This is why I build these kits.
Customer rig in Moab on the 1.5” body lift kit & those are 38x11.5 @toyotires RT Pros he’s clearing. And @fifteen52 wheels in the perfect +25 offset 👌🏼 This is exactly the type of build the kit was designed for.
The 200 Series and LX570 community never disappoints. Thanks for sending the photos @yianniarhontoulis_ and being an early supporter in 2024 🤙🏼

Got the winch wired into a #bluesea 9003E disconnect switch. This was the best location I could come up with for placing it as close to the battery as possible. Also cut the Slee logo out from the middle of the battery hold down bracket, and shortened the posts on the switch to create some extra room between the connections under the switch and any possible metal surfaces that could create a short. Shortened the legs of the switch to create some more room between the hood and the switch. This should do for now. Winch functions and just needs to be unwound and spooled up nice and tight. Let me know if there’s any other adjustments you think I should make.

First kit that I’m aware of that was shipped and installed in Central America. 1.5” for #justalittletallertire #LX570
Thank you for the continued support 🙏🏼
@bcc121212 was one of my first 1” kits sent out and installed almost a year ago. He just recently shared a couple great photos 🤙🏼
Wheels are 17x7.5 25mm offset, tires are 35x12.5 and he only gets slight rubbing in reverse. No body mount chop needed here.

Life's been great.
Bought a second rig.
Got my NST SPEC 1.5 body lift installed.

Example of a prototype motor mount for a drivetrain raise which is made possible by the NST Spec body lift. The purpose is to make a smooth belly under the transfer case (with a new fabricated crossmember), but it also would allow for a little lower SAS because the oil pan is raised as well. Not sure this will ever become an available kit considering the labor and skills involved but I welcome feedback as I continue to make small improvements to my own rig.

Another recently completed 1” kit now begging for #justalittletallertire
@cain_gt installed this solo over parts of a few days, which is pretty good, really, since time is needed to remove both front and rear plastic bumper covers and make adjustments underneath. The effort is rewarded with modest gains in approach and departure angles. Also, the factory side steps go up 1”, moving them further away from possible damage on trails.
Working solo on an unfamiliar process is certainly more challenging to me, so great job 👊🏼
The end result also provides a nice bit of extra clearance above the tires and an easier process fitting taller tires. The Land Cruiser is a little more limited to about a 35” tire because of the location of KDSS. Lexus LX570 clearance is a little better in the front swaybar area and allows a combination of sensor lift and body lift to accommodate above a 35” tire with a little more work (like a body mount chop and modifying the inner liners, and removal of factory mud flaps).
And, of course, what a great color combo on this LC200 👌🏼
I’m very happy to see so many people valuing this modification in combination with other great products to take the 200 platform even further! It’s been a challenge and a pleasure to bring this product to market in 2024. If I can continue to offer it in 2025, I will, but otherwise, I’ll always be happy to offer support and answer questions helping others make improvements to this platform.
Thank you to this great Cruiser community,
Micah 🤙🏼
