Great news! I'm looking forward to how you handle fitment and what adjustments have to be made for the LX570 fascia.

Lets see what I got myself into. Hopefully not too bad. But one step at a time
Ok guys... about 3 hours in.. and I may have an idea so no metal bending on LX570 or anything... lets see
Alright guys check this out. This is fitment without one bend or cut!
This is the trick.
the LX has a longer front.
so move the winch tray position forward so you only use two of the three bolt holes.
i am then just going to drill a third on the side
I think its much better of a start than I thought!
need to figure out the internal supports for the sides since they are held by the chassis support which did not move forward, but does not seem hard.
cheers

This will be epic if you get a simple solution for the LX. What model year LX do you have?
2008... honestly this is not that bad. I have been setting aside for a month and decided to got at it tonight.
i still think I am going to set the winch plate back again and do some small cuts to clear lights and body work... this thing is bitchin and the quality is incredible
i put some red lines of where I will cut and then just set back. The rest is patience and cutting the bumper up. Honestly dont mind. Never going back to it!
that looks pretty good. Limit cuts like outlined no big deal.
Alright guys.
here is the money shot...
Two cuts each side

moar wing pics are required
Do you have any pre pinch mold? And maybe a couple measurements to aid others on the material removed?
With bar!
by wings you mean the sides?
I will do a write up and explain but basically it is following the same angle as the body work, because the. You can cut the upper part of bumper and put it all as one piece. Fyi the winch mount that support everything moves back to front and left to right a bit so you can put body work and just push back to anug up fit and then tighten bolts.
the main thing is getting comfortable with only uaing two not three bolts on winch tray effectively moving everything forward 3 inches. The 4 bolts left are bigger than winch bolts so should not be issue but will add the additional two when I am sure it is all set and done.
Also picks of the cuts below. Fyi not a good cutter or welder. Maybe a 6 out of 10. Just get a good metal cutting disc.
great. thanks for clarifying. So basically moving forward one position on the bumper frame, and the pictured trimming to match to the lights and fascia. I thought maybe you had decided to cut and the cutting removed the need to push the bumper forward one position.
That was my idea but finally decided not to move back to original position as I think I need the flexibility when putting body work.
Also very important. I got the bumper for the 2016+ land cruiser. It is more square. And this is why probably i needed the space.
