New 2014 200 on the way

[jsuthey]

I personally have a can of this at the house: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Rust-Ole...3696&wl11=online&wl12=106628620&wl13=&veh=sem
have removed many a sticker with it!

Thanks for the info,I just used a regular hair dryer real quick then followed w a little goof off! Sticker came off real quick.But I will be sure and get some of the adhesive remover.

I paid $55 for my ‘14 that came with 38k back in August. Though it needed new tires and rotors turned. So you got a good deal with those lower miles!

Identical color too! : )

I love it.

Congrats on yours.

Hey Stridertexas,yea great color right! Ok so yours had 38k so I'm assuming tires were stock and it needed front pads so you had rotors turned? Or was there some hwy vibes? Not sure of our front pad thickness and when we need to replace.But sounds like you got a real nice truck! What kind of tires did you end up going with? Here's what mine look like Right now not sure if they are stock?

Nice! Any chance you were driving toward San Jose on 17 last Sunday around 11:30 AM? I was on my way over to Aptos St BBQ and saw a silver 200 going the opposite direction.

So tires were stock, pads had been replaced, but steering wheel shook above 50mph when braking, so I had all 4 rotors turned.

I went with Michelin M/S’s I love them and couldn’t be happier. I changed the size from stock sizing b/c They’re cheaper.

Hey indycole,ha that's a good eye! Yea that was definitely us coming back from the city.We just got off 280 and we were headed to the Habit in Campbell to grab some burgers! We just had a Habit open up on ocean st in Santa Cruz,going to have to go there soon.What were you driving? I'm always spotting Cruisers!!!Must have missed ya!

So what size did you go with? Michelins are great tires,iirc they were stock tires on the FJ80's.I always liked them but never bought a set,just a big BFG AT's fan.So well be looking to replace ours soon on the 200.Not sure what brand stock tires are on 200's? Mine came w the Bridgestone Dueler H/T's 285/60-18's.Glad you got the new tires and rotors sorted out,you will be good for a long time!

Hah, what a coincidence. I was in our grey 200 series as shown in my profile picture but the RTT is not on the truck right now.
