Lexus GX470 High Clearance DIY Winch Bumper Kit – Precision, Protection, and Performance
Unlock the full off-road potential of your 2003-2009 Lexus GX470 with this high clearance DIY weld-together winch bumper kit. Designed for serious adventurers, this bumper provides unparalleled protection from trail obstacles, animal strikes, and other off-road hazards, while offering one of the best approach angles available. The bolt-on design requires no drilling or cutting, allowing you to install and remove the bumper without leaving a trace on your vehicle.
Constructed from 3/16" P&O steel or optional 1/4" aluminum, this bumper offers excellent coverage from the bottom of the headlights to the front frame crossmember, ensuring full front-end protection when paired with stock or aftermarket skid plates. Weighing just 115 lbs in steel and 57 lbs in aluminum, it maintains a lightweight profile, reducing added stress on your GX470 while keeping performance high.
The low-profile design of this bumper hugs the vehicle closely, protruding less than 3" from the center of the grille, giving your GX470 maximum ground clearance and improved approach angles. The side wings wrap around the front wheel wells and tie directly into the main frame mounting plates, providing reliable off-road protection and clearance for oversized tires, including 35” options.
The bumper also features four integrated LED pod mounts, a protected winch mount for 8,000-12,000 lb winches, and reinforced recovery points with 9/16" thick clevis mounts welded directly to the frame for confident recoveries. Whether you're tackling tough terrain or pulling a heavily loaded vehicle out of a tough spot, this bumper is built for the toughest conditions.
