I was lucky and paid $400 for a set of TRDs. They're rough and at the powdercoater now.

If these come in the 5x150 I will get them instead of the rock warrior level 8 pro's

i found a set just this afternoon. The seller told me they were still for sale. I'm waiting for him to call back and I can hopefully make arrangements with him. I will have to drive about 5 hours each way though. :-( I'll take the subaru, it gets 38mpg

EDIT: Nope, deal fell through. Still on the lookout! Found some in Michigan and Ohio; wont do me much good; too far away

Check these out. http://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/4827638196.html

Since this thread has turned into a "help me i want these rims..."
I guess I'll join in, aussie brethren please help, what wheels are these?

They look like the Sunraysia but can anyone confirm if it's this brand or another

Desert Nomad - I've read this guy's buildup on the lcool website, and he said they were just plain steel rims. Sunraysia is just how everyone describes a steel rim over here, but they can be made by many manufacturers. Allied Wheels, Dynamic & King Wheels might be worth a look.

They are gone.

I've got another deal with a guy that doesn't live too far from my parents house. Not an incredible deal by any means, but not a bad deal either.

Thanks for the info. I liked them as they look like the steelies of the older cruisers.
They're cheap, look good (in my opinion) and as they're steel robust enough. I'll try contacting the manufacturers, the only issue is to find reasonable shipping rates.

Around 9 years since the first spy shots of the 200 surfaced on the web. How time flies....

I know this may seem like a weird request. But does anyone have pic of their original window sticker for a 2008 or 2009? Or perhaps someone could just tell me the original stick price on these? I search last night for quite some time and was unable to track it down. I tried edmunds, msn autos and a few others as suggested on the interwebs....no luck. Maybe my google fu just sucks.

Thanks.

 

[dukmon]

I'm behind on my Google payments and cannot perform any search at this time.

 

[MScruiser]

I looked too and couldn't find one.

I have the window sticker for my 2011, but that obviously won't help you.

 

[TJsTACOMA]

 

[MScruiser]

Thats a 2007.

 

[options2]

Thanks for looking. But yeah, looking for a 200 series sticker from the first couple years. Thanks again though.

Not a 200 but good lord this machine is wicked.

 

[GX-R]

This has been bugging me for a while now, when i previously lifted my 200 ( around 3 inches in the rear) the whole rear end shifted to the passenger side and it was very noticeable after i got wheel spacers. The left rear tire was sticking out the fender much more than the right side.

Do i have to get an adjustable panhard rod if am going to install a spring that lifts the rear 2 inches or more or can i remedy this issue another way?
Could it have been a case of improper installation?
I do not have this issue with my 100 or maybe it is not as noticeable?

 

[Willy beamin]

Maybe the icon rear trailing arms might help. They are adjustable. Look at that as a possibility along with your pan hard bar. Good luck

 

[GX-R]

I installed the ICON trailing arms.

Anyone here have this installed?

 

[GX-R]

Anyone have any experience with Proflex or Reiger shocks?
How do they compare to ICON and King ?

 

[BulletHead]

The trailing arms will correct any issues with the axles not being parallel to each other but looks like GX-R's axle has shifted laterally where one rear wheel may be sticking out too far? If I understand it correctly. Did the panhard correct the issue?
