By now, you all know how good I am at coming up with hare brained ideas, so here's my latest:

Sell my '03 and buy a newer 200, like say a '15. Got my '08 modded but keep the new one stockish. I drove the '03 (Hundy) the other day. Realized that I like the 200 much more. It'd be cool to have two 200's.

Go ahead, flame away.

You're in the 200 forum. You'll get nothing but acclaim and praises for that decision here.
If this was posted in the the 100 forum... the outcome might be slightly different.

 

[Rigger]

Hmmm. Might find a buyer over there too.

Man, you have both already...so you know. If you can afford it? Why not? Having owned a 100 til it was 16 years old...it was great...but the 200 is just plain better in every respect in my opinion...except for its lower-hanging butt.

Has anyone successfully run Rock Warrior wheels on a 2016 or 2017? I'd like to assume they fit but the rotors are larger than earlier versions, though I've heard the rotors are the same size as Tundra which are obviously where the wheels are coming from, but I haven't been able to validate the model years of the RW and those rotors.

yessir. running them on my '16...

** EDIT ** doesn't change the answer, but the tech that was mounting them and moving my TPMS sensors from stock to the RW wheels was shocked that they fit... there's isn't much room. "isn't much" isn't the same as "ain't none" - they do fit.

Awesome, thanks!

Is this normal for oil pressure gauge to be this low, seams weird to me?

 

[ikeb]

mine never moves from that position... there's a thread on here stating similar from others.

 

[ikeb]

Normal oil pressure?

 

[A10Driver]

Normal oil pressure?

Thanks

A buddy of mine took a trip with me in the 200 and is sold, but can't do it now as he's between jobs. Didn't stop him from setting out on a 25 day road trip from West to East (what else does one do between jobs). He's been bouncing along BLM spots up the left coast, got a message this morning that read "should have gotten that 200".

He's sitting here waiting for tow truck.

That was a terrible idea.

 

[Canyonero]

I guess that's an "almost" Allroad. Guessing there are not MaxTrax in the back of that thing.

 

[KLF]

That's hilarious...

Not to derail the topic guys - but has anyone stumbled across a DIY for removing the factory roof rack off a cruiser/lx570 and installing a frontrunner one?

I saw the instructions on frontrunners site for installing a new roof rack but I'm seeing things about removing the headliner to get the factory roof rack off and I'm a little weary of doing that without pretty decent instructions. I guess you could say I prefer books with a lot of pictures lol.

Oh so funny on a personal level, like "the trail is over there"

 

[Mogwai]

$350 idea. I'm sure if he arrived by day he wouldn't have continued but don't think he saw it last night. Live ya learn. And I assume we'll welcome him to the board w/in the year haha...

No shovel, no treads, no straps, didn't even know where his tow hook was (hidden deep w/in rear spare compartment). I guess when you're not really going off road but sorta going off road you don't pack these things??!?!?
