70 Series Land Cruiser High Clearance Rear Bumper Kit

This is a high clearance DIY weld-together rear bumper kit for the 70 Series Toyota Land Cruiser. It provides excellent protection for the rear of your Land Cruiser while the high clearance design hugs the factory rear frame crossmember for unbeatable ground clearance and departure angle. Simply put, you can not get any more rear end clearance without cutting the frame and body of your Land Cruiser! This bumper is a direct replacement for the factory rear bumper. This means that no cutting or modification of any factory components is required. It mounts using 8 existing mounting points on the frame, further simplifying the install. This bumper kit is a direct fit for the mid-length body style shown. It is also compatible with Troop carrier and short wheelbase (2 door) 70 series models but modification of the bumper kit is required. The end result is a bumper that features entirely bolt-on construction, an optional 2" hitch receiver, and excellent protection from trail obstacles and distracted drivers alike.

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 70 Series Toyota 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 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 37" 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.

We finished this bumper off with optional single and dual swing out carriers, a high clearance hitch receiver, optional LED lights, and heavy duty 9/16" recovery points that are placed directly in line with the 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 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 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 92lbs for the steel bumper and 45lbs for the aluminum version. Considering that this bumper replaces your factory bumper, hitch receiver and associated components, the resulting weight increase to your 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 pieces that you then weld together (detailed assembly instructions included)

• Direct fit for mid-length body style shown. Modification of the bumper kit is required for Troop carrier and Short wheelbase (2 door) models

• 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 (47lb weight savings)

• Optional 2" hitch receiver is tapered 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)

• Mounts directly to frame using 8 factory mounting points - no drilling required.

• 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
