Not yet. No local LX/Bullbar combos. Waiting on out of state customer pics to arrive...
How's production going? What type of lead time after placing an order? any pictures of the bull bar on the LX yet?

More pics!
What options do we have in the way of the lighting bits in those LX turn signal holes?
I have an LC so I don’t need them to be turn signals but knowing the size and how they mount might give me some running light markers or something.
Any pics of how the lights are secured in there and/or a link?
Thanks,
GB

Wow, great job. That LX bumper looks fantastic.
Officially on my "things I want" list!

We should split shipping.
Also, found this regarding led cutouts.
“LED Turn Signals +$65 No longer offered. All bumpers will have signal holes, but lamps not included. Old school ARB lamps, and VW MKII "small bumper" lamps fit.”

The only dedicated light holes are for the Turn Signals. I elected to use the ARB/VW signal lamp as they are readily available, and are a nod to the "Old School" ARB bumpers. There are bulb and LED versions online. I discontinued them as an option, because I didn't feel right marking up such a cheap and easy part for the end user to install. And there are too many options to stock them all.
Here's a thread on 80 series ARB owners using the same lamp.

Here's some online.

There are no pre-drilled holes for aftermaket lights. I have custom installed some flush mounts (see pic). But haven't played with any Pods or lightbars yet.
It would be easy enough to mount them up on the top deck. Mark your holes, and drill away!

I'm 1 to 2 months backordered, depending on the configuration. Since I haven't built stock up yet, I'm asking for a 50% deposit to lock in your spot.
These bumpers are CNC lasered, CNC formed, 100% TIG welded, and lovingly hand finished. There's a ton of time that goes into them. Much respect to guys like @benc and @reevesci who build this stuff with their own two hands. I can tell you there is a difference, hopefully you guys can give us the opportunity for you to see for yourselves.

@kavic, gorgeous bumpers--did you ever get started on a list of winches that will fit for sure?

I'm using a VR12000 Warn winch for fit up. I can tell you it is a tight fit with the winch tucked up this high and tight. In fact, I don't think you could run a winch with the Control Box in the center. There is a small strut behind the middle of the grill that may interfere. Make sure the Control Box can be mounted off to one side (like the VR), and you should be ok.
Here's a pic of the first design. I'm wasn't real happy with the way it fit, so there is a 2nd gen design at the laser house now. I'll post pics on the new one when it's ready.
Might be interested in a black powder coated with turn signals. What would the price be on something like this? Thanks
Sorry for the delay in getting the pics of the bumper up. I Added a few pics to show the details of the lines along the body and also the stack of dimes welds. Really good work all around!
The motivation for me to get this bumper was to prolong the life of my AHC. The LX has 191k currently and is on a new set of AHC Globes and OEM AHC rear coil springs.. I ran pressure tests prior to installing the Bumper and was spot on with neutral pressures. After the install there was NO CHANGE! Just what I was hoping for.
Oh, I also got it because it's the best looking bumper out there.
Hats off to Brian @Kavikoffroad for a stellar product!
