Finally took delivery of it. Excited to finally have one in my driveway

I just did some quick research and it looks like Toyota Land Cruisers built after Sep. 7, 2007 are admissible. As far as I can tell, the only modification that is explicitly identified as being a disqualifying modification is a suspension lift. Your bumper may also a problem. If you put it back to stock for the inspection, you would probably be fine afterward. Another option would be to form an LLC and register the truck to the LLC. At that point, as a visiting vehicle, it wouldn’t be tied to your name directly.

Yes, you are quite right. Going back to the factory bumper and ride height is the right solution to the problem. But I don't mind telling you it has been a VERY tough decision to reach and still feel good about.

I'll post my "reverse build" in a different thread.

Hit 56789 miles last night on my way home from hockey last night. Just that.

I think you can put it all back after the inspection if you either do it yourself (physically in Canada) or have a Canadian shop do it, assuming the bumper and lift are generally compliant with Canadian laws. I’m thinking they are.

More of a possible what am I going to do this week- what're the chances y'all think a arb deluxe bumper will bolt up from a tundra/sequoia? Can't find any measurements online specific to the bumper, know tundras are 2" wider.

The 200 is finally lifted. Spent the day with friends installing a Ironman Foam Cell Pro kit to my ‘13. Installation went pretty smooth apart from the fact that we accidentally switched the driver and passenger fronts and had to redo it. 100 miles in and I’ve very happy with the kit. The ride is nice and firm on the road. I can wait to take it off the road in the next couple of weeks. Can’t do a lift without tires so got a set of 285/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers installed on my TRD Pro wheels. I’ll update any rubbing issues once I put more miles on her. In the meantime, enjoy that stance!

Is that a stage 2 kit? I installed a FCP performance kit and SPC UCAs a couple months ago before they released their UCAs. Same tire and size as well. I was rubbing badly on KDSS arm and sway bar, so I installed spidertrax which took care of almost all of the rubbing and the stance is much better now.

Provisioned Campbell for a short campout close to home to shakedown her new fitments.
This morning the new driverside tires were as flat as a fritter.
A rubber piece was omitted from the stems on that side.
It happens, DT fixed it immediately, happy customer.

Got some bad news yesterday and won’t be able to get LC 2.

Attached a Pelican 1750 case to the top of the 200 to hold some recovery gear.

Are those stock wheels? If yes, did you repaint them at a body shop ? I am also planning to do something like that... just don’t know the available options. Thanks

Sorry mate. Hang in there and you will overcome the setback. Life is short and you’ll have a 200 sooner than you think.

Went to Logandale to run the 8 mile loop. Was joined by a pack of Jeeps.
Beautiful area and a lot of petroglyphs.

“Nice and slow!” That guy would have driven me nuts.

 

[Dawilli99]

Got front spacers installed and upgraded to 285/65/18 KO2s. Love the new look. No rubbing...but it’s tight! Did a couple wheel locks and crawling under the vehicle to check! Next...window tint.

So you’re just shy of the max... out of curiosity, how much more stuff would you need to pack or is that weight your packed and ready to go weight?

So you’re just shy of the max... out of curiosity, how much more stuff would you need to pack or is that weight your packed and ready to go weight?

That’s my starting point, although it’s a starting point that has all bases covered except for food/drink. Camping I would usually add my Weber Q grill, a propane bottle or two, my Exped, a 7 gallon water jug, two camp chairs, some decent firewood and either a fridge or cooler.

Also remember the ‘limit’ is based on stock configuration. The upgraded suspension would likely bring that number up a fair amount if it were recertified (not a real thing in the US as far as I know).
