Whats up I'm new here, glad to be here, check out my new thread

Looks truly sick Btuman.

Black. Looks so good all waxed up.......but so darn hard to keep looking good - as you will probably know given your LX470.

I assume with the front bar and sliders you'll be getting out into the boonies for some adventure touring/wheeling etc. If so, and if the clearcoat is still good you should seriously consider applying autoskin or a 3M clear skin to the body side panels.



Good luck and congrats.

Thanks. Yes, black and I have a love hate relationship. Hope not to pin stripe it.

BTW, if you are putting on Slee Step Sliders, you need a very good drill and very good drill bits. This things frame is made of kyptonite- which partly explains its cost.

Been there and done that. Used a 13.5mm bit.
Made my own rivet nut tool. (see here: rivet nut , rivnut demo video using simple home made tool - YouTube

The front bracket bolts on drivers side (behind KDSS hardware) is an absolute bitch and will test your patience let me give you the tip.

Here are a few phone pics with the new Slee Sliders.

Those slider looks great, I plan on those in the near future. He's some pics with my new tires today

Here's one I spotted in a parking lot

 

[BTUMAN]

Anyone know what kind of rack that is and what is on it. Nice.

 

[Billfish]

dunno what the rack is but looks like a set of ski clamps fixed to it and some foam rolled up on the rest of the bar for more skis or snow board I'd guess.

BTUMAN,

The rack appears to be a Yakima Load Warrior basket.

[BTUMAN]

Thanks. Yep that looks like it. Pretty slick looking.

Nice spotting.

Yes and front and rear ARB. Like the silver too, just can't do the ARB rear...looks odd to me on the 200.

Took a few with a real camera today. http://photobucket.com/2008_Land_Cruiser

I agree 100% about the ARB rear bumper looking odd on the 200. It doesn't flow at all. My question to all is...why don't more look at the Kaymar rear bumper. Styling wise it flows so much better. Also, it offers a wee bit more clearance than stock. The thing ties into the ladder frame and is super solid.

 

[mark71]

one thing that turns me off about the Kaymar is that it is not one piece like the ARB. But I agree that it is a better looking bumper.

That looks awesome BTUMAN, just go and get some mud & dust on it and stop making me feel bad about not washing mine for a couple of weeks!!!

I like those wheels!!

How's this? took her off Roading this weekend. The KDSS worked awesome. The low gear also worked great without.

 

[PANGIT 62]

now, we really feel bad .... got mud, dust and a 200 series ....

 

[BTUMAN]

Yeah, took me hours to get all that off. Removed all the skid plates and found about 10 pounds more dried East Texas clay. Crap is like concrete.
