Hey, all!
I just picked up my rig from Land Cruiser NW here in Portland yesterday after having them install my new Dobinsons rear bumper. I went w/ the single jerry can option. I really wanted to go the Kaymar route... But when I found out the price from the guys at Long Range America (Kaymar's USA dealer) I about my pants. So I decided that the Dobinsons was the next-best choice as it fit my budget AND it looked pretty similar to the Kaymar aesthetic-wise.
(See pictures down below ↓)
My thoughts:
Overall this is a GREAT rear bumper! The bumper is sturdy and high quality and the swing-out mechanisms work smoothly. The design is smart and looks wise – it looks fantastic.
The overall quality is high. I give it 4.5/5 's.
As far as ease-of-installation – I can't say, because I myself didn't install it. But from what I was told by Tony @ LCNW he said that it took their guy a full 8hr day to install it.
The total cost for the bumper + shipping was $2435.
Here is a link to the EXACT bumper I purchased: Dobinsons Rear Bumper With Swing Outs for Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series (BW80-4134) - https://www.dobinsonsdirect.com/collections/rear-bumpers/products/dobinsons-rear-bumper-kit-for-toyota-landcruiser-80-series
ALSO: I did a YouTube video walkaround/overview of the bumper and showed how the swingout mechanisms work, how the bumper looks from all angles, the view out of the rear-window inside the car (to show how much the spare tire obstructs your view), and I mentioned my one negative thought about the bumper (4:05).
If you're considering the Dobinsons bumper or are bumper shopping and want to weigh your options then this video should be helpful to you.
