The roof rack looks nice - I just posted a few questions regarding how much higher the rack makes the vehicle (compared to the factory rack) and installation instructions - it would be nice to know what's involved prior to making a purchase.Stuff starting to get released! Roof rack has arrived.

Yeah, I agree that it would be nice to know how much height is added. The answer that was given to the question I posted on their site wasn't exactly helpful:
If we run a flat bar across the factory rack, we can probably take a measurement at the center of the roof for comparison, but it seems like an obvious question that should be answered in the description as a lot of people seem to want low profile racks (look at all of the activity and interest in the ARB low profile rack threads) these days. Garage door and city parking garage height limits are a big factor in that.
I called Victory and was told that the rack is 2.5-3" higher than the roof at it's highest point. On my 2020 HE, that should be at or below the highest point of the OEM roof rack/bars. Does this sound about the same height as the Prinsu? I'm not aware of a lower profile rack.
I also was told that you can remove the second load bar that covers the sunroof because the mounting system doesn't incorporate any of the load bars (they simply increase rigidity and can be removed even after the rack has been mounted). However, there's not really any place to relocate the removed load bar (different than the Prinsu). That's not likely an issue for me because I don't plan on running a rooftop tent. You can also source the black stainless hardware directly from Victory.
I really like the Sherpa rack, but the second load bar from the front (directly over the sunroof) is required as it's part of the mounting system (about half of the bars can be moved and relocated, unfortunately, not the second one). Sherpa told me that their rack is about the same height, which is less than 3" above the roof.

Any update for the release of your Rear bumper and swings?

Engineering is finishing up bumpers, skids and sliders. They ended up needing to make some changes to get stuff fitting the LX as well. But they are targeting end of this month for release!

After Colorado, we made some design changes to the front LC200 bumper. We’ve also made it also fit the LX570.
Do you have any pic on the LX?
Which years LX570 are compatible?

Not yet.
I thinking it will be good through 2015. I don’t think 2016-up will be a problem, but would need to find one to verify that.
