Bought an LX470

Care to share more pictres of it?

Sure, I'll work on that.

Heather, did they have to do any cutting for the bumper?

Not to my knowledge. You'd be better off asking ACC since I wasn't present for the install.

Bumper was a bolt on affair. We did have to do some minor trimming to clear the winch power cables but nothing serious.

I was at ACC when they installed K9crazy's bumper and winch. For that style "bull" bumper, it appears to me to be very well designed with the installer in mind and with the end-user in mind. Also in attendance was Eli Spigler, the US rep for Ironman sales in the US and owner of Camel 4x4. He's a modest fellow from Oz and has worked in the Ironman plant. He explained to me that they do all their own R&D in house and they manufacture just about every part of their suspension kits, winches and bumpers from one end of the factory to the other. The only parts he recalls being sourced were bearings and seals (likely Japan). He said a fair bulk of their business "back home" included custom suspension for military/industrial applications, which is why their R&D is so robust. But I agree with Michael too, politics aside, it doesn't really matter where a part is made - if it is designed and tested to perform as advertised. FMKV: no, their website doesn't say where their parts are made or sourced, but how many website do? Toyota? Ford? ARB?

Back on topic...great looking Hundy Heather! And good looking build, so far. I think someone earlier said that your Dad will need one after this delivery - and I bet they are right.

here you can see the winch mount and the STOUT cross member it provides to the frame. The bumper is then bolted to these large reinforced crossmembers and brackets. Way beefier than an ARB in my opinion (this one is for a Prado 120, going on a Lexus GX470, but same design principle for the 100 series).
