Meet "Fat Amy" my Amazon Green 200 Series

[MScruiser]

Got my TJM T13 Outback Bar installed. The quality is excellent; much nicer than ARB. Installation took about 6 hours. I still need to wire the turn signals, but for now, I am happy with it. It feels weird to start a project and finish it in the same day; I can't remember the last time that happened!

Sweet. Wish they made one for my 4Runner.

Beastly

Andrew did you have to trim the oem bumper like an arb install?

 

[MScruiser]

No the TJM comes with replacement plastic fascia so no mutilating of the OE bumper. I painted mine to match. BTW, thanks @ntsaint for the advice on painting plastic. Turned out pretty good.

 

[ntsaint]

Good news. Hope it holds up well being on the leading edge of the rig.

By the way, your truck is a

It's starting to not look like a Highlander

 

[MEMCruiser]

Ouch. I think they look like a cross between a ford escape and the honda pilot. A silver Honda Pilot grill looks identical to the 200 grill. When I do mine it will still look like a highlander, no armor expect sliders this time around.

I really like the green color however it will l look rough once we get it pinstriped with a UBT in Memphis.

Forgot to ask...what winch did you go with? I don't see one in the pics

 

[MScruiser]

Havent bought one yet. Still deciding.

Winch will be next purchase, then sliders, lights, snorkel (maybe), dual battery, and roof rack. Then, as far as exterior mods go, that'll be it.

I still may pick up a set of nitro gears and locking diffs one day. That'll be pretty far down the road though.

 

[wngrog]

What gear ratio now?

 

[wngrog]

Roof rack next......

 

[fountainhead]

What gear ratio now?

Stock 200 gear ratio is 3.90:1, IIRC.

 

[MScruiser]

Can't recall, Nolen; I just know it would be nice to not be in the single digit MPGs in the city.

You can always get a Prius

 

[wngrog]

You figure in the cost of a regear and what minimal mpg gain you might get would never be made up.

 

[MEMCruiser]

What roof rack r u looking at? I'm gonna do that first. Wife will probably stop driving it that day.

 

[ntsaint]

FrontRunner or bust. Can't beat it.

 

[MScruiser]

Does the frontrunner have provisions for the sunroof?

 

[ntsaint]

Yes. You can install slats in whatever configuration you want. Lots of people leave the two above the sunroof off, works fine.

Mine are installed, because honestly with the sunroof open at anything more than 35-40mph the wind noise gets bad. Zero wind noise with the sunroof closed. Even with the expo rails, awning, hi-lift, and a ton of gear stuck on my roof, I get NO noise.
