Builds SLEEBUILT Heritage Edition

[Eric Sarjeant]

This is a build that I commissioned to @sleeoffroad to do for Ed Martin Toyota. The idea started in October 2019 and completed this week.
It's a very special project to me because of the legendary brand Slee has created over 20+ years. As well, they are an instrumental vendor to us for creating the projects we do each month. I want to shout-out a HUGE thank you to Christo, Ben, Armory, and the entire team for all the hard work on this project. CHristo will post the video walk around soon.

I'll refrain from posting any more pics. Instead Christo can post a link to his blog post built write up with all the pics. FWIW, this vehicle never made it back to Indiana, it sold today a few days before it's ship date. Buyer is picking it up from Slee Offroad.

 

[LCtoLX]

It never even made it to your lot? I envy that buyer.

Great job and beautiful!

Cheers,
John

Amazing build, and Slee is a truly world class organization. They have this guy who's pretty good at designing stuff for the 200 named Jackson who keeps a low profile but has a huge impact on the community - not just the 200 community but quite literally on wheeling as a whole as the Rising Sun commander (aka president), off road instructor, teacher, leader, guide, friend and more. You all know him as @use2bn83 and if you look at the 200 products Slee makes, you already know his work

Also a shout out to Brian at Slee - I don't know if he's on the forum, but if you've had work done your 200, he likely turned wrenches to make your truck better. I'm sure he was around to help make this build happen as well. I personally witnessed Brian replace an exploded 100 CV in the mud in the middle of nowhere faster than most mechanics can knock it out in a pristine shop with every fancy tool known to man. Like I said @sleeoffroad is as good as it gets!

Slee & team are indisputably trailblazers in the Toyota off road space. I went to visit Christo on my fall break last October. I got a tour of the shop, operations, and meet the team. If anyone on here hasn't been, it's a MUST if you're in the area. Highlight of my trip

Damn. That is a work of art.

Those cut outs around the bumper swing-arm hardware are simply beautiful. How did they get the bumper plastic to curve inwards like that? Fantastic work, looks better than OEM.

thanks for the kind words Matt. Looking forward to getting back on the trail with ya in the new 200.

I’ll add that it was a huge team effort to get this build polished up. All 11 of us had our grubbies on this fine animal at one time or another.

cheers to the new owner! Can’t wait to see this rig in its natural habitat.

 

[use2bn83]

I’ll add my office cohort Tim to Matt’s list. While Brian is not on here, he deserves a lot of credit for the front and rear bumper trim (amongst other things), he’s a real tweak when it comes to that stuff and he nailed it.

Tim is not on here either, but he runs a press brake and welds like a kid in the rain. We really are just a big fun havin team lol, good times.

Cheers!

#lifegoals!!!! that is one sweet build!!!! stuff dreams are made of!!! congratulations to all the team!!! wonderful for the new owner!!!!

 

[desmocruiser]

Well done, as expected!

Good news is I seem to remember the Short Bus and Blueberry started off as one off bumpers and made the way to production, one can hope this bumper will as well!?!?!

 

[Fishinsea]

I tell ya what,

If the rope on that winch was a different color, say yellowish, i' d buy that in a heartbeat LOL !!

All joking aside, this appears to truly be the ultimate rig in my opinion.

Greg Job Eric and Slee !

 

[Union]

Are we going to get to see this beauty at LCDC?!

 

[Rigger]

Super nice! Good job, all.

That bumper. Daddy likeee.
