Good shot of Rayno S-9 ceramic tint. Unbelievable heat rejection. Went with 20% up front and 5% rear.

Thanks for the kind words! I really like the Rhino bumpers for a lot of reasons, especially when the wings are color matched. I will admit the 08-15 bumper doesn't fit quite as nice and doesn't line up with the body quite as well as the 16+ bumper I had on my last truck, but I still really like the look and have had many thumbs up and compliments on it already. I think on my brandywine 16 it looked so stock when color matched nobody even realized it was aftermarket, but it really pops with the silver and dark grey wheels.

Yeah the Brandywine looked amazing with it, but this is the first time I’ve seen it on a silver LC like mine. Any negatives I should be aware of?

Stopped on the way home from California to snap a couple of pics of the truck with the new front bumper
Just got back from quite the campsite this weekend
Nothing too serious, but I will highlight the negatives in my build thread shortly. The biggest take away for me is that the 16+ kit was just simply designed better with tighter tolerances and better alignment and less bulk, but it makes sense something designed many years after the original version is better. One day after installing it I put the truck through it's paces with some pretty intense dune bashing and long, rough trail driving and the bumper didn't move or squeak and dramatically increased the approach angle, so I'm happy with it.

I disliked those wheels so much that one of my first mods was to pick up a set of the 2016+ wheels. I wish I had seen yours before I did that. I think my local powdercoat guy may get a visit after LCDC. That looks pretty rad.
Haha thanks. I beat the crap out of these wheels, it's prob the 3rd or 4th iteration if I count the one time I plasti-dipped them (don't ever). Have been rattle canning them ever since. These are actually painted gold... like obnoxious gold... then I threw a couple coats of lens tint on them, and a couple clear coats at the end. Came out aight, def different.
Yep, he was mad we were taking pictures without him so he jumped in my seat

the lens tint is an interesting choice. I like it. on my silver 200 I did a highgloss powercoat, rather than semi-gloss or satin to try and achieve the same look.

Stock 2016 that I just picked up. Now just need to figure out what I should upgrade first. Hmmmm?
Looks great as is!
But you should bolt on as much s*** you’ll never use as you can ASAP!
Got some tint applied. Everything is 3M colour stable material. 5% on the sunroof and rear windows, 50% on the front two windows.
Starting my wish list form all these awesome photos.
