I hope they bring the Heritage Edition to the U.S.

I would not hold my breath on TJM products right now.

And with that..just got an updated delivery ETA on the TJM: June 7th now

Looking for alternatives. I've asked Proline if they can build their Rallye style for a 200, similar to this:

Happy birthday to @Expat93

So I was driving from Atlanta to Jackson yesterday, and passed a convoy of HMMWVs on I20.

I was actually looking down at them as I passed. I had no idea that my 200 was bigger than an H1 until I drove next to one.

I think with 35's and your lift yours looks huge. Post some pics of yours next to a stock 200.

How about next to a stock 570?

Mama & papa bear....ha ha

Some of you have gotten screaming deals on Rock Warrior rims. Never happened for me.

I got a set in ID for $700. Four rims + lug nuts. No TPMS stems, and no tires. That is the best I could find.

 

[MScruiser]

You didn't get fleeced too bad @Rigger , but you sure didn't do that great either. Its all water under the bridge now though! You now how Rock Warriors, and that is all that matters.

Gangsta!!

 

[Rigger]

There's a set for sale in Denver right now on CL. $950. Includes tires, and, I assume, TPMS stems. But it would take me a day of travel to get down there and back, plus $150 in gas. So they aren't such a great deal for me either, I guess.

But, as you say, I got 'em so it's water over the dam.

Looks great!

Haha you must have been on full lock getting in that spot. The 200s are notorious for laying down rubber at ridiculously slow speeds

 

[MScruiser]

Ha. Nope, just drove through a puddle...I mean crossed a river....cough

@codyaustin5 did this for me, so now its time to pay it forward:

So a Salsa Red 2008 just popped up for sale about 2 miles from my house. It looks like it came from a family with kids, but here's the catch: It appears to not have rear DVD controls, so I think it is safe to say that it does not have a DVD system. Since it doesn't have the DVD, then it most likely does not have the cool box either. And even has the leather steering wheel!

Now I know some of you have been looking for something like this. If anyone here is ACTUALLY serious about looking at it closer, let me know, and I can take a closer look at it.

Its priced a bit on the high side. Right off the bat, I see it has the wrong wheels (are those 20" Sequoias???).

I bet you could negotiate a bit too.

That 08 is definitely missing the upgrade option package. Looks like it has the Nav package and rear spoiler only.

No rear DVD, no headlight washers, no cool box, no 2nd row seat heaters

Look closely at the pics. That thing has some serious wear and tear at only 74,000. Look at the drivers seat and volume controls on steering wheel. Mine at 64,000 looks almost new.
this truck would be a great one to negotiate on. "Owwww, it don't have the cool box thingie and DVD, guess I'll have to take my $34,000 somewhere else."
Wheels and tires are worth $1000 on ebay too.

 

[MScruiser]

My thoughts exactly.

I got my free personalized name decal/emblem from Toyota today. I am still deciding on where to put it. I think I will place it somewhere inconspicuously on the front of my bull bar (once I get one)
