Power Front Bumper OJ (1 Viewer)

[danimal24]

Hello. Found this on eBay...anyone else heard of this brand? Is it a solid bumper? Searches don't produce a lot of info.
Look at this on eBay Toyota Land Cruiser 100/105 Power Front bumper OJ 02.026.01
Thanks

pick up some of his harley davidson shoes as well because that and a handful of electronics are all that seller has reputation for.

This looks like a fairly sturdy alternative. My issue is a Winch Mounting plate. If you plan to add a winch! @ $700 plus 150 shipping you are getting close to just buying a TJM.

They seem like they know what they're talking about "The front bumper power series Tourism in the Toyota LC 100/105 vertical platform winches, openings under the palm rack jack, towing eye." That is KEY info right there. As a rule, I like to buy recovery equipment from a shipping company... especially if they only sell stuff I've never heard of.

Seriously though... There are several bumper options for the 100 - there are even several options that look just like that "Power" bumper - that are much better known. I'd have to pass on this one.

Right on. Looked fairly nice, but questionable. I like the ARB fronts. Thanks

I poked around the site and found the page for the bumper here:

They apparently are also sold on Shop-4wd.ru as well, alongside Ironman. I actually prefer this one more:

I obviously have no idea about their company or quality, but their website is as detailed as the ones we typically use.

Looks like they have rear bumpers for the 100 as well:

Honestly, I think I like these more than the ARB/TJM offerings we get.

I just ordered a set. Front and rear. I went all out. Lol I contacted Michael Romadinov over at ojeep directly. He was very helpful and responsive. They respond within 24hrs. They don't import directly to the usa. They use areo deluxe as their US distributors. It arrives in 3 months to New York. I will have to pick it up from there. I will let you guys know how the quality is. Wish me luck! lol.

 

[WiscoProud]

Good luck! I emailed them too, but decided to go with the TJM hidden winch mount. If they're good quality, I may look into the rear bumper though.

I went Slee front and rear so I'm not in the market, but I'm curious to see what you think when you get them. At that price I'd almost expect them to be thinner / less protective.

Are you happy with the OJ Bumpers you ordered? I really like how they look, and am very seriously considering buy the front and rear set for my LC 100.

Has anyone else bought or seen the OJ Bumpers in person? Would love to know what you think of them.

Do you guys have more info than the last time this Tourism Power OJ... bumper came up? Is it Russian? Chinese? Have you seen how it's braced? Welded? With so many known brands - Slee, Dissent, ARB, TJM, IronMan... what's the draw?

I spent a few bucks more on bumper made in the U.S. by a known and skilled fabricator. But admittedly my bumper did not come with rims under the rack rack. Maybe I'll upgrade some day.

 

[Exiled]

If it counts, I've seen some of these Chinese knockoffs of the ARB and the mounting brackets are cheap sheetmetal and the welds sketchy. Putting one of those next to a Dissent bumper is like pitting a Yugo next to a Corolla or an Austin Gipsy next to a Land Cruiser of the same era.

I forgot the member's name, but somebody in the Netherlands posted pictures of one of those knockoff ARBs on their build thread and you can see how flimsy the mounting brackets are.

If you want a cheap front get the TJM

 

[gndm93]

They are okay for the money. You're definitely not going to find any set up (front and rear) with all the bells and whistles for around 2k shipped anywhere else. It was a headache to get them here. It was almost a year wait and I had to drive to new York to pick the up. They are made in Russia. Welds are okay. Nothing near weld porn worthy. It's a good option for someone that's willing to wait and want to spend the money on the more important things like lockers, maintenance, gear, ect.

... on the more important things like lockers, maintenance, gear, ect.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but once a winch is mounted to bumper or it's used for recovery, it becomes extremely important - more so than lockers and lots of other gear.
