    When are extend lugs needed?

    I thought about getting ET lugs but then read bad stories about them. I guess if they're torqued properly and one adheres to the tire rotation schedule, there won't be any issues

    Are tires a commodity business?

    I think tires are like mostly any product, branding recognition. Look at the Wildpeaks, I remember when they were cheap and people didn't really gave them a second look because of their price. Now they're recognized, almost twice the price and no better than when they were released. So we're...

    NST Spec Body Lift Kit

    I'm interested in the 1" lift, but I'm wondering if there is a substantial benefit for a fully armored rig. It would gain clearance in the wheel wells but since the bumpers and sliders stay with the frame, there won't be any gains there. In my particular situation I will gain approach angle...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    I just sent you an email. As I wrote on the email, I was able to move the bump stops to the rear position of the LCAs. The LX can't complete going into low mode. BTW, the bump stops that I received are 51mm (around 2" tall) in @tbisaacs build thread, he shows a picture where he has them...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Just installed @PerryParts bump stops on my LX. Unfortunately one of the front rearward OEM bump stops was welded shut and broke when I tried to remove it. Since installing two Perryparts bump stops on each LCA is an option, I decided to install them on the front while I find a way to remove...

    Should the other OEM bump be left in place or removed?

    Builds Travis’s PNW LX570

    Hey @tbisaacs I know you haven't posted in a while but I'm wondering if you noticed a difference between the Perry bump stops being installed on the front as opposed to the back. I just received mine and I'm wondering which position is best. Also, @PerryParts I noticed that the part number for...

    Door Lock Actuators Upgrade???

    My driver and front passenger failed and I don't use any special products to clean it. I replaced the motors in the actuators. Bought 4 motors on amazon for like $18 if I remember correctly. There's a thread about it in here.

    Engine surges when shifting into gear & Misfiring Cylinder?

    Mine does the same when the weather is cold. It doesn't do it if I let it warm up for a few minutes.

    Are these still available? Is the model for the rear correct?

    2013-2015 LX 570 vs 2016+ LX 570

    I belive removal of the headliner is a one time thing. Once you install the OEM brackets, you can install and remove the rack without dropping the headliner.

    Vibration / squeak / thumping (not a good outcome) wheel fell off

    I tend to agree with this. Torque spec for steelies is 154ft-lbs, so the studs should be able to take way past the 97ft-lbs spec for alloys.

    Vibration / squeak / thumping (not a good outcome) wheel fell off

    Do the LCs that come with steelies from factory also come with different studs? If it doesn't, then they must have really over torqued them.
