I'd get a slider before a rear bumper. Even though you're not into rock crawling, your "virgin bay area" explorations might take you to some rock infested areas. Just an opinion. :)

But good-looking rig, nonetheless!


Thank you!

I will consider Slee Sliders!

Oh! but I think I want the Hanna Rear Bumper with gas carrier option!

We run slee's step sliders. They're a perfect combination for what we do which would be dirt roads and occasional rocks here and there. Plus you can stand on them to strap your junk down on your rack.

The LX is looking great :)

It has been fun to see its progress through the years.

Thanks, I finally made a decision to keep the vehicle for awhile, so I gave my self 6 months last year to do some mod's, and I was done in 4 months, However the more I would do the more I want!


Now I am planning on doing the sliders followed by the rear bumper, better suspension and a few little things.

Let's see were I am in 6 more months!:wings:

Here are some pictures!









...and since the L does not show any more I might install some lights in the ARB Bumper, maybe some 170 Lightforce lights? or keep the PIAA 520 ION in the bumper?


I will also get an Odyssey Battery this coming week, just to make sure I have enough juice for the winch!

Looks good! Funny how everyone's awning photos, never show shade under them lol

You can just mount the winch control box to the side of the winch with the supplied hose clamp. Thats what i did.. and then you can still have open air flow to the radiator and see your pretty "L" :D

Those 520's would work good on the bumper, since they are ion. Ion lights are ideal for fog, which means the lower the light, the better it works (if you get much fog in Texas?, I know we get plenty up here). By the way, really nice LX!
