I've been thinking about getting a 200 for several years now but kept talking myself out of it for several reasons. I finally decided to pull the trigger since the dealer offered new purchase price as trade in value for my 2 year old Truck. Timing seemed right. No more cruisers in the US helped persuade me too. Although I really think they'll be bringing them back after they build hype and anticipation. Anyway, had the new cruiser for a few days before I had the time to get it out in the woods. Unfortunately it was a rainy day and I found more mud than i would have liked. I've owned many Toyotas and multiple landcruisers, but never have done a build thread. Figured maybe I'd start now.
Immediate plans were:
BP51 and a little larger tires.
Slee Sliders
Arb Bumper and winch.
Twin Compressor install
RedArc Trailer Brakes
But, no one has anything in stock right now. So I guess I'll hurry up and wait.
This one I plan to have as my daily driver for a while. I usually drive a vintage cruiser when the weather is decent and a more modern vehicle as my daily, especially in the winter as the old ones are so prone to rust. It's been fun so far to be in a cruiser everyday. Maybe years down the road when the mods escalate further It'll be a dedicated offroader. We'll see.
