That’s what I thought, but I didn’t think Dissent was shipping and this was a self-installation.
They are Dissent. I picked them and my skids up from Ben about a month ago. I believe I was the first out of shop install on them.
Had Pro Gear in San Diego install 4.88's in my LC 200.
Just gonna throw that one liner out there huh?
Come on - That’s a big deal! Tell us what your thoughts are from the drivers seat?
Ok, I don't have much to report yet since I have only had the truck back for twelve hours and I am still in the early break in process. I will start that I was really impressed with Justin and his crew at Pro Gear. Good communication, they tracked their progress and included their work i.e, shims deviations etc. on the receipt in case I have to go somewhere later in the future. There was a little hiccup with synchronizing the rear diff, but they reached out to nitro and they were able to get through it. I also had them install harrup e-lockers at the same time. Not that I really needed them right now but if the diff was tore apart why not.
Took it out this morning for a 30 mile break in drive and it seems good, maybe a little more pull on acceleration from light to light and a slight possible drone when up to speed, but it should lessen as the gears get broke in.

With the knowledge provided in a few threads, I was able to pull the 3rd row in about 20 minutes. Thanks to anyone who kicked in on those.
Go find a steep hill you know well
I added TRD brakes to the LC. OK i really just painted and threw some stickers on. But i still like the look.

Icon Rebounds with 285/75/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I removed the mud flaps and moved the bottom front mounts of the front wheel well liners forward about an inch, but still have a little heat gun work to do in the front. Overall very pleased. Slant in the photos is due to being backed into my driveway.
Installed my Tembo Tusk LoadSpotter Levitating fridge Slide. I had this in the back of my FJ60 for many years. This is the first one made by Tembo Tusk S/N 001.
Went to the garage because the left front was making a funny noise with each turn of the wheel. It turned out that the shield behind the brake disk was running against the disc. It's a bit corroded but no clue how it got bend.
Also met my new tires while in the shop. Just waiting for the 17'' wheels so they can go on my cruiser.

Installed an on board dual battery charge system and an Anti-gravity battery tracker.
What does a battery tracker do? Looks awfully exposed on the front of the bumper...?
Finally put wheel spacers on after about 1500mi with the Milestars. I couldn't find any 1" or 25mm spacers so I went with these KSP 5x150mm Hubcentric Wheel Spacers Fit for 5 Lug Wheels, 1.25” with 14x1.5 Studs. You can see the after/before in the 2nd & 3rd pics. Turned out pretty well.
I would be curious to see if you felt these negatively affected ride qualify. I put on a set of 1.25” Spidertrax and have been unable to achieve the same ride as before spacers. I have had 3 balances performed by two different shops. Final attempt was I just paid for a road force balance and the tech was able to get the vehicle close to good, but it still vibrates at 50-60 MPH.

Spacers torqued down? I had a positive affect after spacers. I went from a ride that didn't feel as planted especially on turns to feeling a bit more planted after spacers.
Running the same spidertrax as you.
I have - 97 ft lbs. I have removed them, checked for proper seating, rust, anything. Who knows at this point. They look great on the OEM wheels but they may have to go.
