Thank you! Just did this install on my 2007 Land Cruiser and your video made things a lot easier. Total install time for me was about 5 hours, including a brunch break.
The Cruiser looks heaps better with the bar installed, it makes the vehicle look finished. Sounds funny the way you guys call them a bumper 😂. Down here they’re called Bull Bars or Hopper Stoppers (Kangaroo stoppers) 😂👍
I love it! I am officially changing what I call it to hopper stopper 😆😆😆 Thanks man! I was so happy when I got this on, really looks great, is super stout, and gives me pice of mind. No roos out here but plenty of white tail deer. Thanks for the comment from down under!
Great video. Glad you worked on it with the kiddos. Installing one now on my LX now. Also a mud member :) It’s been difficult to get it knocked out on my own…and we have a newborn so one afternoons work has turned in to the better part of a week. Been driving the wives GX though, so not terrible. Excited to see it finished though.
thanks man! i love it when he gets involved! he's pretty pumped about the new roof top tent so i think he'll be helping out a bit more over the next few months 😁
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! Rear bumper, absolutely, although it might be a while. I am hoping to pick one up late this year. Still a little on the fence about which one and I think the lead times for the options are pretty long. Thanks for checking us out! As soon as I can get past my currently busy day job I will be back to posting regularly.
@@BradyAdventures no need to apologise, there's only so much time in a day! I recently bought an '02 Cruiser and have been checking out some bumpers. Sleep seems great but pricey. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks man! Yeah I like the slee and really like the newest descent bumper. They are both pretty damn expensive that's why it's slipped down on the list. Keep you eyes peeled and I'll be back with some vids in the near future!
Hello, great video! I bought the same bumper with all the accessories except the bolts, spacers and nuts. Any idea if they can be found anywhere on amazon ?
Thanks for your video. I live in Melbourne Australia where these bars are designed and used to be made. I’m concerned with the fixings and might corrosion spray the bolts after fitting. I’m interested in how popular Landcruisers are over there. In Australia, they are the car that goes anywhere. I own a 96 80 series in mint condition and now have bought the 06 100 series in mint condition. Would love to hear your thoughts. Regards Dan
I spray everything on my rog with fluid film, it's a pretty populary anticorrosive. 80 serises and older cruiser are jard to find and very sought after here. up until a few years ago 100 series were easy to pick up cheap but the have really gone up in popularity, value, and it's getting harder to find them here without a lot of rust. I see good deals every now and then but the 100s are developing pretty serious cult status. thanks for checking us out
I am having a little trouble locating the 98-02 instructions but I think that is correct that you only need to cut on the 03+ bumper. I spent a little time on ih8mud.com attempting to verify. You can always send an email to arb and request both sets of instructions and can compare.
One thing there is a different bumper for 98-03 and 04-up. I believe the bumper fits the same years pretty much the same way except for the upper antenna mounts on the bull bar will interfere with the hood opening so you have to cut them off. I would search around on ih8mud to see what people ran into with the lx. Check out this page, guy posted pics of cutting the mounts and getting the bumper on his lx forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ikarus-lx470-offroad-build.965065/page-5#post-11320808
The LX has the turn signals in the factory bumper. The lights on the outboard side of the headlights are marker lights only. If you want them to function like they do on a LandCruiser, you'll need to scavenge the 3-way receiver off the factory turn signal in the bumper and do a conversion on each outboard marker light. You'll then need to splice the lines in. It's a bit more involved than what would be done on a LandCruiser. Also, the LX has the grill affixed to the hood. The LandCruiser grill is not part of the hood. As a consequence, you may need to mod the spacers (under the frame horn attachments) or mod the grill attachment arms to allow the grill to clear the bullbar when opening the hood. I have the Ironman version of this bumper (as do many others on Mud). I did those mods and it added another hour or two for installation. Completely do-able.
I highly recommend ih8mud if you have a 100 series. Pertty sure I used this thread to help me out. forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-signal-running-lights-on-03-07-arb-combo-bar.490211/ Thanks and good luck!
I don't think this one will fit. If I remember correctly the earlier years of the 100 series have a different ARB bumper. It's similar but different. I would check out Ih8mud.com and search the 100 series forum you'll find tons of information.
Hmm I'm not completely sure, I have spotty internet right now but would look for an answer on ih8mud, I should have good internet in a day or two let me know if you found an answer or not and I'll help you out.
Looking good man! I have been waiting for a video on this install for some time now, thanks for the great video. Maybe it's just me but I was surprised the spots that needed to be drilled weren't done already by ARB. Any chance you can post the Amazon link for the Bosch connectors you mentioned?
Thanks man! I think the main reason they are not predrilled is the slight variations from vehicle to vehicle, so it allows for fine tuning the exact bumper position. I forgot that connector link but will post something late tomorrow. I am in spotty internet country 😁 if you don't here from me by tomorrow night shoot me a msg and I'll get back to ya.
uh ok, it isn't a bosch connector it's a deutsch. I saw a guy using these and decided from now on if I ever thought I might need to disconnect the wires for maintenance or whatever I would use these. Wish I had used them for some of my dual batter install. There are lots of options for wire size and number of wires amzn.to/2VU8KsM sorry it took me so long to get back to you!
Hey man, i still have a ton of footage i need to work on and plans for more. Work got crazy this summer and my personal life along with it. I hope to be back at it before too much longer. Thanks for checking in!
Thanks man! This particular model has the cradle built into the frame of the bumper. I expect I'll be putting a winch in sometime during the next few months. Don't ussually need it but piece of mind!
I would love to do a SAS on mine! I am assuming it's way out of range for me though. i did see a recent Instagram post from trailtailor and looks like he might be working on a kit 🤞 thanks for checking us out!
Ha bud those eyelets that you said you could run a hook onto, their not a load rated recovery point don’t even think about using them, their only used as a tie down point for shipping!! Their as bad as using ya tow ball with a snatch strap. You just don’t do it
@@BradyAdventures look at the Warn 9.5xp-s lotta bang for the buck, but honestly many people speak very highly of the badlands winches and they are 1/3 the cost of the Warn.
Stedi has a great set of led fog lights available directly from their website. I bought them and highly recommend! forum.ih8mud.com/media/albums/2007-toyota-landcruiser-overland-and-minimalist-stereo-design.5678/
its really good when young generation helping to the parents, it will help in the future.
I really enjoy your videos, you work with family.
Thanks man! I really love getting them involved and hope they gain some of the passion I have for cool projects.
Loved the video. I’ve been torn on which bumper. You guys just helped me finalize my choice and go the same route! :) can’t wait!
Awesome! Glad we could help, we really love this bumper!
Thank you! Just did this install on my 2007 Land Cruiser and your video made things a lot easier. Total install time for me was about 5 hours, including a brunch break.
Awesome man, so glad it was helpful for you!
Great video, I just bought an LX470 yesterday and this is next, it's already been OME'd 2.5"... This video will definitely help me in my install.
Awesome! Good luck with your build!

Dude so rad! I subscribed due to your cruiser and how patient you are through the process with the kids good work!
Thanks so much! I love getting the family involved 😁
that looks like it was quite a bit of hard work, the finished product looked worth it though
yeah it was definitely more work than I thought but definitely worth it! It has been on a year now and is still perfect! Thanks for checking us out!
nice, the final look looks great, thanks for the video
Thanks man!
It’s a good video to watch man love it
thanks man!

5:58 you broke your drill bit because you were going too fast. when drilling steel you need torque not speed.
Yep think your right and that particular drill doesn't have very good speed control. I'll keep that in mind for the next job thanks!
So, you have to use the angle grinder to cutoff those pieces only on the 03+
I am having a little trouble locating the 98-02 instructions but I think that is correct that you only need to cut on the 03+ bumper. I spent a little time on ih8mud.com attempting to verify. You can always send an email to arb and request both sets of instructions and can compare.
The piece will need to be cut on all 100 series trucks
I was wondering if the lights on my LX470 will fit the same way. Do you know if the bumper is universal for both?

Would this bumper fit on my 99 LX470? If so which model/part number is this bumper so I can order the right one....
I don't think this one will fit. If I remember correctly the earlier years of the 100 series have a different ARB bumper. It's similar but different. I would check out Ih8mud.com and search the 100 series forum you'll find tons of information.
How do the blinkers work if you have an LX? The side markers on my LX are just constant amber and the turn signals are down next to the fog lights.

The drilling crap pissed me off when i did this with my tacoma, so then decided to just weld the brackets on. Screw drilling
not a bad idea, that's still a skill i need to pick up!
What tires are you running on your Land Cruiser?

Your absolutely right! I have since upgraded to legit recover points. Thanks for the feedback!
Did you ever go with a winch?
Not yet, I plan to get one soon. I am still torn on which one to go with though.
