Builds Dissent offroad 2005 gx470 build. (1 Viewer)

I agree. Most shops are on backorder waiting to fab the products to order. A few maintain stock, but are pressured. I have seen waits as long as 12 weeks for bumpers for GXes these days. Keeping something new and good looking like this in stock will be a challenge. I wager it is a challenge you would love to have!

Is the plan to make the rear tire carrier a bolt on item? And is it going to use a spindle bearing?

Disregard on the bearing question, pics finally loaded for me.

Beautiful welds by the way! Stack of dimes!

Thanks!
Yes, the swing arm will be 100% bolt on including the hinge.

with the recessed fairlead....if you had to pull the cable up out of the winch (say if nose down in a hole) would the winch cable hit the bumper edge?

what trim did you use to close the bumper gap?

looks great.

Only at extreme angles, the line clears within recommended winching specs.
Certain fairleads are thicker and will increase these angles.
The trim is edge lock bulb seal.

So when your ready to take orders, please let us know. Also, is bare steel going to be an option? We want to color match it to her sliders and wheels.

There are many options in colored powder coating. Prismatic powders will send you swatches to match almost any color. I looked at 50 different silver colors narrowed it to 10 and ordered those to compare to the lexus silver. I paid and extra $150 at SSO to have my color choice powder added to the front bumper. With a 12 week lead time I had a lot of time to look at colors lol

It will be. I still have some fine tuning to do on it.

Ordered, and now we wait. Hopefully 8-12 weeks will go by quick. Momma is super excited.

Thanks again.

How do the trimmed upper portions of the factory rear bumper stay in place? Does the one screw in the wheel well do the trick?
