200 Series with ARB Bumpers

[Moody]

I dig it. I wouldn't be opposed to one if it was an option on a teacher's salary...

Now that is downright sexy! I think I have a new pursuit...if I can just remember where I put that hundred grand.

You're not far off! :REOutArchery02:

My 2001 was $61K and I ended up with $76K in it.

The 2008 I'm looking at is almost $78K with tax and license. Add in the same upgrades...$15K and you're at $93K!

Why does the TJM just have a notch for a chain instead of shackles, or at least a place to put shackles?

wow, i am really impressed. I like it a lot, except perhaps for the snorkel look...

 

[Brian894x4]

Wow! Very nice looking. The bumpers and outfitting completely change my opinion on its looks. I'm impressed.

The tires don't look like they have much clearance though. I wonder if they rub. What's up with the snorkle? Is that as funky a design as it looks?

Otherwise, nice job to whoever built it.

That 'T' is actually where the saddle of your Hi-Lift slides in. Take a look sometime at the shape of the saddle and it looks like it would fit right in there. I'd imagine the recovery points on TJM bumpers are like ARB, you are supposed to reuse the factory ones. My ARB bumper has a place to remount my factory tow hooks and that's the official recovery point. But some people use shackles in the holes. Those are technically attachments so that you can double the winch line and not really a place to hang a shackle. Mine are bent because of that...

Overall I like it too. I don't care for the work it will aparently take to swap bumpers, nor the seemingly steep raked windshield, and lastly the way the rear end curves out. Other then that I think its pretty slick. It is clean and doesn't try to look all retro, or fake tough like some other vehicles on the market. I have a feeling I'll grow to like the styling like I did with the 100.

Overall I like it. Not sure if the tires are too wide or the backspacing on the wheels is off?

 

[ChuckB]

I wasn't wild about the stock pictures that I have seen. But, this looks really good IMOP. The wheels are a little much for me...

Aren't there hickey do's that can be purchased to use a Hi-Lift with an ARB?

Yup, if you have a bumper that does not have slots in it.

ARB #3500040 (I think).

probably safer than my method..... shackle with a short chain looped over the jack point....

curvy corporate shape

I stood right next to this truck at SEMA and thought,
"Why'd they spend this much money outfitting a
Highlander?"

It will take a while to get used to the new curvy
Land Cruiser shape.
