I'm hitting a wall in trying to find a bumper for my 1999 LX. It all seems like a strange nightmare that the most popular year and model for the 100 series has the least options. Long waits. Nothing in stock. Fitment issues. Irreversible cutting. I get responses from owners like "I don't really like what I'm running but I'm making due until I can get rid of it.:
Price Range $1,300 to $2,000.
The whole bumper unavailability issue is basically dashing my plans to go to some off-road events that I planned for Sept.-Oct. and the whole reason I the vehicle in the first place. So I've given up on going being able to enjoy the LX for this year.
I like the looks of these bumpers. I do like the full size bull bars from hitting a deer a few years back. The time of year when I plan to use the truck most is when the deer are out.
Ironman4x4 BBCD006 -- Classic Off Road Bumper Fits a Toyota 100 Series Land Cruiser/Lexus LX470 I like the look.. Sold out.. Unavailable.
ARB 3413090 -- ARB Bull Bar 100 Series- 2002-07 [3413090] : Cruiser Solutions, custom cruisers, restorations, genuine Toyota parts, body tubs, used Land Cruisers for sale - I like the look. Though I hear there is a gap and fitment issue when mounting on a 1999 model. I can overcome the antenna light tab issue. Generally not available. I've been discouraged to use this bumper due to a gap issue. Then I read the bumper will flex and you need a gap. There is a video about installing this bumper.
ARB 3413050 -- ARB Bull Bar 100 Series [3413050] : Cruiser Solutions, custom cruisers, restorations, genuine Toyota parts, body tubs, used Land Cruisers for sale -- Not crazy about the looks. If I buy one, add me to the people who bought this is and say they don't like it but are running it until....
Dobinsons Front Classic - Dobinsons 4x4 Classic Black Bullbar for Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series & Lexus LX470 IFS 1998 to 2007 -- There is an LX470 listed in the advertisement. Must be unobtainable. Looks similar enough to the ARB. Not much information about. Installation instructions seem sketchy.
Other than that, I really don't want a bumper that brings back images of this car when I look at it. LOL.. Ha!
