Add me to the list. We normally do Petrolia and that area around that time anyway so this sounds perfect.

I've been trying to keep up on this thread, but have likely missed the answer to this question if it's been asked: Are there any recommendations for sliders once one has done a body lift? I did the 1" on my 2019 200 and I'm really happy with it. Would like to start uparmoring, but I don't know if I can go with an off-the-shelf solution or if I need to go semi-custom or custom. Thnaks in advance for any advice!
Rock sliders are frame mounted so having a BM Lift won't affect it. It'll just make the body higher than the slider giving it a little gap... which is a benefit if your sliders are super close to the body.
For people with OEM steps they can trim the steps accordingly to blend in the gap.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I tweaked both the front and rear bumper (stock tupperware) to eliminate the gap. Ideally I want sliders that minimize the gap between the frame and body, but not sure which (if any) manufacturers can accommodate this.
TKO has some with a "kick-up" that they describe as "high and tight". I believe some others with lifts have used these.
LX570 / 200 Series Rock Sliders — TKO Fabrication
Our 200 Series / LX 570 sliders are customer favorite. They are constructed of 1.75” 120 wall HREW tubing. These sliders are bolt on and fit around the AHC and KDSS components. The LX570 sliders have an integrated AHC skid plate constructed from CNC cut, formed, and dimpled 1/8” steel plate. We off

Budbuilt actually sells a LC slider built for 1" body lift. So the whole slider is mounted an inch higher on the frame mounting plates. If you have a LC, I think that's the best bet to keep the slider as high and tight as you can to the raised body and also minimize ugly gap between rocker panel and sliders.
Unfortunately, no such option exists for the LX, but I'm sure something could be fabbed up. Or you could even chop up and modify the TKO sliders to accomplish something similar.

White knuckle offroad have an option for a 1" body lift on their sliders but landcruiser only. Don’t think they work with the LX AHC...
Perfect, thank you! Will definitely look into this option. I've heard good things about Budbulit's product.
Will also look into this. Cheers!
