Love it!

Thanks for feedback on the suspension. Your rig is looking sharp. Have you tested new suspension setup on trails yet? Love to hear your feedback on off-road test.

Thanks. No not yet. Most trails are closed this time of year and mountains have been getting hit hard with snow. Driving up to ski has been awesome though! I drove past a stock 200 heading up the mountain and I got a big DROOL look from the driver.

Small update to the fog lights....

Cody, when you switched from the stock rims to the TRD ones, how did you handle the TPMS sensors (Swap/New) and who did any required programming

The existing ones switched right over. No issues.

I love the amber color on your lights and fogs as well. Where did you source the covers?

The amber lense on the ARB's are covers bought on Amazon. They just clip on. They offer 5 different colors. The fogs have Lamin-x film over them. Gives off a nice yellow. I wanted the yellow and amber for mountain driving in snow.

I'm going to be very interested to see what it looks like if you put spacers on there. I could see this being my next tire, but would really prefer the wider stance.

They will be put on July 25 along with a few other goodies at Slee. I agree on the stance look but I really wanted the function of driving through snow and fitting 34's. I think 34's and wider stance means rubbing/cutting and who knows what else. I didn't want to deal with that. I think the spacer will give the stance your thinking of or at least I'm hoping it will.

Nice looking LC! BP51's are on my list.

 

[codyaustin5]

A few goodies done today. Arb compressor w/ slee bracket, arb skid plate and spidertrax spacers. See previous pics above for spacer comparison. Keep in my mind my 34s are 10.5" wide.

Before and after spacer

Very nice!

Is the ARB Compressor there as a prelude to lockers, or just for onboard air?

Someone mentioned somewhere that the spacers impacted turning radius significantly... what are your impressions? Love the new stance for sure!

At this point just air. With all the stock off road technology don't think I'll need it.
I didn't do any u turns or anything but I can't tell the difference with the turning radius. Could also be the 10.5" tire vs someone who has 12.5"? I really do like the tall/skinny tire in general and the spacer just gives the agressive stance of a wider tire. Still no rubbing either.
