bumper from other toyota models on gx460 (1 Viewer)

[cgs2k2]

has anyone fitted an aftermarket bumper from any other toyota models (4runner, fj cruiser, tacoma) onto a gx460?

clearly the body lines wouldn't match up perfectly - but something like a hybrid bumper might not look too bad depending on the build.

i thought i had once seen somebody put a fj cruiser bumper on the GX.

i don't like all of the current offerings. they are bulky and expensive. hoping i could take advantage of picking up something from a different model that has more options.

anybody seen / done this?

Any 150 series chassis is identical and possibly 120 series chassis. The rear cross member are a bit different but people are able to use 2010 4runner bumper in GX470. The front might be more similar.

Do you mean front or rear bumper?
... or both???

If you're looking at wanting to modify a 4R of FJ bumper for your rig, I assume you have some fabricating skills.
If so, why not design and build your own? A couple of guys on here have done that, and they've come out great!

nope, i have no fab skills. i do have friends that have fab skills if need be. my hope would be that the bumper MOSTLY fits, and I would just need to adjust the amount of trimming on the body plastics to make it look "okay". I am a degenerate and don't mind if it doesn't look 100% flush. i have run tube bumpers and other "incomplete" looking bumpers in the past on other rigs and i like the minimalist look.

Here's the FCJ bumper on the GX from the fab shop mentioned above. The FJ bumper is extra short, width-wise compared to something like tacoma or 4runnre which might fit even better.

would really open up the number of options for front bumpers for these things. current offerings are limited, expensive, and bulky (with the exception of Victory4x4 which is pretty slim). would be great to be able to slightly modify one of the our cousins (4runner, t4r, etc) options and make it work. these are also easier to come by on the used market since they are more common.

I have seen GX (replica/kit) front bumper on a 4r, and I actually wondered if there is a kit for the GX to get that 4r (trd pro) front bumper because I like it better... I thought of installing the ironman bumper at some point, but I'm getting my lift/tires/wheels done today and if it still fits in my garage, I probably will look for a different bumper that don't stick out so much (like victory 4x4) or see if someone can make the aforementioned kit to look like the 4r (trd pro).

I'm guessing this is another model bumper and not a 1-off? Anyone know this bumper?

Have you checked this sticky post on the main page: Guide to GX 460 Builds and Aftermarket Products
There a a lot of bumpers on there.

Yes, but would prefer a hybrid.
