Your Truck is looking Tough! I think those wheels look great on the truck. Factory, Black or in my case... powder-coated bronze. Can't go wrong.
What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (33 Viewers)

Ha! Wait! Ten seconds ago you wanted a Falcon? Sounds like you caught the same bug. The RTTx (#009) I ordered just got the first load rack today. Anxiously awaiting delivery.
Tired of all the "same", big honking RTT's. So I made a new one. - Terrapod!
Ok peoples...production is officially underway. Emails have been sent to all. C

Very interested to see the GFC setup on your rig. I assume you will have a long wait?

Wasn't even aware of the RTTx. Awesome snag there and it should prove to be great!! Yup, wait times has the GFC Superlite delivering around June ATM.
I decided on the fabric Superlite as it's lighter, thinner, and less expensive. About what I'm looking for as it won't be a primary style of camping for my family nor will I leave it permanently mounted. Between the 2x ground tents, Airstream, it'll probably account for only a 1/3 of the camping trips. Didn't even order it with mattress or stairs as I've got duplicate stuff which works well to bring it into a somewhat impulse? price range, LOL.
Interested to see how RTTs have evolved since my experience with them 10 yrs ago. Some of the major detractors then was weight high up really changing handling of the car, aero of a brick causing 2-3 MPG decrease on the highway with buffeting and noise, and PITA to setup and teardown. Hoping these new styles of RTTS will do the trick.

Appreciate it!
Installed OEM window vent visors and OEM third row seat covers.
Wife and I are debating on getting a GFC. Looks great! How is it mounted?
Have a part number for those seat covers?

Took an afternoon trip out to Death Valley. Ran the Inyo Mine trail and the Chloride City trail. First time I have been to this park. Weather was in the 80s and breezy at times but otherwise a perfect time to go.

It's pretty flexible in its mounting system and will adapt to just about anything. I intend to use it with my stock rack. Factory longer LC rack, with 3 cross bars, fitted to my LX that is. I'm partial to OEM racks as IMO, it's more durable with less wind, aero, and drag compromises. The shorter LX rack may leave more overhang than is ideal, allowing more flex and less stability in use, but also at highway speeds.
This vid should help clarify the mounting system.
Thanks for the video! Pretty cool they offer hardware that will work with OEM crossbars. Just gotta find out if my OEM Lexus crossbars will hold up to the weight of the tent and me and my wife.
EDIT: Accidental double post.

Just took mine home last weekend and detailed it for the first time today. Since they announced killing the 200 I felt more urgency to get in while I still could. This (used) beauty fell in my lap last weekend and I pulled the trigger ASAP. 2019 Blue Onyx/Terra and will likely remain stock but for tires as it's now my wife's daily.

Swapped tires and wheels. Went from a 275/70/18 Ko2 to a 285/65/18 ko2 on BBS. Heritage wheels. The new tire is .4” wider and .5” shorter. The 275’s were just too skinny for my liking. I have only driven about 60 miles since install, but I swear I’m getting 1.5-2 mpg better. Now that it’s done, it’s not a huge difference visually, but it just looks better IMO. Do the heritage wheels look better than the bronze stocks??? Idk. Undecided. I want to find a decent used set of
35’s to try on my spare stocks..... idk. I’ll keep an eye out.
