Bull Bar

[BMFS33]

Has anyone found a bull bar that looks like this one? This is from AI. The only ones that I have found are CA Tuned and DV8 and both of those the upper bar crosses the middle of the bumper. I’m hoping to find one where the top bar is above the front of the bumper, such as the one in this photo. I have to have a front plate and the two I found will not work.

Eliteracefab.com. They have this one which I just added to my LC. Very easy install, just the 4 bolts holding the tow rings on which you can keep also. Does not interfere with the sensors I did have to remove 2 plastic pieces around where the bar bolts up. They were just small air deflectors

Pick of my DV8

I'm sure you could call up DV8 or CA tuned and have them build a custom push bar for you. Provide the image above as a reference.

Im wondering if it has to do with the proximity sensors, which may be why they don't already do this? They're super sensitive.

Glance at the location of the bar work in relation to where the sensors are located.

It's a shame the Australian dealers won't ship LC250 market specific parts out of country.

Their photo shows a different position for the front radar sensor and relocated front plate location.

Very interesting, all the sensors are relocated. I didn't know this existed, only seen the factory bull bar.

I picked up on that one early just after taking delivery. Unfortunately, Toyota Australia has a strict "no shipping outside Australia" policy.

Have this but do not recommend it. The instructions were wrong, the item needed major modifications. Plus the sensors did not like it till it was pulled up tight to the grill. (Notice the strap retainer) See if you can find one thats recommended...

DV8 has a number of high quality / well-finished bull bars.

Their bull bar for the LC crosses the bumper so it will not work.

Will check on the sensors and give them a call.

That can't be accurate. I have seen numerous pictures of our LC's with DV8 bull bars.

That crosses the bumper right where the front plate is. Unfortunately that will not work.

Sounds like a modification would be in order.

I wish Toyota would offer an OEM Land Cruiser bull bar. Frankly, something made out of hard plastic and integrated nicely. For looks only. Akin to what Merc does with the G wagon.

I can definitely say adding a real bull bar isn't easy in the slightest. 14-16 hours of labor. For a platform you'd assume to be modular, they didn't make it easy.
