Does anyone have a phot of an LX470 with an aftermarket plate steel bumper (Slee, ARB, TJM, BIOS, etc...), OEM running boards, OEM ride height, and stock tire size?

Bonus points if the LX is Sand Dollar Pearl, White, or Tan.

Thanks in advance.

Good place to start is here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/91953-mud-100-series-photos-thread.html

It would look similar to this:

I already looked there. No dice.

Are you sure you went through all 129 pages?

Try using a google image search by site would be my best guess. There is definitely such a pic around here somewhere probably a whole bunch.

Alternately, just use your imagination, any of the available bumpers look fine on any of these trucks in my opinion.

Look at Slee's website

I've looked there too. None of them have OEM running boards.

I'm new to the forum, not the internet. If it were as easy as a google search or the pic thread on this forum, I wouldn't be asking.

From Slee's website - 100 series with OEM running boards and LX wheels and stock size tires:

Except... Those tires aren't stock size

...and it is one of the few 100 series bumpers that does not work on an LX (much to my chagrin as it is my favorite design and the best suited to my light duty application).

I appreciate everyone trying to prove how bad I am at searching, but I promise I have done my due diligence before asking this question. .

It's a tough combo to find (otherwise stock LX in Sand Dollar Pearl with aftermarket winch bumper).

What are you trying to see? A Slee Blueberry will be the same bumper on a truck with running boards and stock tires as one with sliders and 33s. I guess I'm confused?

Which bumper do you like the best? And, I guess we're talking front bumpers, yes?

pretty close to what you asked for.... small 33's

You can probably fit that TJM bumper on the LX if you remove the hoop. Or, you can come up with a release... like ARB has done on their Tundra bumper. The TJM hoop is mostly cosmetic anyway.

Is the only issue with the LX the hoop?!?! That would be awesome.

pretty close.....those tires are a little bigger than stock.

I'm wanting to see a couple things. First, I want to make sure that a slee blueberry/arb sahara/ tjm t3 don't make an otherwise stock rig too nose heavy (visually).

Second, I am curious how a black front bumper will look on my sand dollar pearl truck. I know they look good on white, but sdp is very off-white... It could be very unfortunate.

Third, I've seen some trucks with nice off-road bumpers and low hanging running boards and they have a "pot belly" look. I want to avoid that.

I'd love to lift my truck, bolt on some sliders, and mount some larger tires. However, I did all that with my last truck and it made it tough to live with day to day. I drive my 1 year old to daycare everyday and loading him/unloading him from a lifted truck with no running boards was a pain. The truck is my on-road daily 90% of the time, so I am willing to compromise ground clearance to keep the stock height/running boards in this one.

You might try a picture editor and mix and match to your hearts desire, just saying......

Might even fit, as is...

As far as infants/kids and lifted 100's. Look into the various slider step offerings. Works for me.

Here is my 99 100 with the TJM bumper from Slee and factory running boards. Not exactly what you asked for, but at least you can see color contrasts. I have the 2.5 lift and 285s. I would not recommend doing this without lifting the nose a bit as the bumper is heavy. I cranked the front stock bars, but with the age, they still sagged a bit. If you don't add the winch you might be able to pull it off.

My boards are coming off soon...
