ARCHIVE Victory4x4 LC200 build, prototyping and product development! (1 Viewer)

We were unaware of the 08-11 front facia. Trying to sort out another solution. We spent the weekend looking for a local option, but nothing yet.

Anyone with 08-11 LC that’s within a few hours of Michigan? Get ahold of us.

@brimy311 I’m also wondering. Any issues with the rear bumper and rear cross traffic sensor?

Also how well do the skid set protect cats and diff?

Website suggestion, have your web guy or gal or they/them change the weight on the product page based on material and options selected.… or just list weights in the specs below. Front bumper for example…

steel front w hoop
steel front w out hoop
aluminum front w hoop
aluminum front w out hoop

etc..

The BSM is a little goofy. It gives some false positives. It seems to pickup things on the carriers here and there. It’s pretty intermittent.

Bump.
Victory4x4 ladder for LC200?

I’ll bring it to the engineering guys today.

Maybe also A-pillar ditch light mounts? Something that doesn't require heat molding the plastic shroud?

If you want to ship it to WA I’ll be happy to fit it up and provide instructions feedback. I have a Gen 1 LX.

I'd love to get a pet/cargo barrier that is designed to fit your cargo rack.

4ths, Yes!, ditch light brackets that actually fit without having to cut the plastic or damage the hood. My understanding is the 2016+ LC (that is desperately needed) has a different fit than the pre-facelift LC. Thanks, BTW I like your products - have the front LCA skid plates on order.

I have a 2010 LX570 with one of your front bumpers on order, I'd be happy to work with you for fitment/design if you send it out my way. Feel free to reach out.

Thanks,
Dan

It's now been another 2 weeks and the guys at Victory 4x4 have still been unable to produce installation instructions for a 2008-2012 front bumper. They did add to the video to include new instructions for the 2012-2015 bumper.

I'm now 6 months out from the original purchase. I feel as though Victory 4x4 should have done this research first before even manufacturing these for the Land Cruiser. My Saga of watching these be developed + trying to get one on my truck is now up to almost a year.

The best Victory 4x4 has been able to offer was a refund. I'm super disappointed with the whole process.

there are some minor differences on the 08-11. The measurements at the fender will be the same but the headlight measurements using the technique they used on the 13-15 will likely give some false numbers. Without a cut guide i would actually recommend mounting the bumper without the factory bumper in place, then you can grab the measurements from the new bumper to the lights and move those over to the bumper cover. I would recommend cutting at the height of the new bumper or maybe 1/8” above, reinstall the plastic and make a final cut with measurements off the new bumper. We have actually found that a good pair of tin snips work extremely well for the final cut. If you would like I’m happy to help over the phone. I’m sure we could get you some good techniques and pointers so you can get this thing mounted. If you do decide to call let Cole know you would like to talk to me (Ben). Or shoot me a dm and I’ll get you a number.

Skids are on. Very impressed with the packaging and delivery was easy one skid at a time. Still waiting for the gas skid but nothing that needs to go on right away. Ordered all three together. Fit and finish is awesome. I have aluminum versions. Took a little time figuring out the best way to get the bolts into the serrated nuts but once you figure out some tricks not a big deal. I like how simple these are. You don’t have to do a ton of steps to install them. Pretty straightforward except I wasn’t sure what the square powder coated spacers were for? I used them on the transmission skid on the back where the big bolts go through to the center cross member. I put them between the skid and the cross member as the cross member has a slight indent where the trans skid rests against. So bolt then washer then skid then square plate then washer and nut from the top. Seemed logical to me and worked well. But I still have two square spacers left in the hardware kit so wasn’t sure if these were spares or intended for another spot. Also few spare button heads and 13 mill bolts included which was nice in case one gets caught on something. Pretty easy to take off when needed. I am curious how the oil filter access panel will work. Definitely need a socket extension and hoping my Jowett filter removal tool fits in okay. The ez drain valve on the bottom of the housing fits well with plenty of clearance from the engine skid. Nice and protected. Nice notch in skid to access oil pan drain plug. Keeps that part of an oil change pretty easy. Thinking I will remove skids every three oil changes or so. So for me about once a year.

That’s sick!

We are planning to work on a handful of products to wrap up the 200 series in June.

Yes, please!!!!!!

Hi @brimy311,

Does your LC200 upper shelf also fit the LX570 of same year ('08)?

Thank you!

 

[sreyes1103]

received mine late last night!
