3 quarts total. I set vehicle to low and pumped the reservoir then bled all 4 corners. Removed 3 quarts and replaced 3 quarts.

Quick, use it so you can't take it back. Very nice rig, COMFORT in caps. Congrats.
Bought a 2014 LX for my wife and took it to the mall aka Denali NP
What did you use to get the old fluid out of the reservoir and put fresh in? Some small OD oil transfer pump?
Correct. Standard hand pump. I had to disconnect the filler hose from the resevoir, which might of been harder than exchanging the fluid.
I used a pump like this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CX4XKF...a799-6d87149716bf&ie=UTF8&qid=1535555101&sr=2

New 285/70-17 BFG KO2
Maltec 200 is without question the fastest, best handling, and smoothest riding expedition camper available. Making it 100% wife approved.

Commandeer it quickly and get into the dirt before they want it back. You are a lucky guy.

Is that a Load C KO2? 285 75 17 / E would have been too much for it? Is that a 2.5" lift?
I'm on the fence between those two sizes with a 2.5" OME.

That’s interesting it doesn’t have sliders. Are they available? Also is that the VPR front bumper? I’d go with a traditional ARB/TJM if it was me - I’m guessing Maltec offers those an option?

Pretty sure I recall Alex saying the one we saw in Telluride had a Maltec-designed-and-built aluminum bumper.
I would hope it wasn’t the VPR with the issues we’ve seen on the forum. Design looks incredibly similar though:

I think you meant to say “wasN’T...” rather than “was”?
VPRs are blingy weak sauce...
They dont see a lot of rocks, sand is what they deal with the most. Bumper is aluminum and built by Maltec. As for options because most builds are custom everything is available.
Went with tire rated at ~2750 lbs per tire. The 200 weight is ~7000# our tire guy thought the E rating was too much given the off road use and vehicle weight.
No lift the European Land Cruiser are available with AHC.

My bet is they are the Load Range E version:
- MILEAGE WARRANTY
STANDARD - SIDEWALL
RWL - RIM WIDTH RANGE (MIN/MAX)
7.5" - 9" - SECTION WIDTH ON MEASURING RIM WIDTH
11.5" ON 8.5" - OVERALL DIAMETER
32.8 - REVS/MI
635 - TREAD DEPTH (IN 32NDS)
15.0 - MAX LOAD, SINGLE (LB @ PSI)
3195@80 - TIRE WEIGHT
58.11
Personally, I find it gratifying that they chose to use the tire size recommended by Toyota for the LC200
Thats one good looking 200 any idea on the slider/rail or steps pictured on it?

And yet ... Toyota recommends the LT285/70R17 Load Range E tire for the stock LC200
