Here is my new (to me) LC200 2008. Still have my '98. :-)

[COLandCrusher]

I just finished purchasing and shipping this LC200 here to Colorado. I bought it from Virginia, and I think one of the previous owners was a IH8Mudder. This is my '08 200. Black, with a sand interior. The PO had 275/70/18 BFG KO2 tires on original Tundra rims, I changed the rims to KMC XD Monsters. It had missing knobs on the seat heaters, so I am waiting for a ebayer in Asia to send a new aftermarket switch so I can pull off buttons and put them on. I also had to put in a battery as I think it was OE. and the gas door would not open all the way, and when I tried to manually adjust it, it broke off in my hand. So now I wait for the dealer to send me a new door so I can take it up to Euro collision for paint. Also, getting the front windows tinted to match today.
I LOVE the rig. The seller was great to work with, and I could not be happier. So one item-The tires rub the back of the wells in the front. How best to solve that?

Remove the mud-guard behind front wheels as many of us end up doing. Most likely hitting that rather than the wheel well...

And...congrats!!
I drove my fully-built '99 100 series all over tarnation and loved it, but wow. The 200 is NICE, isn't it? The POWER increase is pretty astonishing.

C u around!

man that photo looks terrible. The mud guard removal seems the best way to go. I'll check this out this weekend. I'll try and get a better pic uploaded as well. thanks guys! cannot wait to get it offroad!

yeah, I tried to sand down the mud guard but it still rubbed, so before I ruined it, I removed them. It's really not even noticeable! I used some gorilla tape to cover the small opening so snow and mud does not get stuck in there. Easy fix. Thanks!
