Builds Mid Life Adventure 2010 LX570

[raincityrider]

Got a new legless 270 awning a month or so ago. It is a game changer! Super easy to set up and break down. I had a 8' roll out before. Didn't use it much case it took a few and was a bit of a pain, only used it like 7 times in 2 years. I use the new one like 2 a week. It is square off the back which is great cause the far side gets better coverage.


If any one is interested PM me I have some more I can sell $775. reg $925. Both driver and passenger side.

What skids are you guys using? Do I need the dissent radiator guard?

I’m running stock skids with Dissent radiator guard, but full Dissent skids on the way.
Get the radiator guard no matter which skids you go with.

I wish they had a discount if you get the whole kit. Also wish they had brought up the RAD as an option to me. What was the lead time on the skids. How much are they? No price on the site.

@raddman @1world1love

Can you guys post pictures of your the spare tire mount attaches to the swing out? Mine isn't lining up very well. Mounting points on swing seem too narrow to mount on the inside and too wide to mount on the outside.

 

[1world1love]

Hey. Not sure exactly what kind of angles would be useful, but here are a handful.

If you need a specific angle or close up, let me know.

Got tire on and wiring done a couple weeks ago. I’m pretty sure I mixed up the running and brake light wires so I will deal with that later.
Had an extra TRD center cap so put it on for style. She needs a good cleaning but here she sits.

@raincityrider sent you a PM a few days back re: awnings, but haven't seen anything come back. Still have any around that I could check out?

Damn I hope somebody rear-ends my LX

I'm super jealous of the bumpers. My original plan was to order mine as a Christmas gift to myself, but life decided to shift my priorities. Now I'll have to wait a few more months. My factory plastic has some fun bumps and bruises already. I'm thinking there will be plenty more before the new steel/aluminum gets installed!

Yeah, I really like them. It is defiantly a chore to install.

So, I made the mistake of not ordering a set of skids from dissent when were still taking back orders. Now I need to hire an intern to watch their site for when they are available, which seems like never.

Plan B; What are you guys using and are you happy? I know @grinchy went light and may have the scars to show for it.

Yep! I have a well dented 1/4" aluminum front skid. I'm replacing with 3/16" budbuilt steel (front and engine). Last I checked lead times were 12ish weeks, but it depends on if you order powder coat or not. One member got them shipped within a week, not sure what material they went with.

I might go light weight. She is still my daily driver.

Or maybe I just rock the Slee set up.
