Builds Jmlockwood’s Heritage Build Thread (1 Viewer)

[jomelo]

My new Heritage Edition arrived last night so I decided it was time to start a build thread. I’m more active in some of the other series forums but not new to the 200 series. I have been getting a new one every other year since 2012 or so but have never done much to them other than a lift. I decided to do a little bit more to this one with the help of @Eric Sarjeant and some great mud vendors. Here is the truck as it rolled off the truck late last night.

The build will be complete before I take delivery so I am guessing several more weeks given the upcoming holidays. So far, this is what we have on the “to do” list:

Front ARB Summit bumper with 12,500 ComeUp Gen2 and ARB Intensity lights.
Rear Kaymar dual swing out thanks for @wardharris.
24 gallon LRA aux tank also courtesy of Ward.
OME BP51 lift
Slee sliders
Bud Built skids
ARB compressor
285/70/18 Nitto’s

I went back and forth about the wheels and ended up deciding to just keep the BBS bronze wheels. Eric ordered a fifth one so they will match all around.

The truck really won’t see a lot of use as I have several other cruisers (really its a disease). But I figured this would be a fun cruiser to drive once its built out.

Happily taking recommendations if anyone has any other favorite mods. I’ve been skimming around the 200 forum for additional ideas as well.

^^^ “addicted”....

Truth.

Looks like Eric will be doing all the new truck builds for members here. . Nice to have someone with an expertise.

My suggestion would be to give the terrain tamer suspension a try. Ward can source it for you. I am not convinced the bp51s are so great, but it seems very few folks have driven similar trucks with different suspension setups.

I gave some consideration to doing something different but ultimately decided to stick with what I know. I’ve had them on two other 200 series and also have them on two 80 series. The truck will only see a few thousand miles a year. Mainly just some random fishing and hunting excursions.

@Onur can you switch to a build thread?

@jmlockwood

A few ideas we spoke about

• rock rights. Wired to dome circuit for puddle light when unlocked, off when door shut/locked. Override for off-road use as true rock lights
• XPEL Paint protection film, rockers are a must, hood, front bumper, mirrors, door cups
• Formula One Ceramic tint
  
  Some more ideas to chew on:
• Color match the ARB recovery points to the bronze wheels. See pic below of another one we did with Tundra tow hooks for a Heritage, looks clean (need a slightly larger isolator)
• Lexus LX570 credit card key fob
• Rigid Adapt 30” light bar in front grill (only works with Heritage grill)
• @TRAIL TAILOR tailgate storage (in stock)
• Ceramic Pro Gold (9 layers of H9, 1 layer of base)
• Ceramic pro undercarriage
• Arb summit drawers (in stock)
• Dual battery, if so, lots of ideas. New Switch Pro and RedArc brackets will be done this week. I’ll text you what they look like
• Tech stream updates
• Drawer lights
• Extra USB ports
• Remote start/alarm
  
  
• 
  Look forward to the build. LMK if you think of anything else!

I knew there were a few other things we discussed.

Yes on the key fob and ARB drawers.

I recall thinking about the batteries but never made a decision. Will call you this week on it and some other things.

Eric, did you figure out what Lexus credit card fob works for 2020? I had no luck with programming the 89904-53512 on my 2020.

I haven’t yet, I’m glass you brought that up, I forgot you had trouble. I will know the answer this week.

Decided to also add a Prinsu roof rack to the build. Things seem to be coming along nicely with @Eric Sarjeant. Will be a tight delivery window with some trips I have later this year but really looking forward to getting the truck!

Never really considered how the ARB Intensity lights would match up with the ARB recovery points but I think it looks really sharp. Seems like everything is coming together pretty nicely so far.
