100 Series Land Cruiser & Lexus LX470 DIY Weld-Together Winch Bumper Kit
Take the off-road performance of the Toyota 100 Series Land Cruiser or Lexus LX470 to the next level with this high-clearance DIY weld-together winch bumper kit. Featuring a bolt-on design with no need for drilling or cutting, this bumper significantly improves approach angles and off-road capability without requiring any permanent modifications to the vehicle. Once installed, the vehicle can be easily returned to stock, making it ideal for adventurers who want flexibility without compromise.
The bumper is engineered from 3/16" P&O steel or 1/4" 5052 aluminum, designed to withstand tough off-road conditions while weighing just 82 lbs for the steel version and 41 lbs for the aluminum version. This lightweight but durable construction delivers excellent protection from rocks, trees, and animal strikes, while maintaining optimal performance. The integrated winch mount can accommodate standard 8,000 to 12,000 lb winches with removable solenoids, providing recovery capability wherever the trail takes you.
Additional features include recessed recovery points, reinforced with 9/16" clevis mounts that pull directly from the frame for safe, confident recoveries. These recovery points are strategically positioned to avoid leveraging forces and eliminate the catching risks traditional lugs pose. The bumper also integrates four LED pod mounts and includes slotted mounting tabs, allowing for flexibility when installing lights, and optional LED turn signals (required for Lexus LX470 models). The low-profile design ensures that the bumper protrudes less than 3 inches from the center of the grille, maximizing ground clearance and maintaining a sleek look.
This DIY bumper kit is designed with the novice welder in mind. Using CNC laser-cut and bent parts, assembly is straightforward and simple. Thanks to the slotted and tabbed design, the pieces fit together perfectly, reducing the amount of welding and grinding required. Comprehensive assembly instructions are included, featuring detailed diagrams and clearly labeled parts, all made using advanced CAD software. Many first-time welders have used this kit with great success, learning a valuable skill while creating a high-performance bumper. For those who prefer professional assembly, local welders can complete the job at a lower cost compared to fully fabricated bumpers, and the reduced shipping costs for the kit make it a cost-effective option.
