Long time reader, first time posting

Hello all- I live in Douglas County CO and looking for a great install shop.
Also your recommendations on your favorite full front brush guard with winch and lights, and also your favorite roof rack. Thinking of lifting it but afraid it will look funny since I have the 20" rims and new Michelins not a big knobby tire. I am not out on trails per se, but some rough roads to my small parcel of land and would like to outfit my 2021 Nightshade.

THANKS!!!!!!

 

Welcome to the forum Clappy,

I’m sorry I got no recommendation for a shop for you, just a welcome

Both R4T and RSG are the best 4x4shops in Denver. Hugo at R4T is considered the best expert among the community in CO.

This will be little challenging with Limited/ Nightshade bumper and parking sensors and what not. Definitely better to stop by at a 4x4shop and discuss.

R4T had a good video on YouTube discussing pros and cons with few racks.

To me it looked little odd lifted with 20in tires. I got TRD ORP wheels to my silver Limited. For Nightshade a black wheel might look better. As said above in my comment Hugo at R4T have good experience working with XREAS on your Nightshade. If you don't like to remove XREAS tell him that you don't need lift for trails and you are OK to have short stock shock in rear. Ask advice if you can get away with a spacer lift without removing XREAS shocks. If they need to be removed there's a high chance it will leak and not reusable.
Depending on the size there is a high chance Michelin Defender LTX not having 3peak mountain snow flake rating which personally I don't feel comfortable driving with non 3PMSF tires. Absolutely not going on i70. There are few light weight options with 3PMSF rating like Toyo Open Country, Yokohama Geolander, Cooper Discover AT4S, etc...
I don't like to run dedicated winter tire as the temperature fluctuate alot. For example today is perfect for winter tire and y'day would be marginal for winter tires. Last Wednesday 70 °is absolutely no for winter tires.
