May have to make a pilgrimage to that LC Heritage Museum! Didn't know such a Mecca existed.A "Technical" refers to a Land Cruiser equipped as such:

The "museum" they referenced in their video is the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum here in SLC:
Landcruiser Heritage Museum - Home
At the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum we celebrate the legacy of the Land Cruiser, in terms of both design and function. The Land Cruisers displayed at the museum are not just display pieces—they are veterans of countless adventures.landcruiserhm.com

Same here. It fits the classic 4x4 look more appropriately.I feel like the new wheels share a bit of an old school aesthetic with the big Ironman front bumper.
What bumper did you replace it with?I was never a fan of the Iron Man bumper (or any Iron Man products) and as soon as an other bumper was available I got rid of it. Access to the winch clutch, or visibility of the drum is poor at best. It did make a good example in class of what to look for when purchasing a bumper though.
I replaced it with the Victory Strike.What bumper did you replace it with?
I like the Ironman bumper, but I've always like the ARB-style since I was a kid. Winch drum/clutch access hasn't been an issue for me. The Ironman bumper is also crash tested, for whatever that's worth.
If there was a good looking tube bumper that integrated well into the front end and provided decent coverage, I'd be all over it. Something like these for the Tacos:

My bumper fits great. Was yours the Classic or Premium? They also no longer make the skid plates.I replaced it with the Victory Strike.
Way to much overhang on the Ironman, fitment issues, not really meant for the GX, they may have updated it since 2020. I went full in on Ironman in March of 2020. Bumper, recovery points, skid plates, upgraded lights etc. Skids didn't fit at all, upgraded lights had feathers in the bulb and light output was lacking, one of the recovery point welds cracked when tightened down, the bumper was bay far the worst fitting bumper I have ever installed.

Premium. The items I listed were removed from the website shortly after I had problems with Ironman, except the bumper. I think they may have reworked it to make it fit the power steering lines and radiator better.My bumper fits great. Was yours the Classic or Premium? They also no longer make the skid plates.
I really don't like the angle at which the winch fairlead sits at on the Victory Strike. It also weighs as much as the Ironman bumper.
Dig how that looks, but wrong coast unfortunately.
I remember reading about the issues you had. Kudos to you and your friend for the re-engineering! I'll have to explore that...Premium.

Yep, me neither! I decided I wasn't going to be able to purchase what I wanted so I reengineered it with the help of an engineer friend. I had quality issues with Victory as well. See below....

What's special about these? Military grade, very durable. Also quieter than metal when bouncing around on the trail.forum.ih8mud.com
