Yes, the tire carrier is very stout. I was pleasantly surprised.

Love that color. Looks awesome.
I wish there were more blue, red and really any *color* 200's out there. That dark blue looks awesome. Good job on the detail. I think my paint is beyond hope at this point.
I don’t know, if you have big tires and skids, pinstripes and scratches seem to help give a 200 a more manly and rugged look. Besides, it’s too much work trying to buff them out.
To each their own, but I love myself a dirty cruiser. Once every 2 or 3 months I will take mine to a hand car wash and they will give it a good scrub and I mostly like the cleanliness inside. Outside, I can't wait for the next rain to get it dirty again. Oh, and wash away that damn tire shine that I ask them not to use it, but they always seem to "forget." Just hate that shine on my KO3s. 
I've also been busy spending money overseas and waiting long periods of time for shipments.
I'm sorry if these are repeats for some of you on my same FB groups.
The tire carrier is cool, but I'd like some mods to it and since I don't have an extended fuel tank, I don't see myself using it too much, unless I decide to run larger tires than I can fit underneath, which probably will never happen.
The skid plates I really like, mostly from the weight perspective. I also have the Victory 4x4 skid plates and if I was to do any real offroading, like when I hit wearyman's creek (brutal in a stock lx - ask me how I know), I'd probably use the Victory ones, but driving around Houston, I don't need the added 100+ lb of all that steel.

Those skids look good. Who makes these? I tried googling LDKLZ and I am not finding anything pop up that looks like yours. Thank you!

Happy Friday everybody! Think about snagging these Tundra Steelies + KO2s to throw on the 200, any fitment concerns? Also with steel wheels do I need different lugnuts, would these work?

The steel wheels do use a different lug than aluminum wheels. Also the tightening torque is like 150 ft lbs instead of 97. Pretty sure steel wheels have a flat vs a conical washer.

Tell us more about the 4 door R32!
Love the steelies. Same size and offset as LC wheels. Those tires may look kinda small though.
Mine is going back for round 2 of my current alignment saga to weld the cam tabs and align… again asking for the cruiser gods to protect my truck from dropped wrenches, incorrect torque specs, and general incompetence.
ugh, I hate the anxiety mechanics cause me and I say this as a former wrench monkey.

I would go with Thule Aero Bars instead of modifying your rack. I’ve used the Hullavator for years on multiple cruisers. There is just a lot of leverage goin on loading/unloading.. I think the bars would handle that better. As you know the overhang you speak of needs to be right so you don’t bang the side of the cruiser. Usually the bars are longer than recommended by Thule. You could just leave the Hullavator bracket attached and remove the Thule bars when not needed.
That rack makes kayak life much easier. My 2 cents!
My poor door? Rust free straight as an arrow 90 GTS-t. RB25DET swapped already. My buddy bought it from RHD Specialties probably a decade ago. He got bored with it and left it abandoned on his farm for 3 years. I'm probably the only one stupid enough to drive from Buffalo to Seattle and back for a $5k 4 door R32 but I do like a good road trip. I had to scratch a JDM itch, and this was the cheapest way to do it.
Plans are to make it a quasi track car, I'm bored of running enduro's at the local ovals. It's got great bones, but all it need's is everything. At least I'll save it from becoming a drift slut.
In LC200 news, bought the currently discounted Rival skid plates. I know, I know, they are probably the weakest of the bunch, but for my use case (95% highway driving) aluminum was the only way I'd go (200's are pigfat enough). And for >$550 delivered, even ASFIR couldn't come close. I don't plan on going anywhere I'd even need skids, but the old "I'd rather have them and not need them, than need them but not have them". Same reason I'll get sliders shortly, but I have no interest in aftermarket bumpers.
I believe this is the route I’m going to take but with their square bars. They all have the same weight rating andthe hight will be lowest with them… I have garage clearance issues so every millimeter counts.
Assuming goes well with my alignment and cam tabs welds today I will be back on the Hullavator project this afternoon or morning. Our next camping trip is this weekend and we’re at our spot on the river… it’s boats or bust as far as we’re concerned.
The Aussies don’t play around
