Do you want a tire carrier or a bumper, or a bumper with a tire carrier? There are lots of options out there.
Besides that I have low confidence in the welds between the bumper and the hitch so now scared to tow anything heavy
They are supposed to be making me some new brackets which might help. It’s been a few months though so not holding my breath… I expect a body shop tab before it’s done.
One more thing to note, the rear bumper is a bolt on but the air compressor for rear air suspension is in the way of the driver side bracket. Expect to remove or modify the air compressor location if you want to properly install the victory strike bumper on the GX 470. Their installation video makes it look super easy but that part was tricky and took some time to figure out
explore overland is going to make this bumper for GXs. https://explore-overland.com/shop/ols/products/explore-overland-high-clearance-tube-bumper

I was just able to get in on the pre production order, so im pretty pumped about that. lead time is long but i knew that going in. eventually ill probably get their hybrid front bumper as well, the price point is just too good!
Dissent Off-road! we are just announcing our GX 470 rear bumper program, we are scheduled to finish the project in January and start production.
Rear bumper will support dual swings and all four of our standard Land Crusier swing arms carry over (tire carrier, tray table, triple jerry can holder, large vertical accessory panels)
Same swing arms will work on the gx rear:

That's awesome to see a company making a product at a reasonable price! I see too many vendors pricing items at twice their value and shrugging their shoulders and saying, "materials are too expensive".
Call or email Expedition One and ask them about their GX470 rear bumper. They said earlier this year they were working on one with the same opening design as the FJ which I have and love. I don’t care for swing outs that I have to first unlatch and open before getting to the rear door. But that’s just me.
If Expedition One ever gets the GX bumper for sale, I will be getting one.

That’s what drew me too it. I wanted something that carried my tires for a reasonable price
Any update on this? A rear tube bumper priced like that 4R one would be sweet
i ordered one. lead time is silly. should be here around late march early april
Cool- looking forward to the feedback. Hope all is good.
Company seems to have a excellent reputation, they’re communicating very well, so far so good.
Anyone heard of true north fabrications? They have a hybrid bumper like the explore overland one and similarly priced. Have a DIY kit too. Looks like you have to trim off a bit of the stock bumper and the tube bumper sits underneath it.

i think i follow them on insta but i havent talked to anyone with one. pretty straightforward design though.
Hey apologies if I missed this, but is it confirmed they’re producing / taking orders for this bumper for the GX?
Love the look of tune bumpers, and that 4runner one is exactly what I want for my GX.
I just ordered one, lead times will put it here in April probably
Dope! Thank you for confirming. Should be an awesome bumper for ya.
take it they just don’t have the rear on their site yet?
