Front winch bumper for 2016+ LX 570

[Tex68w]

Has anyone "stateside" fit a winch bumper to the front of a 2016+ LX 570? I know the wildly styled spindle grill makes for some major cutting/altering of the front end should one attempt it. I have heard from others that the ARB should be able to fit but that no one has attempted it yet. I found the pic of the one in Qatar that has the non-bull bar ARB bumper and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Are there any others out there?

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I am getting ready to settle for a hidden winch but would sure rather get a bumper.

See posts from @Chrisleduc1. He did one.

I don't think the ARB bull bar fits the LX, because the LX grill stick out too far. You can call ARB tech in Washington state about fitment.

It has been done, you'd have to call Wanderlust Overland and ask about the install and what all it entailed. I want to say that it was rather involved. That said, they did a wonderful job fitting a bumper onto a vehicle that it was never intended to work on. Right now, it is the one and only option (I assume that the Ironman could be made to work and look very similar as well) and a custom fit at that. I like it but I would also like to see some 2016+ LX570 specific bumpers developed, one can only hope.

Looks really nice. They custom cut the grill.

Looks great. Don’t know anyone in Florida I’d trust to do it.

I have a 2019 LX 570 and This looks Awesome. I am in the process of doing Method 18" and AT tires. I have been wondering who would do the bumper with a winch. What have been the pros and cons of the one you did?

I think the only con is that I still have the s***ty LX approach angle. The pro is the look. It really came out awesome.

Warn EVO 12k. I pull an off-road trailer a lot so wanted a little extra. If you do it anywhere near the FL panhandle I have the guy for you.
