in Denver.

Post #51 explains the change
EVO's and tires are on Craigslist Foco/Wyoming

Lack of reading comprehension, thanks!

Here are a few pics of my white '17 I had built up. SDHQ did most of the work on it. Great guys to work with.
I went with the ICON stage 6 suspension. There is a link to my build on their website if you want some ideas.

Hey, I'm in Seattle so a bit far for me to pick up. But I have a question. Where do I get the TPMS sensors? I'm looking for wheels and these may be the ones I go with due to the close to stock offset.After much deliberation and finding a pretty good deal (~$1800 off), I decided to go nuts and ordered Icon Stage 6 a few days ago. It's still pricey and I wouldn't have done this kit at full price, really hope it exceeds expectations. Also hope the 3.0's aren't too stiff.

My lord that is pretty. Looking at your FS....we may be talking soon.
Looks like both your trucks are for sale now at a Ford dealership in Ohio...did you get rid of both of them? Were you having issues or something? Curious how they went from Wyoming to Ohio...
Interested as well, the white appears to still have the King shocks for under $60k, intriguing.
