Off road bumpers are an easy and effective way to protect your overland or off road vehicle from damage on the trail. Most factory bumpers are made to absorb impacts rather than deflect them and as a result, crumple easily if you hit a rock or tree. This can get expensive quickly! Off road bumpers are typically made of steel or aluminum and provide significant impact resistance, especially when compared to the factory bumper. Additionally, aftermarket off road bumpers come with options like a place to mount a winch, d-ring or soft shackle mounting points to help you pull yours or others' vehicles out of a ditch, auxiliary light mounting points, and many integrate with your specific vehicles options like headlamp washers, parking sensors and marker lights.
When purchasing an off road bumper you should consider your budget and how you intend to use the bumper. There are a wide range of prices and options and you are sure to find something that works for most of what you need. Also consider how easily the bumper will install, whether you can do it yourself, and the quality of installation instructions/videos/documentation from the manufacturer.
Ultimately, an off road bumper added to your vehicle adds functionality as well as good looks and becomes a personal statement of your rig. Consider the options carefully and select the off road bumper that works best for you. Have fun on the trails!

Which LED fog lights do you recommend for your Victory Strike bumper that will wire up directly to the OEM fog light wires within issues? I have a 2021 GX460 and want to wire the new fogs directly to the OEM wiring without issues. Thank you

[@blurglide]

I have a DV8. It has great fit and finish, but with two serious flaws: the fairlead mount is too narrow and too high, which causes the rope to drag on a sharp edge with a LOT of force. It also lacks recovery points

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Yeah no d-rings on the front is a bummer... do you use something like the Treaty Oak frame mounted recovery hooks instead? Do you know (or have a guess) of how much that thing weighs? I wasn't able to find it to include in my spreadsheet at docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ef-qdBDa55iqD4WmdeX6b5v4tgU-__VBlFV4WFa5rs8/edit?usp=sharing. Thanks for the feedback on the fairlead... now that I look at it more closely it does look very narrow. Can't tell from the pics that it's too high so actual user opinion is great!

[@cprguy2]

You should see the video of the guy that had his DV8 rip his rig apart.

[@plumtiger1]

how much clearance to the stealth bumpers add?

I haven’t waded into the 470 waters yet (actually used to have one). Have you seen this one - kinda looks hybrid - but $$ overlander.com/products/afn-4x4-front-winch-bumper-lexus-gx470?currency=USD&variant=40516013555868&Google%20Shopping&gclid=CjwKCAiA4veMBhAMEiwAU4XRr-QuN3_NWjUwZcidcI8PyLF-YoYf80skILvCwZ3fI5hNe977Y2F4jRoCEscQAvD_BwE

[@10txram]

As someone that JUST bought one and installed, Ironman need to be WAYYYY more specific on these bumpers. If you have a premium and want to keep your headlight washers and sensors you need to get the PREMIUM bumper! They don't specify this anywhere. Also, they suck at customer service, I can't install my blinker because the nut holes are stripped, and a few other odds and ends. Horrible customer service.

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Thats too bad but thank for sharing your experience. Hopefully it was a “Monday” bumper.

[@Maximus01776]

agree about customer service, ironman customer service is some of the worst in the industry, l did order the lift kit from them and lots of headaches while dealing with a guy name Adam

[@JoeGX460]

Which one is easy to install and can resist snow and salt in North America?

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Oh that would be the… ummmmm…. It’s…. Well….. can I get back to you on that one? 😂😂😂

[@skj468]

Are there any no cut options? Does the ARB one require cutting or drilling? Thank you so much

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Not really - even the least impactful models require some cutting/drilling. The goal is to remove some of the Gx460 front overhang to improve clearance - it’s biggest handicap in stock form.

[@nenigma1]

Google NYTOP. They have 2 options. your welcome

THANK YOU for this-- GREAT video. Does any of this line up with 470 also?? and which 460s have the BARN DOOR in back and which do NOT?

They all have barn doors. Thanks for the comments!

[@kellyshort]

@@davidwayne9982 the GX (and similar Prado) has always had a barn door. Starting in 2010 the rear window could be lifted up while the door remained closed. The similar, but different Lexus LX provides a tailgate and lift glass. Perhaps that is what you are referring to.

I really wish the blitz was offered in steel construction.

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Yep it’s only offered in aluminum. Out of curiosity why do you prefer steel?

[@reactiondc2]

@@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad I don’t trust the strength of aluminum. In my experience aluminum seems to have a finite lifespan with heavy use. I could imagine launching one of the snatch points off the front of the bumper in the event of used.

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

@@reactiondc2 makes sense. Steel is hard to beat on strength (as long as it stays rust free).

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Lol! Like a newspaper being printed on paper, it’s outdated the moment the ink hits the paper! 😂😂🥲🥲 Thanks for letting me know. On the plus side - the Victory bumper still scored well enough to take the top spot.

[@Maximus01776]

Carlos Eugenio l think Victory bumpers are made in china, they have an insane lead time, of 30-90 days, do your research before buying from any company, there is people complaining about the Victory rock sliders, they don't fit, there is a video here in youtube and in the gx forums

[@americanadreaming]

7:11 Is that a 'Carolina Squat' GX? Thing looks awful. Without a rake, looks like something driven by the morbidly obese types with face and neck tattoos. And great video, you sold me on the CBI, good s**t man.
