Exactlywhat's that, double what the hundred has
Ok.. So 26" at HTF at full droop.But you had me curious so I just went and mesured my current "lifted"setup. Its approximately
23" HTF at my normal ride height with 3" of droop.
Yup. Quick and dirty measurement though.Ok.. So 26" at HTF at full droop.
My point was really to say its not worth it (to me) to upgrade into the 200 series platform to be used for a trail rig for the reasons I mentioned- not doubting its capability; in fact I think its more capable in many ways especially (2013+) than a 100- but for me it’s cost prohibitive. (My heart yearns for a 85 mini truck with a tray to crawl around with)I never understood the misconception about the 200 over the 100 . The 200 is 1.6 inches wider and about 160 pounds heavier it is 4 inches longer on the same wheelbase. I started out before buying looking at 80's then 100's and landed on a 200 series. The difference is minimal. The cost overlaps a lot between all three. Now back to your regular thread.

Facelift year. A lot of interior upgrades and comforts. Wheeling wise you get a few more MTS modes and Crawl Control speeds. Plus turn assist.What happened in 2013?
@Kabanstva must work for kings chariot.100s are trash. Terrible vehicles. Send them all my way and we will figure out what to do with them! DM for details.
Quick and dirty
Front diffs. The Achilles heel of the 100. Weak case and carrier. Even the 4 pinion.
They are using aftermarket CVsI never dug into this further but on one of the 4x4 Action videos (Australia) the guys in the built up 200 following Shaun-o were snapping drive shafts on their 200 left and right seemingly. Any idea is that is common or what was going on there?
Ah, makes sense. Thanks.They are using aftermarket CVs
It is very rare to break a 200 CV. But good news is they usually break before the front diff acting as a fuse. Unlike the 100 where the OEM CV axles are stronger than the front diff.
