Lexus 570 - after market bumpers (1 Viewer)

[TexasPat]

New to this world, but having trouble finding compatible aftermarket bumpers for the 2009 LX570. Is it compatible with certain Land Cruisers?

On the front I’m looking for something low profile with hidden winch capabilities.

For the back, I’d like something that includes at least a spare tire option.

On the tires, I probably won’t go bigger than a 34, so to negate the need for any extra body or suspension.


Just starting down this road, Any and all help/directions would be greatly appreciated!

look at @radman and @tbisaacs build threads. many armored lx on the forum now.

Its more straightforward than you think. Ironman bumper, winch, sliders, 34x11.5 tires. Most any front bumper will fit. Sliders have to deal with AHC but there are now 3 vendors making them. Rear bumper you have to work around AHC pump but many have made it work. Slee makes a 570-specific option, CBI will if you call them, and the ARB will fit as is (no side wing brackets).

Def like the look of what you did! Did you lift yours at all? I was think 2” at most would do.

All I’ve done was adjust the front height sensor to raise the nose about 1.5”. Height control functions normally otherwise.

Same. Dissent aluminum with steel reinforcement. The base of the swingarms are also steel.

Luckily you are in the golden age of aftermarket support for LXs. Many bumper and armor options these days. You should check out the official LX570 picture thread as you can learn quite a lot there:

Official LX570s Picture Thread

Yes I know there is a 200 series picture thread, and naturally this covers both the Land Cruiser and the LX 200 series cruisers.. I thought it would be cool if we started a LX picture thread since most of the pics on the 200 series pic thread are of the LC.. I am having a hard time finding pics...

Metaltech, CBI (you’ll have to call them).

All I’ve done was adjust the front height sensor to raise the nose about 1.5”. Height control functions normally otherwise.

I adjusted my sensors and hardly got anything from it. The drivers side is all the way up and the passenger is where it was (about mid-point) and all it did was bring the drivers side up a bit to match the passenger in N setting (less than 1/2"). I raised the passenger side sensor up but the LX would never settle on a height. It kept wanting to adjust itself. I think I need to get TechStream.

Sounds like another issue you have there - my truck sits perfectly level side to side and front to back. I believe there are some threads on this board to troubleshoot this imbalance you are seeing.

Bit tangential, but in the first photo it’s interesting to see the difference between how the body and bumper flex. Can see why it is important to leave the proper amount of space between the two at installation time.
