Beating up Land Cruisers since 2015
I guess either my Yakima rack or my rotopax must have bounced on it. Not cool!
I guess I was lucky. These things took an unprecedented pounding. I was thoroughly impressed at how everyone's 200 held up.
Finally got around to washing the beast. Here's mine:
Every wheel looks like this
One semi-bad stripe. It should buff out though.
Sliders got a thrashing but saved my door
Slid into a rock. This was the first time I had to winch myself (and subsequently everyone else). Bumper saved the fender.
Rear bumper dragged hundreds of times. For example of the insane inclines note the scrapes on the bumpers shackle mounts
Need to retrim the bumper plastic, no idea how this happened.
And the "big" one. My gate no longer lines up on one side. I'm thinking the hinge got tweaked on one of the enormous hits I took. All other body lines match so the body is fine. I might swing by a body shop and have them see what's up. Worst case, '16+ rear conversion

We were wondering why none of the steel bumpers have rollers on the bottom like boat trailers or roll off containers. Might make it easier to "slide" off obstacles.
Every obstacle we hit demonstrated the toughness and build quality of these trucks. Still can't believe we did all that with no major damage.

Try loosening the bolts that attach bumper to bracket/ frame and see if things go back where they were? Looks like you guys went cowboy style? It's hard to like a damage post but as long as you had fun??

Other than the axle, and a trashed ridge grappler this seems to be the extent of my trail mods...
will be fun to bust out the heat gun and pop the plastic back into shape.

let everyone at work see it for what it is before you push the corners back out!
will be interesting to see if the white hides the scrapes better than the dark colors.
@kreiten post up the after trip bumper shot. I wish we could have lined up the three trucks with matching aerodynamic corners
Ken, if you can, snap a pic of your spare. I'm curious how it fared getting drug around all day.

Def more aerodynamiclet everyone at work see it for what it is before you push the corners back out!

I'll post a pic of it when I get home, it's pretty bad...LOL Here is what it sounds like when it crunches
Ouch. Sorry man. Def a disconcerting # if that's legit.
just lots of scratches and stuff under the rig, no major damage at all, and trust me I heard lots of sounds These rigs are absolute beasts!
These rigs are absolute beasts!
These Tupperware bumpers are pretty f'in strong, but we may be finding their limits
It's like Toyota knew we were going to end up doing this when they were testing the vehicle
it was a rough trip for GoPro's Em went down the waterslide at the Expedition Lodge with our GoPro only to realize the waterproof housing was not on it, OUCH! So we bought a new one down the street only to have it fall off the truck in BRK while wheelin and shatter the screen, OUCH 2.0 Long story short the old one turned back on and we bought a new screen for the new one for 17 bucks, back in the GoPro game!

Finally got around to knocking off some of the mud from Breckenridge. Not quite as aerodynamic as the Moab Tushy Tuck special, but I'm sure I'll gain at least 1/2 mpg in fuel economy.
Other than pinstripes and some slider scuffs only one real dent from my 18 days out west. Red Cone in my arse.
beautiful patina...
It's like a scar... makes for a good story when people ask how it happened.
All of you guys who "like" my damage must be real jerks!
