I called that dealer, and they need the rep to get back to them for price and availability. Probably going to wind up being a pain in the ass

I called a dealer nearby for you as well, they quoted $750 with free shipping if it goes to the shop, and an extra $150 for freight if you want to your door. So it seems $750 is about the going rate. Probably best just to stick with CarID.
 
Doesn't looks like CarID has free shipping on this, at least to Portland, OR. I was quoted $220 in their shopping cart.

I do have a few dealers near me, though...

That’s a bummer shipping shows free until you enter your address. Then it calculates. Not as good of a deal for sure.
 
Can anyone with this bumper take measurements of the turn indicator openings ? Trying to figure out another use for those holes.

One more thing, howcome you guys dont have an opening for the winch cable ? All the official photos and the owners manual show it.

Called a local TJM dealer in Houston and they wanted to pass the near $200 shipping charge on to me. Instead I ordered from Bumpersuperstore.com with free shipping and no tax. I'll update the thread when(if) it arrives to my house.
 
That's where i would end up buying from anyway. can't beat free shipping. Did you order the winch plate as well? i'd love to see it once you have it on there, or even before. Are you a member of the bayou city cruisers?

I didn't get the plate at this time. I'll definitely post pics before and after. Not a member of that club. I just picked up my LX470 a few weeks ago and loving it.
 
The bumper arrived at my house on Monday morning. Install was fairly easy once I got everything laid out. I did have to trim around the headlights to make it fit flush. Ordered from bumpersuperstore.com. $749 shipped and no tax.

That looks great! Is the trimming an lx specific issue?

Any update on the size of the light opening?

What do you think of it's build quality? Any indication of where it's made?

Sorry for all the questions

I'd love to see it in person one day if you don't mind.

Build quality is great IMO. The box said Made in China. I'll measure the lights and report back. Are you local to the Houston area? To my understanding the trimming is LX specific for all years and possibly 03+ on the LC (read that in this thread somewhere).

I'd really appreciate that!
I was afraid it was made there. Bummer.

Yes, work in Southwest Houston and live in NorthWest Houston.

Would love to meet up sometime, maybe for a coffee or at the next bayou City cruisers meet.
 
Picking mine up Friday, and hastily installed it the next day. First impressions are the packaging it comes in is top notch, the cardboard by itself weighed like 30 lbs! The fitment and quality is on point for the price and it looks great. Install went off without a hitch and spliced in the fog lights and turn signals into OEM wiring, good to go, loving this bumper!!!

I installed mine and I'm looking to add a light bar to it. What is the width/lumens of your bar? Link to where you bought it? Did you wire it to the factory fogs? Looks great!
 
Can anybody give me the size of those light openings on that bumper? Trying to figure out if i can squeeze led lights in there.
 
Yeah, I get that there are plenty of bumper vendors who may/may not have a good product, and I respect Dissents work and have recommended his product to others. For moi, one of my neighbors here in Tx has a TJM on an 80 series. And guess what? It works and still looks good. pushing 25 years old at least.

If I decide that a head on collision with a rhino or face plant on a trail into solid rock is a risk I'm taking, I'll take a deeper look at welding. But as others mention, this was an upgrade over a factor bumper that was little more than paper. My rig goes long distances at a time, not short distances on horrid terrain. My primary goals was to strengthen lightly and provide a place to hang the christmas lights without adding more tonnage and tipping the scales.


If you are looking at this from a cost/functional value framework, thee TJM is hard to beat.
