Looks great with the color matched rear bumper. Do have plans to do the same with the front?

ARB Deluxe will go on, color matched with Warn 12-S winch.
The rear looks super sharp! I’d love to see how the front looks once it’s mounted. I think you’ve inspired us to color match our rear and seeing how your front looks will be helpful. Are you doing anything with the grill or keeping it stock?
Keeping the grille stock. With the ARB and lights it won’t be a focal point anyway. Will post when front goes on too. ARB was backed up in shipping. Once the truck gets to me I will have it color matched and get it installed.
is 4 wheel parts installing everything for you?
Edit: too soon?
My employees are handling the front bumper and winch. EM Toyota did the rear bumper and LRA 24 gallon aux tank. They coordinated the BP51 suspension and some light installs all with the ARB base rack in the coming weeks.
Love the integrated Rigid slot. Sign me up for one of those front bumpers for my LX. How difficult would this install be for a first time project? Also, are those Dissent sliders on the LX?
They’re slee. Slee and Metaltech are the only two options for lx’s right now.
Also if you’re trying to order a bumper from dissent, call Ben directly. He’ll answer and makes it way easier to get the process going.
Has anyone had a dissent front/rear bumper installed by a shop in Colorado or know of any shops they would trust with this type of install?
I do not have a place in CO for you; more so help you out on expectation of install cost. Used vehicle I recently purchased on the forums here had front and rear Dissent installed down in Texas for 30% the cost of the front and rear bumpers. The install is way clean. I'd be more than happy to meet up if you want to see the Dissent on the Land Cruiser for insight or notes. I'm with @radman, if they weren't already done I'd tackle it as well.
Side note:
I am planning to place the order for the rear swing outs this week, have it all worked out with Cole at Dissent, so if you or anyone else local is placing an order, let me know and maybe we can split some shipping costs.
Has anyone put a Badlands apex 12k winch in a dessent front bumper? Asking for a friend! Lol
Install should be around 8hrs each for front/rear. (That’s assuming winch and dual swings).

I stole these photos from the 200 series group on facebook. I've been trying to find some good pictures of what the 200 series sliders look like in comparison to the Slee LX570 slider steps. Still not sure which I'd rather go with.
I went with Dissent (along with a front bumper) due to the aluminum and hybrid construction. Trying to keep the added weight to a minimum while still gaining protection over stock. Fingers crossed...bumper and step sliders shipping today.
Not sure if your "friend" has bought the winch yet, but it comes with extended cables and bracket to relocate the control box in case it doesn't fit inside the bumper. I was actually shocked at the amount of stuff that came in the box with the winch.
I mean my friend was...
I had installed one on my 80 2 years ago. Used it 3 times. Worked great. Think I paid $500 with a coupon? About 5 years ago on another build, I had a warn winch that cost triple that. I only used it 1 time in 3.5 years. I'll probably go with the badlands again. I am trying not to be cheap, but when I originally placed my dissent order I I only Got a front bumper..... few weeks later, a rear...... few weeks later, added swing outs! So I am wayyyyy over budget, lol. I was just curious. I did relocate the Badlands control box when I ran it on my 80, but mostly just for visual pleasure.

Over the years I have owned winches from Warn, Smittybilt, Mile Marker, Ramsey and Super Winch. I had tons of issues with the Ramsey but it could be I just had a lemon as most love them and they are very common on wrecker flatbeds. I had a Smittybilt replaced under warranty years ago (2009) but those that followed never gave me an issue and they likely saw the most use of the bunch. The Mile Marker was fantastic and all but one of my Warns were great. Sadly the issues I faced with the Warn weren't covered by them and neither are the problems my father is having with his at the moment. I'll be hard pressed not to try Come Up this next go around as I have a bad taste in my mouth for Warn at the moment.

I have the new design Dissent bumper on order (the one with the Bullbar). I'm hopping it will get wrapped up and ship soon.
I am having Brain Oliver ( @Briano ) at Gunnison Tire install it, along with some Bud Built Skids. I bought a 4th Gen 4Runner from him, that he fixed all up for my wife/son. I just did a 2k mile roadtrip in that, and had zero issues. Overall feel confident in what Brian will do on my 200 (his wife has a super charged 200).
Anyway once, i get it installed I'll post some pics. If you aren't in a big hurry, feel free to let me be the guinea pig on this one.

P.S. Where are you in CO?
