Update,
The DIY kits are still not completed. I was thinking that once I got it all dialed in They would cut me all the parts in a day or two, not the case. I have been getting the parts for about 4 bumpers a week. They have two lasers but one has been broken for the last few weeks, the second laser is fixed now so they assured me they will get a fair amount cut this week. I know this it taking much longer that I originally had figured but I will keep you all posted. Thanks again for your patience!

Do you bring them the steel or are they supplying it? Not that it matters to us but was just curious!
I just went and picked up a new wire spool so if it all goes along with my plans I should have the bumper together by Saturday!
Thanks for the phone help offer the other day! I'll try to call whenever I can get started, probably tomorrow!
BTW, the shirts look great! I want one.
One other thing, whenever you are ready to ship me those pieces for the riser caps I would like to have another set of the 2 center top flat plates. The ones that connect main piece to wings (welded to bottom of risers). Not in any hurry for any of it right now!
We can talk about it via pm too instead of here. Thanks

Just got it installed. I made some changes to the bumper. I added a hole to the frame brackets to allow water to drain from the frame. See pic.
I also added some small led turn lights but they blink fast so I need to add a resistor or add a incandescent turn signal bulb.
The warn xps winch required the solenoid box to be relocated. The box fits barely. It would be easier to package if the winch could move back more. Ben, is there a reason the lower section of the middle section of the bumper does not extend to the bracket mounting slot? If I could move the winch back 1 inch, the packaging would be easy. I added an angle bracket to attach the solenoid to the bottom of the bumper.

If I remember right there is not much room to move the winch back before it would hit the grill support. This is a very common thing as all winches are different. With a high clearance low profile bumper it is impossible to make all winches fit with no mods. Most makes have the same dimentions on the body but it's the solenoid box that is different. On some of my past bumpers I have mounted just the plug remotely and that seamed to work well. When the plug is on top of the box like the warn is it may work well to cut a hole in top of the bumper just above the plug. I'm not sure if that would have worked in your case or not but could be an option for some.
How do I get on the list to get one of these badass bumpers? It would be going on my 2000 LX470.
I didn't go through all the pages and maybe this is self explanatory but the DIY kit is just the laser cut sheet right? No assembly has been done at all? Did you build a jig or something to help get angles and whatnot lined up or is it just easy for everything to fall into its correct place?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Put together a LC bull bar today. Was going to sent some of these parts to you Paulo, but I realized I have not put one together since the bumper has been dialed in. I figured it would be a good idea to make sure everything fit before I send you the rest of the parts
