@LordExplorer it looks so so so good, congrats.
Question for you on the bumpers:
It looks like this doesn't require moving or changing any of the factory cameras and sensors right?
When they install the front bumper for example, do they basically remove the old one (unscrew it) and then weld on this one? If you ever wanted to put the original one back on for resale is that even possible or is this effectively permanent?
What do these beast bumpers weigh?
Thanks man - Congrats again, one of the best looking and I'm guessing most capable LX700's I've seen.
Thanks! Correct, the sensors and cameras are all good on the front. Rear has them integrated in their bumper and work perfectly. The rear bumper is removed and i believe can be put back on. The front is cut to fit the new bumper so no going back. No idea on the weight. I suggest reaching to Dissent for that. In person, it all flows together so well that it looks OEM. Love it
Talk to us about those sliders. Where do they bolt? Stout? How about the wheel/tire combo? Specs? Rub? Congrats. Looking how it should come from factory.
Just had 285/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws installed on my stock Lexus wheels. Tiniest rub on driver sway bar in L setting at full lock. Have ordered some Icon wheels with slightly less offset to help resolve the issue.
Biggest concern is that the spare doesn't fit great. Haven't gotten down there to see what needs to be done, but was under the impression that a 34" should fit. The tire tech said they tried to get it in, but couldn't get it to seat fully. Any tips?

I fit my 35 in the spare location, but I deflated it and used a ratchet strap to compress the tire a bit. Reinflated to 32 after it was in place.
That said I have on board air so itās not an issue for me.
Interesting, thanks. What on board air do you have?
Do you think you'll need to deflate the tire again to get it out? Not sure how wedged in it is after reflating.
Long Island farm brewery, beautiful winter day.
I have my 'spare' ARB single mounted on the underside of my drawers. It fits nicely in the foot well recess there. My twin would fit, but I didn't feel like pulling it out of the 200.
I'd probably deflate it for good measure to drop it down. I'd let it deflate while I'm jacking the truck up and pulling the flat.
Maiden voyage for my 700OT. First off-road in Sand Dunes NP. Next on to RMNP. There is one word for this thing - AMAZING. Coming from a 200HE (which I dearly beloved) I can confirm the suspension on the OT is on ANOTHER level. Washboards donāt exist and it glides over like a hover. Highway driving is a breeze with all the modern tech and I felt half tired when compared to driving the same distance in the 200.
Pics or didnāt happen.

Love it. Welcome to the club, it's pretty sweet.
These OTs are so nice.
Which offset Icons did you order? I have same size AT4s on +25 offset Icons. Spare fit, barely, but does hang down a bit. Probably my biggest concern with this tire set up now that Iāve added bump stops to eliminate the rubbing at full compression.
Iāll attach the video Dissent did that addresses the sliders. Ben will explain them far better than I ever can. Overall, I love them. They are very beefy yet low profile, which was important to me. Iām 6ā3ā so donāt need them for steps, and didnāt want them in the way like the factory ones. I know that some people balk at the fact that they are not frame mounted, but I didnāt like the idea of the AHC bulbs being messed with, and I trust Dissentās word about their strength. Ultimately, I donāt do crazy rock crawling so Iām comfortable with them.
The wheel/tire combo looks sooooo good and beefy. I love it. With that said, the combo was trying to get right. They are 285/70r/18 Wildpeak AT4 mounted 18x9 Icons with +25 offset. The AT4s are wider than their specs indicate so I had some pretty bad contact when hitting dips at freeway speed and full compression. This surprised Dissent as well as they have had that issue with Nikions and Toyos. They over nighted me a free set of Perry bump stops which has eliminated that issue. No other rubbing. Dissent has been great and has offered to swap the +25 offset wheels for +40. I still havenāt decided if Iāll take them up on that. I just got back from road tripping it home so need to do some wheeling and see how it works.
Can you confirm did they send the standard height or the extended version?
Standard
I got the +40mm offset ones. Will post an update when I get them on.
