LX 570 Replacement Bumpers? (1 Viewer)

[PoppaBern]

I'm looking into buying a 570 but I want to make sure I can get a replacement bumper for it first. I've done a good bit of research but I'm not seeing any companies that make one specifically made for the 570. Am I correct in this statement? Who has modified their LX to put an ARB bumper on it and what modifications does it take?

Thanks!

Here's one with an ARB:

For Sale - OR: built 2018 LX570 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/or-built-2018-lx570.1246754/

there's another link in the ad with the particulars of the build.

The only LX570 specific front is made by Dissent.
There are plenty of lx with Aussie bull bars around, from arb, tjm, and Ironman, in all three generations. They fit with some cutting, but the install isn’t plug and play.
There are a couple LX compatible rears, Slee and Dissent. And a few have made others fit working around the ahc fluid reservoir which is in the right rear quarter.

Nearly any retail TLC front bumper will work with you LX. The difference is that the cut template you get with the bumper will be for a TLC. But otherwise the physical mounting of the bumper is identical.

Dissent Front/Rear Bumper install instructions (LX)

Yea, but I have a feeling it's going to be quite a bit of an angle. I'll tackle that soon. I was hoping the camera would land between my ladder rungs and not have to relocate, but alas, it's directly behind a riser.... Yeah the relo looks inevitable.

Dissent Front/Rear Bumper install instructions (LX)

Looks great! were you using the light converter? I plan on cutting the stock flaps and reattaching them to cover those areas. That should be the last bits of this how-to.... I didn't use the converter. I'm still not sure what the issue was with the blue brake wire, but if it had worked, the...

All the answers you seek can be found in this thread. Just start at the end and work your way backwards. You’’l see pretty much every single bumper, tire, light, drawer, rack, etc that has ever been attempted on a 570 and you’ll see some things that you you never even thought about being done to a 570

Time to castrate that resonator

Resonator Chop Roll Call

Question for those of you that have changed your tailpipe. I see you all still run it mostly out the back for clearance issues. Is there any reason that I couldn't run it 90 degrees straight out the side of the truck below the bumper and behind the mudflap, like a pickup? I realize this will...

Any land cruiser bumper should work. Same mount points. You’ll just have different cut lines on your LX

Hell yeah man. That looks great. Nothing like that new bumper smell.

Any plans for the swing outs?

Thank you and yes I hate it. Chop and extension next week.

Yes sir, pre-relocated the camera and had the lights wired in preparation for them. Next year I’ll buy the swing outs and freight them to me once I figure out the ideal configuration.

One that hasn’t been mentioned is the low profile CBI design they did for the J201.

Also, big fan of Ben’s work at Dissent.

 

[PoppaBern]

Hell yeah thanks for the info! This community is awesome! Now I've just got to find the right rig and start building!

I just put Dissent front and rear bumpers on my 16’. (Sorry I haven’t taken pics of the rear yet)

My goodness - I've got the same color in a 2018. Nice to know what it would look like with Ben's handiwork.

I think I spy SLEE sliders too. Do you like the fitment?

Yes those are the slee sliders. Personally I wish the sliders were more aggressive, tube style, and were not so low. They really look like stock, I doubt most people notice them. I suppose they get the job done. Funny thing is in a perfect world I’d have the front bumper a little less aggressive... But I am very happy with everything how it is. Everything is very functional, and thats what I was going for

I think you're describing the Metaltech 4x4 LX570 sliders. Though not much can be done for the 'so low' comment. The frame is where it's at.

My slee sliders have taken a beating for what it's worth. There is quite a bit of vertical adjustment in them too. I initially installed mine pretty low but was able to loosen them up a smidge and put a floor jack under to get tucked another inch or so. There is some risk in deflection when you have them close to the body but I haven't had a problem.

 

[DenverLX]

Yeah, I like the metal tech ones, but at the time the slee were the only ones available. That’s great to know they can take a real beating, I haven’t had the weight of the truck really smash them yet. One thing I like about my truck is that it doesn’t look too “overland” or extreme, I drive it daily and it mostly passes as a luxury suv. I just think it’s awesome that one vehicle is comfortable for road trips, hauls my trailer and s*** loads of gear, off-roads, is reliable and can impress business clients. I can’t think of a single other vehicle that does all that
