Equipt’s Overland Built 200 Land Cruiser

We do a deep dive walkaround of Paul May’s expedition-ready 200 Series Land Cruiser, with a full compliment of ARB, Slee, Eezi-Awn, and National Luna components. Paul shares his insights on building a TLC after decades of overland travel.

I just got a new slee rear for my 200. It is a work of art. Let’s be honest it is super super expensive but it is just more innovative and higher quality than any other bumper in the market. Also the fact that he makes very few of them adds to their desirability and resale value long-term

[@texlee1640]

I'd have a hard time choosing between a Slee and Dissent rear bumper.

Great build! I just pulled the third row out of my 200 and the drawers go in on Thursday 😊. Slowly building it, I still only have 30,000 miles. So glad the 300 series isn’t making it to the US!

[@NKPGarage]

As much as I love my 80 series. The 200 series makes for a much better overland rig. More power, more comfort, and in my personal opinion, maybe even more reliable in certain ways. Fantastic video! Thanks for taking the time to create and share with us!

[@ExpeditionPortal]

You are most welcome. And the 80 series is amazing too!

Awesome build and very very good video.It's cool to watch..love the Alubox idea:-)

[@lanceodell8058]

It's Paul perfect!

[@ExpeditionPortal]

HA! Exactly

[@NigelNaughton]

Nice build. Did this have lockers at all? Sleeping inside the rig is the best but cool he has options to where he could just take the RTT off if it wasn't needed.

[@bruceevans8837]

Good stuff, very nice truck

[@ExpeditionPortal]

Thanks!

[@jsnadrian]

awesome build -- a little hard to hear you guys over the music at times

[@ExpeditionPortal]

Thank you for the feedback

[@NigelNaughton]

I didn't notice the music at all...hmmmm..

[@junglehouse95]

Functional build. Love the Al box idea..what size is the box, Paul?

[@jeffreyralph67]

Great build Paul. Big fan of your business. Are those 17” wheels?

[@mattphillips1910]

I have a 2021 200. I am also 6'4". I have the same issue with the seats. I didn't catch the name of the seats swapped on this project. Can anybody help? (Protect your ears when you're young. Chainsaws and shotguns made me practically deaf before I turned 40!)

[@Eli_goes_camping]

What size are those wheels?

[@texlee1640]

A simple, functional build without going over the top. It's crazy to see how many people in the know select the simple OME lift kit for the 200.

[@brittanyhighland]

What a privilege to see your setup, Paul! Thank you for taking the time to share.

1. I never comment on anything so this is weird for me. 2. I have a 200 so this video was awesome. 3. Love Overland Journal. 4. Love hearing about tall people’s problems when I’m 5’8”.

[@ExpeditionPortal]

HA! And you have no idea how wonderful it is to read a kind, funny comment 🙏🏻

[@jpking0512]

Awesome build. Where do you store clothes? We travel with 3 to 4 people, and clothing storage is always an issue. Wife and two daughters, so a lot of stuff. Would love to see a video on how you guys store it. Thanks.

[@thelandcruiserproject]

Do the Scheel-Mann seats afford any additional headroom over the original seats? Asking for someone that's 6'9" tall and whose head rubs on the lower ceiling caused by the sunroof.

[@texlee1640]

You can have Planted make you shorter brackets for those vertically gifted folks like yourself.

[@AA-vr8ez]

What tire size?

[@claudiusthegod]

Are the K9 loadbars better or an ARB base rack when it comes out for the LC200?

[@glenod]

my 200 here in aus looks similar, 2014 gxl.

[@chasedanger9734]

Nice 200

[@mstott22lax]

Great content

[@chrisg1234fly]

Did i miss it, but is it petrol or diesel??

[@ExpeditionPortal]

This is the 5.7 liter petrol
