I'll take you up on that. Not sure when that will be but I'm thinking an evening next week for the snorkel?

I still think the best rims (no bias of course...)....

The last chassis vestige of the Land Cruiser heritage with the 200 series is, IMO, steel wheels.

I certainly do agree

Steel wheels are available, I was hunting them down for another customer. I've got another Cruiser running the utilitarian 20+ hole steel wheels, I dig them on old Cruisers but they don't work for me on a 200 but I can see how others dig them. I know where a grip of split-wheels are too but they might be 16" and won't clear the 200 brakes.
I could get into a black set of this style steel wheel

So is the draw to steelies because you can bang them back into round with a hammer on the trail?
Did you install a diff drop kit when you did your lift?
Thanks.
I did not and I don't know that I have any immediate plans to install. The CV angles at ride height are not drastic and I'm not getting sever boot chaffing like we see in some IFS lift CV's. I chatted with Christo about this subject and he didn't feel it was crucial enough on his own 200 either. It might be something I revisit as times goes on.
Thank you. It's interesting that many people are not installing diff drop kits when they do lifts on the 200. It seemed it was standard practice on the 100. I guess things have changed and the design is different on the 200. I am still debating whether or not to do one. My lift is going on in about a month.
