I did get some great pics out around Guadalupe Mtns Park- unreal how beautiful the country is out there. Thank you for the kind words!

Yes they are custom ARB/Slee bumpers. I just moved back to Colorado and decided it was high to create something unique and highly capable offroad. Those pics are outside of Breck/Peak 10.

Nice though to be in an area where it definitely cools off at night, and essentially no humidity v. Texas.

Our new 13 LX that we picked up a few weeks ago after we sold back out Q7 TDI
Looking to mod this soon, idea is to do something very similar to what bluewaterb did.

Added a very clean low mile 2015 LX CPO to arsenal last week at around 60% of it's original msrp. Pumped. Couldn't work with the stock 50 profile, immediately bumped it up to 275/60 R20 Michelin Defender LTX M/S 33". Nice full wheel well, more compliant drive, visual stance more like a LC with it's 18" on a 65 profile (LC stock is 60). 275/60 R20 Blizzak DM-V2 on order for all the winter storm hunting up and down the Rocky spine. If an AT setup is ever truly needed, bluewaterb's tasteful modifications will be borrowed upon. He has clearly paved the way on the 570 front, great choices & effort! I'm thinking a TRD Forged RW 17" (full matte black powder coat) or the Icon 6-speed 17" in Gunmetal (bluewaterb's spec) with BFG K02 285/70 R17 + Slee sliders would be a solid start. Snapped some quick pics after tire install today before heading home...

Per your roughness increased comment, sorry to hear. Just make sure psi matches door if using same tire spec, or if upsized adjust it to tire manufacture spec to meet vehicle load. Ex, with 275/60 R20 def ltx m/s, calls for 29 psi to meet load on lx. I run at 32-33 so tpms light doesn't trigger. Tire places always seem to overinflate as well, so double check it.

Thanks!
I had Slee Offroad in Golden, Colorado do my install. these guys are literally the best in the biz. The arb bumper is Slee Custom made and they are now keeping them in stock.

Had some fun with the Land Cruiser Destination Club gathering over the wknd (based out of Breck)...got a little twisty here in Chihuahua Gulch, but nothing too serious. Every time I push the limits (my limits) of the truck, I am amazed at the ability of this machine. Shown with Slee ARB Front/Rear bumper, 33 BFG A/T, gerry can, Slee sliders, and fun times.
