04 GX470 Rear Bumper Options

[LTD FJ]

So the Wife backed the GX into another vehicle(how do you do with a backup camera???), and it cracked the bumper and put a dent in the metal under the tailight. Looking for a new bumper, but don't want to waste my money on a stock one, since I plan on lifting and modifying in the next few months. Anyone have a rear bumper for the GX, if so do you like and pics if possible. Thanks for your help....

There is no aftermarket rear bumper that will fit a GX properly. The 4 runner bumpers don't line up with your sheet metal and there isn't a GX specific bumper in the states or overseas that I have found.

You can go custom or wait for a few manufacturers to make a Prado 120 bumper. If you want, I can sell you my stock bumper components for 50% of new and I can start my build.

Thanks Dan. I sent an email to ACC to find out more about your lift and how difficult it is to install. I believe we met a couple of years ago @ GSMTR, but I think you had an 80 then that was rhino lined or something. Anyways, godd to see your doing well and I will be following your posts about the GX, as I plan on going a similar route. Down here we only wheel 2 or 3 times a year, so mostly for looks.

That was the Avocado, yep, we met!

The lift is tricky since the rear has absolutely no spring perches...but it obviously can be done!

I wasn't kidding about the rear bumper cover, let me know if you end up not building out and I can sell you my perfect factory cover!

Thanks Dan. I will definetly keep it in mind. Just got the quote from ACC bout the Ironman lift. Gonna PM you a couple of questions if you don't mind.

From my research you are likely going to have to go custom. The 120s have been out for quite a while and don't see many aftermarket options for bumpers. Plus shipping them stateside could be costly anyway.

Good luck and will be following your build.

I will say this...I wheeled mine and it never touched the rear bumper. The angles are perfect. Probably why there aren't a lot of options. I dropped off a 3 foot rock step and didn't touch.

won't this fit? KAYMAR Prado 120

Was thinking the same. Just sent them an email to see if they've ever done it or heard of someone doing.

Thanks

yes, it will, but it is strictly expo style, not a clearance increasing solution (possibly the opposite).

My goal is to raise and tuck the rear end to get an even better angle.

Thanks Dan. If it does fit, I will probably go with it. I look forward to wheeling it sometimes, but definetly won't be as extreme as your doing(That's when I'll ride in a friends 40). BTW, when you went to Tellico, what trails did you do?

 

[GXO]

Tellico was before this truck...I had a few other trucks to take up there. I have seen every trail and driven all but 3.

Kaymar hasn't sent anything back yet. In looking at the photos of the rear bumper for the Prado 120, I see the rear feder flares are extended and the Kaymar logo is in the area where the stock bumper on the GX comes up. I need answers from these people about prices and fitment. Got any suggestions?

 

[GXO]

Yeah, I don't know the detail on fitment. It looked like it replaced the bumper cover for the rear quarters, but I don't know. Please let me know when you find out!

 

[GXO]

Confirmed the bumper and snorkel are on the boat, getting the winch on order too

You are well ahead of me..... If you don't already have a build thread, you need to start one. Once I get started, I plan on doing this to help others out. Especially listing part #'s, to save us all the headaches!!!

Can you confirm they are on the truck? ;p

Me wan see sum pics!

 

[GXO]

Yeah, they are...in my build thread. The rear bumper and side panel strip down/bed liner will happen before end of summer!

 

[chachwick]

Oh gotcha! It is the rear bumper I'm particularly interested in.

Well, OK, it's your whole truck that persuaded me that a 4th Gen 4R wasn't the only option.

Thanks for your willingness to be a guinea pig.
