+1 I have this bumper. You’ll need to trim some more below the headlights or else you’ll start popping clips on the bumper skin.

Thanks for the tip. Do you think I could do this with a DreMel with a good cutting wheel?
Yes the material is very soft.
Sure. Utility scissors would work too. If you're going to buy a tool just for this, the oscillating tools with a fine tooth 270 deg blade are probable the best option.
I have the no loop for 16 plus LC I have to readjust it, for some reason I had good spacing on install and after I tightened up. Then after two weeks I noticed spacing was closer. Need to go back in and adjust.
Does anyone know the difference between the classic and premium? Is it worth the $400ish delta? Looking for my ‘10. Thx!
Premium is thicker material, slightly different hoop design (notice the kink where rails meet bumper) and standard LED foglights.
Ahh, didn’t notice that. Good sale right now with free shipping.
Has anyone tried fitting the 2016+ bumper to an LX?

I know it’s a closer fit, and doesn’t use part of the factory bumper cover like the 08-15 bumpers. Just can’t find pictures or info on whether anyone’s attempted it.
Premium Off Road Bumper | Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series (2016-2021)
This no cut, Premium Off Road Bumper is fully Toyota Safety Sense compliant and compatible with the factory headlight washers and parking sensors. A separate winch cradle means the winch pulls from the chassis not the bumper. This two part design is both very strong and easy to fit. With the...

It's been tempting me! I don't really like the full bumper look, but half the price of the bumper I want..
The LED fog lights are worth the upgrade even if you get the standard bumper.

...? Can you elaborate? Can you at least keep the stock recovery points?
The mounting plate that houses the winch sticks out too far forward for ARB recovery points. The stock recovery points can be used, but I would not use soft shackles as the winch plate overlaps a bit of the opening. Poor design, in my opinion

Thanks for that. I never planned on replacing my stock recovery points. The more I think to more I'm going to pull the trigger.
Is anyone running IronMan with their BudBuilt skids? shouldn't be any surprises right?
The interface place between the bumper and skids is just a hunk of steel with 3 holes. I would imagine you could modify it easily if there was interference.
I thought of cutting it to fit ARB recovery points, but that area seems pretty structural.
I am in a 2018 and run premium bumper with bud built skids with no issues or having to add any extra holes drilled to mount.
My recovery points are stock and I have used soft shackles twice in them to pull others out of holes with zero issues. Admittedly I was looking to change recovery points but glad I couldn't. It saved me a few dollars for nothing that stock points haven't handled.
This bumper and their winch has yet to fail me and the price point cant be argued with. For what I do...camping, off roading every few months with visits to CO, Arizona, Moab, New Mexico, my deer lease and used as a daily driver...this bumper and winch is more than enough.
I would not cut anything to mount ARB points. Just not worth it in my opinion and real world use.

You people are horrible horrible enablers... The waiting begins! Went with premium based on the LED fog comment and stout bar @tbisaacs I will be using your install guide as a reference and potentially reaching out to you if I need any guidance. Going to probably go with the HF special like you did as well.
