First post, so apologies if any formatting errors, etc...
I just finished some mods on my LC and wanted to post some before & after pics and some feedback. Added: 2.5" OME suspension/lift; ARB full length flat roof rack; new tires (Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/70r18) and wheels (Fuel Vector 18").

Feedback:
- Very happy with the appearance. After removing front mudflaps, still getting some rubbing on front tires that some heat gun creativity should remedy.
- Roof rack is great, but does give quite a bit of wind noise since it extends past the front edge of the sunroof. Initially installed w/ optional fairing on front, and fairing angles down/ pushes wind down into the front edge of sunroof causing quite a bit of noise and vibration at >45mph.
- Side poke on wheels/tires - this is nearly perfect IMHO w/ +20mm offset & 9" wide wheels and 285/70r18 tires - tires are near perfectly aligned w/ fender edge.

Amazon Green 2011?! Wow, nice score. Since you asked for feedback, ill happily give you some. I don't love the rack. Id like it better with no rack at all. Then pull the running boards and tint the windows and that thing would be 👌.

If you need a rack I like the Prinsu/Bowfin style better. But we are splitting hairs. I love the black wheels on the green LC. :beer:

A new front number would likely fix your rub....

here’s mine with same tire size.

Love what you did, simple but a big difference. Was the OME 2.5" lift front and back?
