@brimy311 Can you share more details on where I need to make cuts on the factory side steps? I need to get those ugly factory side steps gone ASAP.

My 15’ LX570 is coming to your shop in March 22’ for front / rear bumpers, sliders , skids and a roof rack.

It's very easy. The tread plate pops out from the step—otherwise it's think flimsy plastic. You can cut with a utility knife, tin snips, jigsaw, multi-tool etc.

I’m stoked about your roof rack and sliders for my 21HE! Do you have any profile pictures of the sliders on? Do y’all do any custom coating, like HE Bronze?

I have your upper shelf, which I like a lot on my LX. It is well matched to the location and lets me use the dome light and headrests. I also have the side 3rd window panel, which is very well constructed. I'll post some pics maybe this weekend. I also have the interior pistol molle which I'm seeing where it could actually fit with the LX trim (I knew in advance it was not designed for the LX).

I see you use the nylon expansion plugs for the shelf, these work but I wonder if the fitment shouldn't be 'screw to install' metal jack nuts or even a t-nut. The frame is very strong and fairly heavy on its own. The powder coating is great on the window panel and pistol molle, but poor on the side mounts (incomplete and thin spray where the support hangers were in the coating) and just ok on the rack (thin).

I like the bumpers and they seem well thought out. I'd really appreciate some options for the fog panel cutouts, as a lot of folks use the Baja Designs. I think the tabs on the rear hitch cover are slick, but I wonder if I would end up slashing my hands pulling the hitch pin/lock on those in the dark.

Customer service and communications has been great. Rapid shipping and safely packaged.

Let me know if you find a solution for the console molle. Thought about poking through the leather trim…

I was hesitant on that as well. I'm think through the material on the passenger side.

Here is a picture of the no tube work front strike installed on the LX570:

Here are a couple pictures of the Blitz sliders installed on the LX! There is a light front and rear that gets hooked up to the courtesy lights.

Overall project update:
- We have the front bumper dialed in with a fixture for production. Finalizing the tube work now. Most of installation video is complete.
- Rear Strike fixture is being verified today. Install video on LX570 complete, working on the 200 next.
- Blitz sliders install video complete on LX570. Waiting for second sent to come through production for the 200.
- Install video for skids was filmed. Still needs edited.

So we are getting close-ish to this stuff going live!

Looks great. What is your wheel and tires size on the LX?

 

[CanadianRockyCruiser]

How much do you want for those pretty sliders? I'd like to rough them up a bit.

Any plans to offer something with radiator coverage? Also, do these sliders have a cavity? If so, and there's an opening underneath, would it make sense to offer dimpling on top so a powerwasher could force that debris out without making the driver crawl underneath?

Here’s the final rear strike installed on the 200! The center logo panel is removable to access the hitch.

Nice to have another option. Not a fan of the big slab sides though. Dobinsons does the same thing. Is there something structural that drives that design? It'd be nice if it were more tucked - less to get caught on stuff (and better asthetics).

Agreed.

Yes. The body of the vehicle and substructure.

Not to suggest that you should rip off other makers designs, but Dissent found a way to do it:

Dissent offroad 200 series front/rear steel and aluminum bumper interest.

Hey guys, like the title says, I'm waiting to gauge interest is front and rear bumper in steel and aluminum. I may have the opportunity to get a 2016 into the shop for a bit and if the interest is there I will take advantage of that to get some production models going. These would be a low...

More or less the same thing. We just have a little more bumper where our spindle goes for the carriers. This allows us to make it modular. Add carriers at a later day or take them off after your trip.

 

[CharlieS]

In the same way that the sexiest man alive and I are more or less the same thing.

Ours are extremely modular without the bulk , likely more so than any other offering.
Bulk and modularity are do not have to be one in the same.
