All done with the LFD install including the Kaon folding max trax mounts. Took a couple trips to the hardware store but that seems to always happen. So I have LFD 200 series package. Added two LFD mounting plates. Everything from LFD comes with nice stainless hardware. Kaon folding max trax mounts also came with hardware but needed to add some nylock nuts and some flat washers to use with the included kaon bolts. So four flat washers and 4 nylocks gets the 2 kaon mounts perfectly mounted to the LFD plates. No drilling required! Got lucky Kaon already has multiple holes drilled for racks and the front runner spacing was perfect. Max trax pins install on kaon mounts easy peezy. Now to get the LFD plates on the LFD bars I needed to buy 8 flat washers to help get better contact from the top of the plate. LFD bolt with two LFD locking washers then flat washer from the top of the LFD plate. The a little locktite on the combination put that through the top of the plate and then LFD nursery in the bottom and your mint. I used one max trax to get perfect spacing before bolting down. Very secure and folds to fit in my garage. Very happy with this set up. Trying to keep it minimal on the roof. Will add an swinging off passenger side when I get more time with already purchased LFD awning brackets.

I take the foot off my hi lift and store in my drawers. I found that it gets in the way of the latch.

I’ve considered this. It works but it is a bit of a pain. For how often I’ve actually needed to use a high lift ( never) installing the foot wouldn’t be too inconvenient. Especially compared to being annoyed every time I open the hatch.
No it seemed to work well. There are two different sized slots on the LFD bars. I was unable to fit bolts through the slots closest to the drivers side. So as you can see in the picture I mounted toward the middle of drivers side. You have to just make sure those nutcerts from LFD are perpendicular to the slot and that they set first. Same with the load bars have to make sure you turn those suckers so they grab and set in the factory Toyota rails.
Added my Slee sliders. Should have gone for a drive to the local mall to get a better picture. Driveway pics will have to do.
Nice what type of lights you using on your ditch and bumper spots
That’s a pretty cool setup … do you have any instruction on the installation ?
Cleaning up wiring. Finally moved my LRA tank switch up to the dash. Tore out my old cargo build to get ready for the next build. ARB nearly ready- just need the UpDown Air lines run.

Those are nice! After driving for a while, let us know how much noisier it is than the stock crossbars? I keep my stock bars all the way back when not being used to reduce noise. I miss the versatility of the Prinsu rack that I had on the 4Runner, but I sure enjoy the quiet of the LC!
Thanks!

Greased the driveshaft this week. 1st time ever and what a headache it was. The fitting was stuck to the zerks in those though spots.
This method saved my life.
This method saved my life.
For sure. I will definitely get a better couple or fitting to make life easier. I’ll have to research the one you mentioned.
Anyone have success with this?

I use the lock n lube. Works great for me. Makes it a lot easier to attach/detach to the zerk fitting.
Awesome! Appreciate the feedback.
