Care to elaborate? Everyone I know with one of their lifts talks about how great they are value wise vs performance.
Their bumpers are also airbag rated being from Australia, the one I had on my LX470 was great
Lot's of guys hate because some of their stuff is made in China, but what isn't to some degree these days. I had their FCP's and their bumper on my last GX, no complaints or issues. Lot's of guys on here running their lifts and bumpers as well, haven't heard much in the way of negativity from actual users, just arm chair quarterbacks.
That said, I am not opposed to buying their kit again in the future but I am going a different route with the Cruiser simply to try a different flavor.

FWIW, I just put an Ironman front bumper on The Mule (LX470) and it's great. I think you'd have a hard time differentiating it from an ARB. The new Ironman LED fogs are really nice. More light than the OEM highbeams. It's the 2nd IM4x4 bumper I've had, first was on Brown Thunder (2000 100).
Maybe I’m mistaken, but I swear I had seen multiple instances of them taking mild rock hits off-road and not faring well.
I’ve heard good things about their foamcell and my comment had nothing to do with their point of origin. Manufacturing stateside is expensive in many ways.
***Thanks everyone for steering me in the correct direction, I'm actually going to order one of these, price is too good to not try one out.

Ironman has made strides towards higher quality components and perhaps more importantly, better customer support in the past few years. I've got one of their bumpers on my 200, and they were very responsive to an install issue I ran into regarding the wiring colors on the new LED fog lights not matching what was in the manual. I called them on a Saturday afternoon and after explaining my issue, they called back within 30 minutes with what steps I needed to take. I have damaged one of the panels by dropping down a rock step, but I don't see that as being a flaw of the bumper. I bashed the plate on a rock, the vehicle was not damaged, and I was able to continue driving. As I see it the panel did it's job in absorbing the impact rather than potentially my radiator support/radiator/ac condenser getting smashed.
Pro tip: IKEA is dead after 6pm on a weekday.
Another pro tip: ikea has a futon that fits perfectly into the back of a land cruiser with the seats out to make a convertible camping bed/couch. Can't remember which one, probably the Sporglfunt or Blaaat or some s***.
The new wheels definitely makes ur rig look more bad **s. Nice!!!
appreciate it! Shiny wheels distract from all of the bumps and bruises I've acquired along the way lol
Truck looks great man. It's come a long way!
That's how we know it's legit and built for purpose!
Plastic surgery (replacement lights) can really take years off your age and not make you look fake!
Decided to switch up my wheels. 2016+ powder coated gloss black. Back to black! Heritage wheels will be for sale in classified section soon.
