Dissent offroad modular front bumper

[benc]

The mounting system will be very similar to the blueberry. I will be supplying spacers for the bottom if more clearance is needed.

I'm willing on the front bumper with the full guard at $1K.

Put me down. Pm will go shortly.

BTW where in CA are you? What city?

I was thinking something like these to integrate into the bumper:

I like your thoughts on cutting out the middle of the bumper. It looks like it will work well.

One last thing, (actually two). Any thoughts on changing up the brush guard setup to look similar to the ARB? Could we make it not wrap around to the corner light and have more of a baseball catchers mask look?
If you do this, are you able to have it curve down to the end of the bumper like the arrow is pictured?

Second, what about adding the middle bar with some light tabs so we can mount our lightbars?

If we can make this happen, count me in.

With so many different light options and not every one wants the same, I'm going to leave the light as an option. You can put them in yourself or ship me the lights and I can do it for an additional charge.

The pick above is a. 80 series. The second bar would not look right on the 100. The light bar can mount right on top like mine.

As for the grill guard, I'm going to leave it somewhat customizable. That being said my bender will not bend as tight of a radius as in the pic so I don't think that bottom bend will be an option with the equipment I have

Also just so you guys know? The price does not include shipping! I roughly priced it last night and and it was between $175 and $234. The $234 was from Cali to newyork. The DIY kits should be cheaper.

 

[ntsaint]

That's a very reasonable shipping cost.

Also, any of you guys live in nor cal and have a 03-07 landcruiser and a lx. If you would be willing let me take a look at them and some measurements I could offer you a discounted bumper, thanks

Dont know if this helps but I had the bumper pictured above on both my '99 and '06

IIRC I need to trim off a little tab or two on the 06 for the perfect fit.

Benc, thanks, but as my PM said, move me to the back of the list. I'm about to be out of town for work for quite a while, so it would just sit in my office for a couple months. Plus...I'd like to see a few of the others done first

I'm 100% in though, don't mistake this for me waffling. Consider mine sold.

 

[benc]

Ok, so I'm up to seven. I was originally going to do five in the first batch but I'm going to up that to 10. If we get to the 10 I can still take orders for the second batch. I would say a second batch would not be ready till about April or May. I appreciate your patience as I do not do this as a living and still have a full time job. I will keep everyone posted on the progress. I'm am going to hit it hard after Christmas.

 

[ntsaint]

Awesome. Can't wait to see the first few hit production.

Thanks, Thad does help. I don't think the blinkers will be needed as the stock blinkers are not in the bumper. But those led flush mounts are what I had in mind. I found on my tacoma that it was nice to have the light bar in the middle and the flush mounts on the side at the angle of the bumper.

FYI - Cant recall on my '99 LC but my '06 LX blinkers are in the bumper

 

[ntsaint]

My '06 LC has the fogs in the bumper, but blinkers are with the headlights.

LC vs LX

I used the ambers as running light in my '06 LC pictured above with the TJM bumper. Looked cool at night

What bottom bend are you talking about? On your bumper or one of the example pics posted?
