Removed front mudflaps and had to do a little heat gun work on the front liners but it was minimal.

Tires look good. 285 70 r17?
If there is enough interest, I can get some made. I would need someone to get me dimensions and material properties though.
You can use this as a template and put in the correct dimensions.

With an Ironman front bumper, winch, more power puller (winch), sliders, arb rear bumper, Wilco hitch swing, roof basket, full load out of tools, hilift (and more) plus 7500 lb boat attached, the lx doesn’t squat at all.SO........, it looks like a smoking deal on a Bull Bar bumper until you consider adding a REQUIRED upgrade to the suspension to handle the weight increase of all that steal and a winch...... suddenly the savings seem to evaporate. I'd appreciate some advice from those who are running an Ironman Bull Bar bumper. Did you upgrade your suspension, or are you running heavy (squatting) with the OEM? Thanks for the guidance!

I didn't get around to making any. I'll look into more next week, when I get back home.Hey, did you ever get around to making these? I think most folks with bumpers other than ARB/TJM/Ironman could be interested in one.
ARB can supply replacement for like $200 shipped (and 6+ month wait). TJM will absolutely not. Trying to see if Ironman would sell them.
I think they’re crash tested/rated…it’s been a long time but I think I read that to be sold in Australia, they have been tested…meaning I think airbags still function.Has anyone seen how an Ironman bumper holds up in an accident? Obviously I know each accident has a million factors. I just see TJM and ARB mention accidents and crash testing and don’t really see much for Ironman.
Yeah, I figure they are because Australia, and that’s what I’m looking for because of deer, but then they don’t mention it anywhere in their site or anywhere online. Both ARB and TJM have not only mentions but even videos about their designs and being built to follow factory crumple zones and allow for airbags and what not.I think they’re crash tested/rated…it’s been a long time but I think I read that to be sold in Australia, they have been tested…meaning I think airbags still function.
The main purpose of them, I think, is to provide a bit of extra protection in the event of an animal strike. They are, after all, modeled after arb (a [kanga]roo bar)
Nice. Thank you.
