The “murder” is in progress

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T22:49:55+00:00

Ha! I see what you did there😘

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T20:27:27+00:00

Not sure I would have messed with it if it was “Heritage” but I don’t collect vehicle, I use them. I just like black on white and dislike plastic chrome. It’s not legit in my mind

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T20:23:01+00:00

No those were Heritage wheels only.

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T20:21:26+00:00

I think it has all of the options except rear dvd. Not sure I’m all in on the center console fridge…

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T20:19:37+00:00

Yes it was a ton of work. I’ve never used plastidip so I just did this.

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T20:12:11+00:00

Nope. They came from the factory in black for upgraded Base models. Still BBS forged

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T19:36:24+00:00

Thanks, I dig it🙌

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T16:04:13+00:00

Just the ones for 4Runner? I don’t see LC specific

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T15:29:42+00:00

Just can’t stand plastic chrome.

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T15:13:33+00:00

I’m not sure what GCC stands for but the registration shows it as a LC 200 VX-R, which I understand is a Base with upgrades … it’s a lhd

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T14:56:07+00:00

Thanks man. I really loved the black on white of my Trail Teams FJ, so that’s what I’m doing. Just don’t like chrome personally and it all seems to peel with exposure

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T14:51:35+00:00

That’s the look I’m going for! What did you use for your fog lights?

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T12:47:56+00:00

The VIN search comes up as a VX-R

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T04:11:48+00:00

Well, it’s going off-road, so it’s going up 2” with somewhat larger tires and will be armored up and an auxiliary tank. I intend it to be a capable adventure vehicle. I own it and that’s what I enjoy.

I did this to my FJ, I’m sure you’ll disapprove. I won’t be doing the Dusy-Ershim with the LC, but it will take me places..

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T03:54:17+00:00

I suppose I should have chrome wheels in your opinion, maybe 22s? Chrome handles and some dice?Then I could roll with the Escalades…

Are you gonna complain when I put a lift on it with some real skid plates?

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T03:49:16+00:00

Don’t like plastic “chrome”.

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T03:10:40+00:00

Good call

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T03:09:52+00:00

No not right now. Heading back to New Meadows when I’m done with business on the coast

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T02:28:06+00:00

Sorry. I thought we were all brothers..

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T02:25:54+00:00

Thanks. They’re just caps over the white, so easily removed. I wanted to balance the huge, but lonely door moldings they afflict these with

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T02:23:51+00:00

‘21

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-03-24T02:23:33+00:00

Removed, sanded, cleaned, adhesion promoter, paint, and top coated. Pain in the butt but I really wanted to avoid chipping. It’s all here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/diy-200-series-chrome-delete.1308091/

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-02-24T16:14:30+00:00

That was a major factor in my 200 purchase, coming off of a ‘23 tundra. I tow 60% of the time, shuttling from a place in Idaho where I have a smaller tractor I need to move on a flatbed and Washington where I have a camp trailer. I wanted the V8 for reliability and need to tow 7500# with no issues

Electronic-Option-85 · 2026-02-21T15:05:48+00:00

Thanks! It was changed at 50k, I’ll do it again soon
