Firstly, thanks to @Eric Sarjeant for the opportunity to execute this build. It was a fun project to be able to build a vehicle with the freedom to execute the way we like to build the trucks.

Although we know how to build trucks, we are not the experts in product video (yet), however we took a first stab at it. For more on the truck please visit our site at SleeBUILT Heritage Edition 200 Series - Slee Off Road for more photo's and the overview video.

I know we will get a lot of questions on the front bumper, as mentioned yes, this now unnamed front bumper was our design study in what it takes to make a front bumper for the 200 and will form the basis for a 200 bumper moving forward, but no promise on any date yet. We learned a lot on doing this bumper and what it takes to make a super strong bumper, with a winch cradle that can support a 12k winch without deflecting (yes we tested it winch stall on the Come-Up 12.5k winch). Right now we are catching up on some way overdue other projects, but this will be revisited.

Thanks again Eric and congrats to the new owner.

Here is the glamor shot. And yes, the emblems are real. 3D printed in stainless steel. Thanks to @Box Rocket for the design work on those. If you don't know Adam, he is a ninja with 3D renderings and design work. Thanks also to the Slee team for indulging me with an ever changing build sheet and being able to execute to this level.

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.

@Eric Sarjeant -- any chance you have some pics of the underside of the LRA 40 gallon. would love to know how much it hangs down. this build is super!!!
 
If this bumper makes it to market will a version for the different Tupperware on a 2008-2015 be available?

Beautiful truck, by the way.

Wicked! Another well put together build. Looks awesome!
 
That is a work of art. Beautifully done and captured.

For the iconic Land Cruiser nameplate, I don't think it's too far off to say Slee is to Land Cruiser, what Ruf is to Porches. At least with the holistic build of this particular vehicle. Land Cruiser and Slee are building upon a long lineage of excellence.

Hats off to @Eric Sarjeant for commissioning and @sleeoffroad in designing and building this rig. This particular vehicle may very well be one that goes down in history as an iconic 200-series build.
 
@kcruiser200 there are some photo's on our site from the bottom and side, also shows in the video. The 24 gallon tank does not hang down at all.

@sleeoffroad ... already did... watched the video 3 times over!!! gotta stop!!!.

oh its a 24 gallon... that's what I was thinking ... looked way too tucked in for a 40 gallon. Also, good to know you have access to the upgraded fuel pump and lines that @Eric Sarjeant uses for his builds.

I think my wife mentioned something yesterday about limiting my access to our bank account. think she's caught me way too often browsing your website for all the goodies that you got and daydreaming my builds!!! that goes for you too @Eric Sarjeant :)
 
I now have an ‘03 100 and an ‘08 200. This thread makes me wanna sell both and move up. I have @Eric Sarjeant number handy. I’m itching to call and place my order.
 
Slee Off Road... 80 series legends, 100 series legends, 200 series legends, no doubt! Additionally, I had zero hesitation dropping of my 200 mile 2020 Tundra and knew that it would come back better than it went in!

Thanks Christo and crew for what you do and how you do it!
 
My #1 question is how is the 3.90 factory toyota gears with the 8 speed... I don’t know if I have seen anyone do this yet? How is acceleration, pick up and gas mileage with this mod??
 
What mpg does it get? How fast does it go? I like those slee bumpers. Can they fit on a 2009? I may drive out to colorado as soon as they are available.
