Build TomasAllan's LC200 Build Thread (The Yeti)

[TomasAllan]

Well guys finally got around to it after getting my 200 back in June of this year (2016) and have slowly (or not so slowly) started my build.

Toyota Land Cruiser 2015.

This isn't my first rodeo though as I've have built a couple 4runners and other cars throughout the years but finally graduated to the big boy league (I think?)

Here is my last rig (sold) .... "TomasAllan's Build Thread"

Here is how I got it, and will start posting progress as time allows.

"The day of...."

Oh that tailgate (finally)

Had to baptize her the first night I bought it.

Stay tuned for more.

Pardon my ignorance but, is there a way to edit your own posts?

Been meaning to ask for a while.

 

[ikeb]

there should be an 'edit' option in yellow at the bottom of anything you've posted...

Thanks ikeb, unfortunately either I'm blind or I don't know what gives, I still don't see one

 

[T4Runner]

You should see three gray lines next to the time stamp, click that and you'll get "Controls" menu...

 

[TomasAllan]

I tried that, only get the "report" option.

No edit or delete.

... if it's not my post, then all i see is 'report' and 'bookmark'

 

[TomasAllan]

Interestingly enough it just showed up :-0

Weird.

 

[ikeb]

good to hear. now get those pics posted because your truck looks fantastic!

 

[TomasAllan]

ScanGauge II...

Is it normal for the trans to hit 212f to 220f on these things? I remember as soon as my 4Runner started climbing to those numbers (mostly due to weight and slightly larger tires) I installed an aux trans cooler, temps lived in the 170's after that.

 

[TomasAllan]

Haha, thanks @ikeb

Next up..... some lighting mods.

All internal light bulbs were switched to LED's from my friends over at "The Retrofit Source"

These things sure are bright.

 

[TomasAllan]

Headlights (low and hi beams) switched to OSRAM (I believe 5500) and hi-beam to LED matching the color temps..

Again from my friends at TRS

Subscribed.

Love seeing 15/16 owners dropping 75-95k on a new truck and building and off roading it. Thumbs up! TRUE ballers. Guy in my kids school, bought a brand new 2016 LC, and has almost 35K in parts in it and off roading it all weekend.

 

[TomasAllan]

Switched the fog light's bulbs to LED (exact match to hi-beam).

 

[TomasAllan]

Up next was my Prestigious Society Nav Override unit.

Got a little intense there for a minute...... nothing a couple shots of bourbon can't fix (liquid courage)

Back together...

[TomasAllan]

Time for Tires and Wheels, went with Enkey 18x8 (5x150) and Nitto Terra Grapplers G2...... 285/65 R18

Tried (actually ran them) the Cooper Discoverer AT3's and loved them except that the shop couldn't get them balanced right, so went to Nitto. (found out after a while their machines were out of wack)..... would have stayed with the coopers such a nicer ride, next time I guess.

Time for my Gobi Rack and my good old ARB Awning.

[TomasAllan]

More toys ICON Stage II, OME 2720 ..... had gone OME 2722 originally on the rear but the LC was sitting too high for my taste and rode too stiff, also wouldn't go in the garage which is a no no for me.

Also, Total Chaos UCA's.

Used some trim packers on the rear to give it a nicer stance.

And here she is:

On-Board Air .... ARB Twin Comp / Slee Bracket.

Alright kids, its way late out here in the east coast, time to catch some zzz's and will continue tomorrow when I get more time, night.
