What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

Yes I plan on it when I can find somewhere to

More directly, you will destroy those nice and straight fenders in any real offroading or suspension compression without limiting uptravel. Suggest you deal with that before needing bodywork.
 
For what it’s worth I’m on 2” lift and 35s with “0” offset.

I haven’t torn a fender off yet. Rear mud flap yes but I backed over it.

Sure they rub. But it’s never been detrimental. My body mount is chopped/ plated and front fenders trimmed on the inside. Otherwise not much issue.

Thank you for posting, was about to say I think there is a whole thread of 34/35inch tires with zero offset wheels, and how they still stuff in the fenders with no issue. I think my 33s will be okay. 😂
 
I almost wish I would have went 285/75/17 but I think these still look big enough

So you go in eyes wide open...

This is what things can look like and this isn't fully stuffed. Stuffing square (both tires compressed) is different than stuffing one articulated tire. My setup is not +0 offset and I have wider tires. The maths are that your tread is a full 20mm further out than mine.

You're on tender stock springs and likelihood of full compression is higher than someone that is on firmer aftermarket suspension that essentially limits compression. The body also moves relative to the frame.

All to say YMMV and if you do any real aggressive driving combined with off-road. Watch out for those shiny fenders.

This is definitely a problem I can have.

Thankfully I have heavier springs and don’t high speed desert run. If I did I could have issues
 
I ordered and installed some black window trims from Garage Alpha Off-road

Thought from the description they are OEM... doesn't look or feel very OEM...hmm..
Anyone has any experience with these?

Got a pic?
 
Last vestiges of spring before desert season ends.
Sorry forgot to call @Boston Mangler @sdnative @TeCKis300

6112/ with 33s aired down to 20 or so is so much fun. Explored the northern parts of Anza borrego with some camping buddies. Did a little bit of everything, high speed, technical, crawly stuffs. Lots of fun.

Dang, from afar it looks decent. Also, your heritage wheels on an LX, damn. I’ve never seen that combo before I don’t think
Ya doesn't look too bad from far away. Not sure about durability long term. I need to compare it with an actual OEM part to see if this was a knock off.

Heritage wheels does look good with that color!

Is that pic with your 37s and body lift?


I'm thinking this pic of mine is probably a rear bottom out. Rear has 1.25" spacers, 35x12.5r17 ko2 and rock warriors (10mm wider offset). That puts me around 18mm offset, right?

In comparison when flexed, tire goes up a bit higher, but angles in.

Front is a little wider with the tundra parts, but still clears.

Hauled 7000 lbs of 1.5" gravel so I could build a dry creek bed. All other rock came from on site. I needed to do this before I could start trenching for irrigation. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Rough excavation, set grade, set large boulders, geotextile fabric, drain gravel, then hand place medium and small rock to finish.

I left an open spot for a bridge in the middle. Undecided on a stone bridge vs wood. The 200 continues to prove itself as a capable medium tow rig.
