Not that I am aware of. You can’t buy them here and you need someone who can import from Australia as they won’t ship to the US. Also couldn’t get confirmation on fitment as that is really for the diesel to pull more air and how it would affect the 5.7. Didn’t want to risk it. FYI cost to import with shipping was around $650.
Your rig looks great! As an Iowa State alumni, I do have a problem with the Buffs license plates

Thanks! I’m sorry you had to spend a few years in Ames! Lol I would say I miss the old Big 8. Texas ruined the big 12 and we don’t have any rivals in the Pac-12. We are playing Nebraska this fall in Lincoln that I’m going to. Can’t wait!Your rig looks great! As an Iowa State alumni, I do have a problem with the Buffs license plates

Getting ready so you can be the first in line to buy the 300, Cody?
Curious why you're selling?
A surprising number of folks unloading their 200 in 2018, join the party @Markuson
Someone is going to get a well sorted rig.
I think my kids are hoping I'll pass my rig onto them when they get older. My goal is bragging rights to 500k, so if I make it that far then I'm not sure they'll want it though.
Seems like it's the 2013-2015 guys that have been selling theirs recently.

I had that same idea but got 10 years before my oldest can drive and by then we’ll have flying LCs!

Quick update... So WildRock did sell and went to a great new home.... definitely was a tough decision as I had a lot of great memories over the last 5 years.
But a leftover 2018 is now in the garage waiting for its build. Not sure what I’ll do just yet but I have BBS TRD wheels just sitting in their boxes itching to get out.
We’ll call this one WildRock II.

In lieu of starting another build thread I’m just going to continue so others can see the progress from the ‘13 to the ‘19.
Absolutely love the ‘19 and looking forward to a fresh new build. Which is always the most fun!
Wheels and tires: I originally planned to put the new Tundra BBS wheels on but after searching for 18” tires I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Sold the BBS wheels and acquired basically brand new Rock Warriors. I’ll be keeping these stock color whereas last time I powder coated them black.
I have never been happy when I’ve had E rated tires and my favorite tires to date were the KO2 34/10.5-17 which were D rated. Those tires took me everywhere and did awesome. Unfortunately they are skinnier and I used spacers to poke them out a little bit.
This time around no spacers and went with the standard 285/70-17 in a relatively new tire, Pirelli Scorpion all Terrain Plus, which is a D load tire. Reviews were fantastic from my research. First impressions is it’s everything I was hoping for on the street. No change in acceleration and no feeling of being heavy. A little more firm than the stockers which is what you want and look awesome! We’ll find out soon how they do off road but they also carry the snowflake certification which is a nice bonus.
Underbody: previously I had the ARB skid plates and will do them again. For the off roading I do they work great and gave plenty of protection on the ‘13 with 4 years of LCDC adventures. They’ll be installed this weekend and also added the ARB tow hooks courtesy of Matt.
Next steps: appointment is set with Slee in 2 weeks to get some remaining goodies installed.

Latest update: BP-51 installed, ARB dual compressor, ARB skid plates and new grill. On the ‘13 my favorite mod was the ARB compressor which was the single. Ton of use on the vehicles and for bikes/pool toys. I never knew what I was missing now that I have the dual compressor... absolutely awesome and worth the extra $! As always @sleeoffroad did an amazing job... top notch.
Sliders will be installed in 2 weeks right before LCDC

Looks incredible!
Thanks for posting your builds. Any updates or hindsight you can share?
I'm looking to build a new-to-me 2017 LC200 - thanks

I like the new grill... Where from and how are you liking it?
Loved reading the build thread. I’ve got a question on Wildrock 1. It looks like you had a grey interior with grey Weathertech? I just picked up an 08 LX570 with a grey interior and can’t figure out whether grey Weathertech will match or if it will be too light (in which case I’ll go with black). Appreciate the help!
