I took mine out and used it in the Maze in Canyon Lands National Park in Utah. The 200 ran very well and we had a great time at Panorama Point and Doll House #1.

Here's part of the spectacular view from Panorama Point.

Our camp at Panorama Point. The 59,000 BTU propane fire pit was a hit.

Our camp at Doll House #1. This is my favorite camp site of all time.

I have a set of Bud Built "stage 3" skid plates in progress for my 200. I just figured the weight increase would be like carrying a passenger but with a lower CG.

the factory wheels look old and out dated imo. And even if on factory wheels I They would rub with out lift , my lift will be in next week son-not really worried now just wanted to give heads up on people who might try to run them without lift .

The tire shop did mount a 285-70-18 on my factory wheel first just to see the look for me. And it rubbed on front and back plastic . So and the tire price was 350 more so ratered the look of the method wheels and saved few bucks going down to a 17 inch tire .

Lift doesn't help tires clear on IFS, so if it doesn't work stock without adjustment (cutting, trimming, alignment, etc.) then it won't work with a lift unless you make adjustments. I don't understand how buying 4 or 5 new wheels saved you money over tires that were $350 more for a set either. I guess I'm biased and like the stock wheels, and they worked fine for me when I was totally stock and mounted 285/70/18 RGs. They rubbed a little before trimming, but the rubbing would have been the same lifted or not. The alignment after the lift helped more than the lift itself FWIW.

Went through my drawers and side fit kit spaces to work on reducing weight.

Believe it or not...I dropped a good 35lbs...despite how FULL my drawers are in pic below. Main reduction was in heavy tools, redundant smaller items like sockets, liquids and items I had accumulated amongst similar, small items (bolts, etc).

The space they used was replaced by lighter stuff I always have on trips anyway, but scattered in other bags I end up digging through. So now saving the space those bags won’t take, and keeps drawers full enough to be silent/motionless inside.

Weight efforts will continue...
Hoping to replace one of my 3 water cans with lighter recovery stuff in its place on my swingout. So much water weight there not good.

Maybe something as simple/cheap as this large ammo can I saw today on a nicely built 4Runner- would be super handy, and keep a muddy rope outside after messy use...

Love the look of your truck, and was thinking 285/70 18 Ridge Grapplers on stock wheels might be my next tire. Curious if you’re running any spacers? Thanks,
Tommy

If you need one let me know. Pay shipping and it's yours. Might even have some 20MM nomenclature on the side. Super overland approved.

Heh... Thanks!
I need to measure and figure out what size for my spot. Suspect it might be harder finding one that basically has the same footprint as a staff 5gal jerry can bottom...I dunno.

But ya, bees knees if that size or another size would be close enough to make it.

Thanks @TonyP !

I have a 5gal jerry inside one in my storage unit. Pokes out of the top but has room to spare on the side. Not sure if it'll lay sideways in the can so you can put the top on. Don't think so.

I only have two sizes, one like above and the smaller Ammo.

Thx. I’ll check the space. It would go in place of one jerry can inside my Slee, 3-can basket. Prob not enough room but I’ll measure & post.

Edit to @TonyP -Max footprint of 14.25”x7.75”

Other alternative is almost doubling that to 14.25x14.0” taking the spots of 2 cans, keeping only one on my bumper for quick use, faucet, etc...& other 2 inside, lower & centered between axles in second row.

If anyone knows of a 14x14” footprint weather-proof-kid box about the height (or a bit less) of a jerry can...I’d love to know.

1.idk if our tire size is the same with that brand, 2. when I do the lift I will have the adjustment with the UCAs . 3, I was talking about the price difference from 17-18 inch tires the had a big difference . once I lift it the spot where it is rubbing should be located a little higher up and should fix it if not I will bust the heat gun out , its not rubbing by much ,

New option for 17" wheels for the 200, not cheap but looks good aside from the bro-ish center cap. Just watched the Patriot Campers video where they showed this.
Patriot is known for quality so these should be nice.

17"
+35 Offset
3300lb (which is massive) Load Rating for the few on here that actually care about that

Any info on what the center bore is? I couldn't find it on their web site...

TIA

I couldn't find it. Notes say it "Suits LC200" so they should be 110mm

 

[weaselox]

Had the wheels powder coated black and added some KO2s. Love how this turned out with the stock wheels!!

35mm offset is a great number to finally see.
Wish more folks would offer it.

 

[TonyP]

Yup, works out to $290 or so per wheel. Not entirely bad.
Getting them here would be another story.

These guys are Patriot Camper dealers. Not sure if they can get them though.
