I’m over in golden! We should grab a trail sometime. Beautiful rig. I’ve steered away from a bumper this time around. But if I was to go down that route… that slee bumper looks perfect on the lx.Allow myself to introduce myself. My name is George, and I'm a Toyotaholic. I wanted to introduce myself, and the latest addition to our fleet of Toyotas. Fancy the 2013 LX570. I am the third owner of this vehicle. She was originally a demo vehicle, then sold to a lady who lived in Winter Park, and used it to commute to Denver. She has some mileage on her, 187k as of this post, but is still runs and drives like new. I have wanted a 200 series LC since I first saw them when my wife and I purchased our first Toyota in 2008. So, I have the obligatory picture from the day we got her, and the rest are pics of how she sits now.

Fancy is riding on an LC BP51 kit front and rear. Deleted the AHC and got rid of the dash lights by following Turbo8's thread. The front suspension has Tundra LCA's with Tundra axles. I'm using Icon tubular UCA's for the Tundra. Icon Vector 5's with 295/70R17 Goodyear Duratracs. I have Spidertrax 1.25 inch wheel spacers on the rear to get the width close to the front. Dobinsons adjustable rear panhard bar. I have the softest OME springs in the rear. I will be changing those out when I get the Slee rear bumper.
I was excited until I saw thisDeleted the AHC and

@Killacaviar Sick LX I love those 35s!Allow myself to introduce myself. My name is George, and I'm a Toyotaholic. I wanted to introduce myself, and the latest addition to our fleet of Toyotas.

I wanted a cleaner/sleeker look because I always intended to install sliders. It looked really good with just the LC rocker panels by themselves. Super happy with the way it came out.Looks like you did the LC rocker panel with the slee side steps? Like that move. Easier/cheaper to cut the stock one, but it’s the little touches that count in my book.
I had to choose between replacing the failed AHC pump, or installing the BP's. The pump going out was the third failure I had on the system in a month. And with the mileage on the vehicle, I would have had to completely renew the system. In my opinion, it was money well spent ditching the AHC, and going with a system that I know from personal experience is bomb proof, and will give me many miles of hassle free service.I was excited until I saw this
To each his own, I guess…
Makes sense, and I had wondered if that was the case when you mentioned your mileage.I had to choose between replacing the failed AHC pump, or installing the BP's.

The AHC worked perfectly for about 6 months. Then I had a line rupture, and drain the system. Replaced the line, and spent forever getting the system bled. During that time, I found some seepage from the shocks, and struts. Then, the pump failed completely on me with no warning. After that, I was done with the AHC, and couldn't wait to get a conventional suspension under her.Makes sense, and I had wondered if that was the case when you mentioned your mileage.
Was AHC dead when you purchased?
This is very cool. Did you bend those metal sides yourself?Made a little platform for my dog and extra storage. The plan is to add a drawer eventually. It fits into my 470 also.
