Wow. You made these from scratch?? Very nice!
Yup. Cant see spending hella $$$$ on ARB even though it is very nice. Not really any other options out there for the US 200

NEW???? It's BETTER than new!!!
will those fit with the 3rd row installed? very nice looking!!
Doubt it, but you could make it fit by cutting the width if needed and easily removable.
I decided to get a baseline on the rig before it gets modified this week. Needless to say I found the limit of the factory tires and low factory clearance when I got it stuck in a mud hole. Luckly my buddy in his 100 had no problem tugging me out. 
Had a great time and can't wait to go back with some must needed modifications. I'll keep y'all posted!!

Hi, nice done but did u ever tried zinc coating, with that kind of corrosion i think it will work out.

Out of curiosity, did you try using CRAWL Control to get out?
TIA
With the road oriented factory tires, I don't think Crawl would have done anything in that type of mud.

"Thinking" what might have happenned to someone else is very different than hearing directly whether it was tried. But thanks for your "thoughts" anyway.
Just that something similar happened to me with the OEM tires, Crawl did nothing. Tried it later when I changed my tires, went thru the mud OK.
Just installed my Weathertech floor liners.

Something similar happenned to me with the OEM tires, CRAWL worked!
Since blackoutz was "establishing a baseline" for his stock 200, I think it would be helpful to find out if he considered CRAWL one of the tools available to him in the situation he found himself, and if he tried it. As a new owner, I can easily imagine it was overlooked.
I am often surprised by the capabilities of CRAWL - even moreso now that I have some decent tires.

I began to use it once I got stuck, the problem was the ruts were too deep and didn't have the clearence to keep moving. Instead I was just pushing mud until eventually I dug myself in. If I would have had my lift and 33's on im very confident the craw control would have worked like a charm

It would pay to read the manual since there are different modes in terms of tire spin vs. no spin depending on what gear you select in low range. Don't have the details now, but depending on the gear the traction control will limit wheel spin or not.
Went to a locally owned and ran exhaust shop today. I'm ready to address the stock unit that hangs low below my rear high clearance bumper (which is not attached in this photo).
Anywho - any exhaust experts in here want to kick some knowledge my way on what I might ask for? Stainless - ok
Muffler - or not?
Thanks

I put a straight pipe instead of that end tip using stainless and pained flat black.
Get them to cut off the tip start up the cruiser, cycle through the rpm range and you should see if there's any change in exhaust note or vibration. That way you could choose whether to put on a resonator or not
I'll be interested in what you find out here... for obvious reasons. On my 100 I had the same situation and after tearing off my resonator at Tellico and not seeing any adverse affects from not having it on, put a pipe in. Works fine on the 100. Hoping for the same with the 200.
