Beautiful car...love the color and the wheel contrast! What is the camera you have used to take pics? Love the composition and colors!

Would love to see photo's of the oe swing out install. Was it relatively easy to source / install?
All taken with my iPhone XR, lol
We were doing a photoshoot with a pro and he was using a Sony A7. I also had an old Canon 20D but ended up just snapping a few iPhone pics while he did his thing. It was all about location and lighting, I just watched and learned. Amazing to see a pro do his thing.
Wife was a good sport, we shot my new LC500 and her LC for 4hrs. I owe her big time...
The 200’s rear swing out spare tire carrier was OE, he got the vehicle with it on already. Sorry been trying to look for the pics but I think I deleted it long time ago. It looked like this:
Who is the Jersey guy? He's a long way from home.
Update after a while. Finally got some free time to continue working on the LC200.
Removed the 3.0 KING Twin Tube Bypass from the rear and put them upfront!, as opposed to the 2.5 ICON Omega bypass. This will save me a large amount of money, instead of buying another bypass shock and also waiting 8-10 weeks.
The 3.0 KING has much more oil volume(also increased cylinder size), and a huge 3.0 Finned res which is where it is needed the most. I put the old 2.5 KING OEM Shocks in the rear.
It is worth noting that I put the limit straps back on as I did not realize the importance of having them on. They take allot of stress of the shocks and uniball from topping out over bumps.
I also removed all valving from the ICON Coilover, it is now a Coil carrier, all it does is hold the vehicle up, all the work is being done by the 3.0 Bypass. This maximizes the affect of the bypass. A very good bonus with it being a KING Shock is that I am familiar on how the valving works and most importantly shim stacks, oil and rebuild kits are all easily available.
* The ICON Coilover has also been respringed again from a 600lb x 18 spring to a 500lb x 18 spring. This is the softest spring possible without loosing proper ride height. This will ensure (in theory, still have to test):
1. The majority of the work is being done by the shocks.
2. Softer springs compress easier therefore, the tires will follow the terrain and imperfections better.
3. RIDE LIKE CADILAC.
* Next step is to do allot of testing to ensure nothing is rubbing and also to ensure I am using the most amount of wheel travel from the 3.0 Bypass as possible.
Testing and updates hopefully early September.

That is the Slee/ARB bumper with warn Zeon 12k
Toured part of the Oregon coastline over the weekend - had a blast! I could live the rest of my days on the road and die a happy man.
Nice teardrop. We were going to go that route (TAB 400. . . gotta' have a bathroom) but ended up with a Casita instead. Will be pulling it to the Florida Keys in 2 weeks.
I looked at those as well but wanted something a little more rugged that I could drag into some of the more technical trails. The Aero was a great compromise - enough creature comforts and shelter, built tough, timbren suspension, a little more clearance, etc.
I have the suspension ready to go for the LC and the trailer will get a lift, 33” tires and a lock n roll once the new suspension goes on. May also add sliders at some point...
The teardrop was a major game changer for us. We’ve had it on some very moderate trails and the lock n roll is definitely needed. The standard hitch is very sketch on approach and I’ve definitely pushed the limits on it.
The Overkill series of trailers looks pretty awesome with some pretty unique features like slideouts. Makes a compact trailer immensely more functional when a bit more space.
