Let The Fun Begin

[Roy Park]

Well, I’ve been eyeing a 200 for a while now. The wait is over and I finally brought her home. A 2018 in Magnetic Gray. I look forward to reaping the benefits of this group and hopefully contributing once I get my feet wet.

Initially just gonna do suspension, skids and sliders. And then we’ll see how far my wife lets me go before she lets me go. Hahaha.

Congratulations! Looks like black interior? What are you thinking for tires and suspension?

Correct. Black interior. I have my stock Tundra LCA and TC heimed MT UCA from when I went LT in the Tundra, so I’ll probably do the Tundra swap. Debating if I wanna go King or Icon for the shocks. I like my King’s on my truck but considering trying Icon out for this use case.

Probably try to track down so Rock Warriors since the increased track width will likely preclude me from running +25 offset wheels. I’ll probably run 34” tires until I can get a sense for rubbing issues and do gears. I put the 4.88 in my Tundra and it made a huge difference running 35’s.

Looking forward to getting a bumper. Any status?

Not for the '18. The front is different. I can make one, but it'd take a couple of weeks with the truck.

Ah darn it.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Ah darn it.

I'm trying to rent one for a month from Toyota in Sacramento. It'd be 1800.00 for the month when they can arrange one.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled. Bumper isn’t a priority until I trash the stock one. Hahaha.

Both ARB and TJM offer a 16+ version of their bull bars.

Very nice.

Yeah. I really like the bumper @reevesci made for @TonyP. I’ll probably wait it out. #fingerscrossed

I think the bumper cover is the same part number as my truck but I'm not sure if there are structural changes? I'd be surprised... as it seems like most of the changes between 16s, 17s, and 18s are relegated to the interior, dash, and tailgate.

Heh, that was my plan as well... until they were trashed to the degree that there wasn't enough left for the bumper cutaway clearances. Oops. I ended up replacing both bumper covers a few months ago.

Great minds think alike. I’m also waiting to see if your truck passes smog with that aux tank. If so, that’ll go on my list. I got used to my 38 gallon tank.

If he's willing to do it custom, then ya. Good move. Tony's bumper was stout as could be, as I was a few feet from it banging stuff in Moab.

I want to have both versions for the 200 for the guys. If time allows, I will try to knock it out when @indycole has his up for the hidden winch plate and other items.

So my promise to not start modding the truck for a month, turned out to be a lie. Already ordered:

RW wheels
Prinsu Rack
Slee 2nd Battery Tray
IBS dual battery system
ARB twin and mount
White Knuckle Sliders
ARB Skids

Waiting for a return call re: the parts I need for the Tundra swap. Can't wait for the build to begin.

Some "lies" just can't be avoided...

Sounds like a great list!

How are you liking your TJM, now that you’ve had it a while? Still happy with it?

@Roy Park CBI for the front bumper. Cleanest 16+ bumper out currently. Won't find it on their website. Quick google search will remedy that.
