Introduction

[LFD Off Road]

Hey everybody, Jacob with LFD Off Road (also on the forum as jafrush). If you haven't heard of us, we're based in Denver, North Carolina and make roof racks, bumpers, skid plates, and a lot more, specializing in Toyota 4x4s. All our design and manufacturing is in house. I founded the division, and am in charge of engineering and product testing, as well as a lot of the customer service.

I picked up a Meteor 1958 LC a few weeks ago that you'll see in a lot of our product photos. It's my daily driver, and it will also pend a lot of time testing products and the new platform at a local off road driving school as well in Uwharrie, NC.

We're currently working on a lot of projects for the new 250. We've got a 7/8 roof rack available now, and are in final testing on full skid plates. A full length rack should also be available in the next few weeks, and also working on crossbars for the OEM side rails and front winch bumpers.

Feel free to reach out with any questions, and if there's any specific products you'd like to see, let us know!

Local offroad driving school? Wasn't aware of one around here.

North Carolina, not Colorado

Busy week last week!

Installed the first two prototype full racks, these are stainless steel side rails with aluminum crossbars. Sunroof compatible. The side rails are one piece formed with multiple stiffening bends running the length of the side rail for rigidity. They need a few very minor tweaks and it'll be ready.

Next was the prototype front winch bumper. First one fit great, replacing the center section of the factory bumper. Very easy cut lines to follow on the factory bumper.

I'll be enlarging the access holes for clutch access, and again a few other minor tweaks, but the overall concept worked very well. Mates up very nicely with our prototype skid plate set also. Should have no interference with front camera models.

Painted and winch installed.

Preliminary testing out in Uwharrie the next day. Held up great through some hard sections and eating a ditch.

While we're getting the first batches of racks, skids, and bumpers through production, I moved on to our Ruggedized Crossbar development. These clamp around the factory side rails for those of you with that option. Should get these wrapped up in the next few weeks, they're very close.

Some photos from a day out field testing the new Radflo suspension as well - 2.5" shocks with front and rear reservoirs. Extremely pleased with it, for anyone who's considering one. We'll adjust it higher when the rear springs eventually come in.

take my money please......

Very nice! I'm interested to hear more about how this Radflo suspension performs.

 

[TrailWhale]

Those crossbars for the OEM rails look great. Would they have the same load rating as the OEM crossbars or possibly a bit higher?

Me too!

What rear springs will you be running?
