My new LC 200

After much back and forth on my decision making, I ordered a white LC 200 from @Eric Sarjeant. Getting full chrome delete, blacked out trim. Headlights blacked out. Heritage grill, blacked out. OME BP-51 2" suspension, UCAs. Slee sliders. Black BBS rims. NITTO Terragrappler LT285 65 18. Holding off on any rack or other options until I decide what I want.

I was going to get a Heritage. But I have 3 kids and use the vehicle to haul people as much as any kind of gear. Plus, my LC has always been my college football tailgate truck. We pack 7-8 people in it to drive to football games at times (8 if 3 kids in the back row). So, I need a third row at times. Plus, I like my cool box.

Anyway, I will post some pics as it gets built.

(Edited bc the back and forth was me deciding, not back and forth with Eric)

sounds like a great build! Only thing i'd add/change is going with 17" wheels to get that extra sidewall height. Rock warrior's 1st choice, Icon 6 speed and Dakar Evo Corse tied for 2nd place. It also saves your a few hundred dollars on tires each time in the 17" size.

Nice!
Personally I love my coolbox... and I’d wager you will too. Plus, with third row you can stop strapping g kids to the hood, etc.

Thank you. I know you dudes love those RWs. It’s all I can do to get down to an 18” rim! I’m trying. Don’t hold it against me! My current LC has 20s.

Volk TE37s?

Much better than 20’s for sure. I know quite a few happy with their 18’s

Who said money cannot buy happiness

Money can buy LC 200s and that's pretty much the same thing!

Just got a call that the Heritage grill will be here tomorrow. There were some issues getting it but now they have it correctly identified.

Sorry to highjack your thread. Just wanted to ask @Eric Sarjeant a question. How do you remove the chrome trim pieces under the rear tail lights? It looks like maybe they can just be popped off with a trim tool?

 

[dnh1]

You’re not man. That’s interesting to me too as to how they do it.

 

[dnh1]

Here’s a pic with some tools in it. Maybe some clues as to how they do it.

I have a video of them removing the rear door panels. They just pulled them off.

1. Remove taillights from vehicle.
2. Remove the Philips head screws from the chrome trim pieces.
3. Use a soldering iron to melt the plastic “pin” tab that is plastic welded from the factory.
4. Remove the chrome trim piece from light. No pry tools necessary.

Congrats on the new Truck. White on the 2016s and up look soooo good.

Alrighty then...mental note...don't change out the chrome trim by myself.

Thank you. I haven’t had a white truck of my own since my 1987 4Runner I drove in high school. I believe it will look good with the black. I hope so anyway.
