As a few know I bought tampacruisers 2008 Landcruiser.

Until last night I had only sat in the front seat of a 200 one time, never driven one, never worked on one.

Coming from a heavily modified 100 series this thing is light years ahead.

Pre installed mods are (if I remember them all)
TJM front bumper
Kaymar rear bar
Slee sliders
Bud built stage 3 full aluminum skids
Nitro 4.88 gears
Harrop rear e-locker
LRA 24 gal aux fuel tank
Tough dog suspension
Rock warrior wheels and 285/70 nitto g2
Pedal commander

I bought it sight unseen and it’s everything it was supposed to be. I had it shipped directly to my window tint guy and had the windows all retinted with 5% ceramic and 35% ceramic on the windshield. It’s my style, I know some will judge but I hate sunglasses.

My girlfriend drove it as we delivered a car to the detailer for my boss. She continued to drive it for the rest of the night and wouldn’t let me in the driver seat.

I turned down the pedal commander because she has a heavy foot and she was very pleased with it. To the point when we got home she said “ok let’s sell my Jeep and keep both Landcruisers”. The original plan was to sell my 100 series after purchasing this one and swapping some things over. But sounds like we are selling the rubicon and having two cruisers now.

Throughout the 100 miles we put on it yesterday I noted a couple things I’d like to change.
First I’d like the small fog lights in the tjm to come on with the factory switch, they are currently on a factory style push button and constant powered. Not a big deal, couple wire swap and I’m good to go.
Other thing is I’d like to have the LRA switch on 12v switched power not the constant like it is. Also not a huge concern, just a simple fix.

Overall this rig was done very right And the installs are very well executed.

Pictures of how it sits today before I start changing things.

Plans of right now are

-Swap my 285s and wheels off my 100 onto the 200. I also backordered some 35s today so they will go on when they arrive.
-Install my kaymar passenger swing out I got from LRA
-Install warn evo12s
-Install dobinsons drawer I ordered from Jason at ozark overland outfitters
-Dual battery setup
- swap tent/ awning/ fridge from 100
- peel hood wrap
- full paint correct / ceramic coat


- Enjoy it.

sounds like you'll need another 200, this one was spoken for. . .
 
Swapped the wheels, removed front mud flaps.
These are 17x9 0 offset. Currently a 285/70/17 and zero rubbing around town.

Who makes that rear bumper? Is this also TJM like the front?
 
Looking good, really like those wheels!
 
How do you deal with all the dark tint at night? I have 5% on the back, and had 35% up front, but I couldn’t make it work at night, had to go clear ceramic on the fronts and windshield - is there a trick I’m missing here?
 
I am digging that Kaymar setup. While I like the purpose of a hood wrap (to reduce glare) I prefer it to be a trimmed design vs. wrapping the entire hood, simply for aesthetics. I agree that it looks better on your 200 completely off than having the entire hood wrapped. The gloss white paint is one of the worst for hood glare, on my RAM 3500, which has a long flat hood, the glare was unbearable mid-day. Here was my solution for that.

I get that comment ALOT but honestly I guess I’m just used to it. I will say having them all dark makes it easier than just some dark.

I also dim my dash lights and can turn off the screen to help. Interior light seems to hurt when you have dark tint. To me it makes it harder to focus.

I agree. However I have not noticed any noticeable glare on the 200 hood

Agreed, the muscle humps and forward sloping angle of the 200 hood aren't as much of an issue.
