So I have a question. For all of you guys that have a rear bumper, How did you paint it. I have started cleaning it for primer and noticed I can't get in the lower parts of the arms. Did you get it powder coated, bed lined, I called LineX and they wanted 500 bucks to line it, or did you do it yourself. How did it come out. I really don't want this thing to rust after a year.

They do not come powder coated but bare steel?

I also had mine powder coated by them prior to pickup. I did have one painted to match the blizzard pearl on my '12 Limited as it was impossible to match with powder which was expected but not hopped for. The other their standard black powder.

Does anyone have any pictures of the sliders with top plate and kickout? I'm looking for some additional pics other than the ones from their site.

Thanks!

Powder Coat...

I will gladly rattle can all the skids and sliders, but bumpers are a hard pass on the rattle can.

I saw a few pages back that some work on making the 19/20 Pro rack more functional had commenced. Do you have any update on what may be available? I have a trip planned mid-July and would definitely benefit from some additional function to the roof rack.

Thanks I contacted the local powder coater he is 6 weeks out but the price was perfect.

Anymore pics of your flat sliders with bump out? Trying to gauge how far they stick out before ordering.

Proof of concept worked, but haven't gotten back to it yet to try to clean up the design...

Is this just for a wind fairing or improved crossbars, both?

Finally got around to using the hi-lift jack mounts for the day in the dirt at Badlands Off Road Park on Sunday.

I recently picked up some 2010-2013 Trail edition LFD cross bars, and am wondering if you have a larger version of the Accessory Mounting Plate? I'd like to be able to stand on top of the runner and am exploring solid platform options. Looking forward to the reply!

While not at all answering your actual question, I will say that on my full length rack, my girlfriend has stood/walked across my crossbars countless times without any problems. Full disclosure, I have the all steel full length rack.

That being said, I (had) the accessory mounting plates up there but I don't think she's ever actually stood on them (as when they were up there they always had traction boards mounted to them). FWIW, the only reason I took the mounting plates off is because now I can mount the traction boards to the spare on my LFD Dual Swing Rear bumper

We dont have any solutions right now, but several people, including [MENTION=73851]007Tacoma[/MENTION] have used Rhino Rack platforms bolted to our crossbars to make a platform. ETA the old steel mesh wire ones, not the new ones.

Yeah... they stopped selling the mesh ones. We still rock it on ours.

Crossbars

 

[jtgrinsell]

Do you have a lead time on when the Crossbars will be back in stock?

 

[jrharts]

Well, I just ordered a 3/4 steel rack for my 2010 4Runner. It’s on backorder, but I’m excited nonetheless.

Thanks to LFD—we love the new rack.

Thinking of making Driver Door Skid Plates?

Great muddy day with LFD in the woods of North Carolina.
Regrettably I found a spot their skid plates don't cover - driver door/fender seam.
Door wouldn't open... little bending with a wrench and light hammering - all good.
Slight chance it was pilot error... though I'm claiming some sort of equipment malfunction.

Of course at the top of the hill was a spot you had to crawl two rocks and exit between two trees that were exactly the size of a 4Runner - a very thin door skid could have come in handy again.
Don't think this one is buffing out, but truck still looks perfect on the passenger side.

Sounds like you just need some sliders, LFD has some now

Obviously joking about the door skid... though I have seen goat armor?

I have angled sliders.
Tree 1 impact was right between tire and slider - bad luck.
Tree 2 angled in and the slider wasn't the wide point. Flat sliders might have been just enough to help me here... oh well.

On the bright side, I got to use all the mods I've been putting on the truck.
Skids and bumper passed with flying colors and we were able to drive home that night.
