NO lift, F/R bumpers, winch, or dual batteries, so "Offroad Lite".
When the stock battery needs to be replaced I will go to a much larger battery using Slee's larger battery box.

Clear wrapped
Ceramic coated
Ice blasted the underside, then under coated (+ not driven in winter)
Sliders, Slee
Skids
Air compressor, ARB dual, mounted underhood with Slee mount
Lockers, F/R, ARB. Stock gear ratio is 3.31 (now 3.90 with F/R ARB lockers mounted in off the shelf Toyota diffs, which is the only way to get the front ARB locker).
