100 Series Land Cruiser High Clearance Rear Bumper Kit

This is a high clearance DIY weld-together rear bumper kit for the (1998-2007) 100 Series Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470. It provides excellent protection for the rear of your Land Cruiser and the high clearance design hugs the factory rear crossmember for unbeatable ground clearance and departure angle. Simply put, you can not get any more rear end clearance without cutting the vehicle's frame and body! This bumper is a direct replacement for the factory rear bumper. This means that no cutting or modification of any factory components is required for the installation of this bumper. Simply unclip the factory rear bumper and mounting brackets and begin bolting this bumper kit onto your Land Cruiser! This also means that no frame modification of any kind is required.

The profile of this bumper has been designed with maximum ground clearance and departure angles put first. The bumper sits as high and tight to the rear frame crossmember of the 100 Series Land Cruiser as possible, while the angled side wing faces will smoothly slide over obstacles and ensure you do not get hung up on the trail. The side wings of this bumper provide un-interrupted plate protection that wraps underneath the vehicle and into the vehicle frame. These side wings will take a serious hit without flexing or deflecting into the vehicle body. We know that many 100 Series Land Cruiser owners want to run oversized tires, which often create interference and rubbing issues with the stock bumper. We have thought ahead and specifically designed these bumper side wings to clear 35" tires. To protect the vulnerable rear corners of your Land Cruiser, this bumper is available with optional tubing side hoops that will help push your Land Cruiser away from trees and rock walls.

The main section of this bumper is CNC-bent out of a single piece of  3/16" P&O Steel. This greatly reduces the amount of welding and grinding required by you and makes for a cleaner finished product. If you are paying to have the bumper assembled by a welding shop, this significantly lowers the cost. \n \nWe finished this bumper off with optional single and dual swing out carriers, a high clearance hitch receiver, tabs for optional surface mount LED pod lights (custom cut outs available by request), and heavy duty 9/16" recovery points that are placed directly in line with the 100 Series Land Cruiser frame to eliminate any leveraging effects. These recovery points are formed out of laser cut steel plates that pass through the bumper shell and tie directly into the bumper's main mounting points on the 100 Series Land Cruiser frame. The recovery points then get welded to the in and outside of the bumper shell. These factors all combine to form recovery points that minimize stress on your 100 Series Land Cruiser frame and provide reliable recoveries of heavily loaded vehicles in the worst of offroad situations. What could make this bumper even better? The low profile design has resulted in very reasonable weights of 135lbs for the steel bumper and 67lbs for the aluminum version. Considering that this bumper replaces your factory bumper, hitch receiver and associated components, the resulting weight increase to your 100 Series Land Cruiser is surprisingly minimal. This reduces added stress on your vehicle, maintains precious payload capacity, and allows you to keep your factory suspension if desired.

The swing out tire carrier comes in either a single or dual sided configuration and is built to accept a tire up to 37" in diameter! Both carriers include mounting brackets for a hilift jack and other recovery items. The dual swing out includes the hilift mount as well as a lockable jerry can holder designed to fit two 20L NATO style jerry cans. These carriers feature heavy duty chromoly heim joint hinges, 2000lb toggle latches, T-handle spring pins, and a replaceable UHMW catch pad that provides secure, rattle free operation. The heim joints in conjunction with the toggle latch provide tons of adjustability, allowing for easy assembly and guaranteed alignment of the carrier latch. The single swing out add-on weighs 34lbs and the dual swing out add-on with gas can holder weighs 77lbs.

• DIY Weld-together kit - This bumper arrives as precision CNC-laser cut and bent pieces that you then weld together (detailed assembly instructions included)

• CNC-bent plates greatly reduces amount of welding and grinding required by you and makes for a cleaner finished product

• Bolts directly to frame using 12 factory mounting points  - NO Drilling, cutting or welding of the actual vehicle required. This bumper can be installed and removed from your 100 Series Land Cruiser/ LX470 without a trace that it was ever there.

• Slim profile is engineered to provide maximum ground clearance and complement the factory body lines

• Heavy duty 3/16" plate steel construction for maximum offroad strength and durability

• Optional 1/4" 5052 aluminum construction for a lightweight yet very durable overlanding setup (68lb weight savings)

• Optional 2" hitch receiver is contoured for a clean look and further clearance gains (While the hitch is very well reinforced, we cannot rate it for on-road towing due to the DIY welding nature of this kit)

• Compatible with some factory and aftermarket hitch receivers - please email us photos of your hitch receiver for confirmation

• Reinforced 9/16" thick clevis mounts allow the use of 3/4" D-Rings and pull directly off of the frame for confident recoveries of heavily loaded vehicles

• All kits ship as clean, bare metal that is ready to weld out of the box - the Nitrogen laser cutting technology means no cutting edge oxidation and thus easier and stronger welds

• Optional Single and Dual Swing out carriers with spare tire mount, hilift jack mount and locking dual NATO can holder (dual swing out only)

• Optional LED lights include adjustable mounting tabs to mount the lights either on the swing outs or on top of the bumper

PLEASE NOTE: For the "Vehicle Frame Style" product option, please email us a picture of the back of your Land Cruiser if you are unsure. For some later model year 100 series, the factory hitch receiver was recessed into the rear crossmember of the frame and the mounting holes on the rear face of the frame near the hitch receiver are spaced wider apart as a result. We make versions of this bumper to accommodate both bolt patterns (3.375" width and 4.3125" width).
