Shiny aluminum pics @benc?

No but satin textured black aluminum!

 

[i4c4lo]

Wow! That looks GREAT!!!

I would love to buy one.

What do I need to do to get in the queue for an '08 version? I'd loan you my truck, but I'm E Coast!

 

[SCDerby]

Wow...that really looks good! I was considering going with MetalTech or Slee but this is really something to consider. I'm also on the east coast.

What Slee bumper are you referring to? Slee doesn’t make a front bumper for a 200, only a rear.

You are correct @mcgaskins! Sorry for the confusion.

That’ll do. Stunning. Have you put it on a scale yet?

 

[THE LIRA]

I would be interested in one...

Yes, it's 65lbs. A little heavier than the others as I'm going to stay with steel on the recovery caps and frame brackets due to the weight of the 200.

Excellent! I for one prefer mixed steel and aluminum, fit for purpose is the way to go with metals. A synthetic strung winch is another 60 lbs, so the whole thing is about what a full steel bull bar weighs.

Benc, I assume these will fit all LC200s from 08-15, correct?

How much weight in stock parts is pulled off? In other words, what is the net weight gain?

Props to pulling off such an aesthetically pleasing structurally solid design, with minimal weight. Not everyone wants to bump rocks or push rhinos. Though this could probably do some of that too. Surely much more than stock tupperwear.

So far I have only confirmed on 16 and up. As far as I can tell these should fit all 200 series with the exception of the parking sensors but can't confirm that 100% yet.

Thanks!
I would say around 50 lbs is removed for a net gain of 15 lbs or so.

 

[TeCKis300]

15 lbs? That's it? The story gets even better.

 

[Itsky]

Wow

 

[ForrestGrump]

Now that you've had it on a bit, have you been able to see much of a MPG reduction?

 

[benc]

Honestly I don't even check the mileage.
All I know is it's bad. Cat say if it changed or not.

How challenging is it to cut the OEM bumper that straight across? Looks sharp and clean.

It's definitely a little tricky. The best way is to cut long, mount the bumper low and take some measurements across the bumper. I typically mark a bunch of dots with a dry erase marker and connect the marks with masking tape.
