NST Spec Body Lift Kit (2 Viewers)

I haven’t been able to find anybody that builds bumpers for the LX 570’s to accommodate for the 1.5” body lift. I’d love to know more about yours and see more pics.

Derek is a fairly new and small operation and just does fabrication on the side currently. He has a small auto dealership specializing in Toyotas. He is a cruiser guy and I just suggested he get involved in the Mud community if he's not already. He's primarily on Instagram. Here's a short video he took of the bumper when he finished making and installing it. I continue to be very happy with it. I had a TJM bumper previously that I really liked, but this one has a little better clearance and of course was built with the body lift in mind.

Looks great...thanks for the info. I reached out to him on Instagram.

I hope he built a jig for that… seems like a really nice bumper that a few people on here adding body lifts would probably scoop up quickly

I would be interested in a raw diy kit..

DIY means different things to different folks. I bought my RLC rear unpainted for pretty cheap and did the paint etc myself. All in with lights and paint and everything it was maybe half the cost of the other options. I can’t weld however

RLC doesn’t do a front though.

I would just like the pieces of his bumper, I can weld and all the other things. The time consumption of the actual fab is what gets me.

I love my TJM bumper but this one is an eye catcher

:EDIT: nevermind, I see now that his front fender chop basically cut off the offending section of the rocker at a vertical-ish angle.

Sorry for the thread derail. I still haven't installed my kit (or a bunch of other stuff in the "parts pile"). But is this Chad guy on MUD? If not, can you PM me a good way to get in touch with him? I'm super curious about his rocker plastics. It doesn't look like a traditional chopped rocker when I zoom in on the photo, but the "mudlfap" dopdown area at the front wheelwell is gone. I want this bad and I've been racking my brain on how to achieve it cleanly like this, fiberglass, etc.

I came in to the shop to work on kits this weekend and had a chance to make a phone call to someone who I had heard was at Cruise Moab.

This is Chad from Colorado and he happened upon my YouTube videos running big tires and asked a few questions and dove into fabricating his own body lift and getting onto 37’s for his ‘08 LC.

@J2HundyOutfitters is what he goes by on here. He makes a few parts now and has a thread on an alternative gasket for the valley plate. He is pushing the limits of the 200 platform now with 42’s!

Absolute beast of a rig!
