Bumper Build Instructions
Notes:
-If you are building the bumper on the vehicle you will need to cut your stock cross member first. Refer to the Bumper installation document for directions.
-Make sure you have all of the parts and are familiar with them before you start.
-Some Land Cruiser frames will have slightly different dimensions. After the rear cross member is removed you will be able to move the frame horns in or out a bit as needed to fit the shell to the sides. We build our bumpers on a fixture with constant dimensions. You will not have this luxury unless you build a fixture so you may have to fiddle with the sides and shell before you get them to fit right.
Building the basic bumper-
Start by bolting the sides onto the rear frame horns. Leave the bolts loose as you will need to position the parts to fit your bumper. See Pic 1
Fit the shell to the side parts. Some grinding will be needed to get the parts to fit together perfectly. See Pic 2
Once the sides are fitted to the shell, tack together well and remove. Place the tow cross member between the two sides. The cross member should be positioned ¾” below the top edge of the sides. See Pic 3
