4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
Just noticed there doesn't seem to be any hangers for shackles. I must be missing something, huh?
Hey Noisy, you might suggest to them that they should provide installation documentation for those of us who may be doing this install in our garages.

I have not talked to them, info was second hand. Went by their shop though, a street bum told me they just left

Since other bumpers have had dedicated threads I thought that this alternative deserved some notice.
I called these guys and heres the story on the Landcruiser NW bumper: Apparently they made it as a one off custom job for Toyota and Revtek so they can use it in a show and to show it off in Moab. LCNW is hoping that by next week they can get it back, so that they can measure it out for a fabricator to mass produce. Theyve gotten lots of positive feedback on the bumper. At this point (before the fabricator has had a chance to look at it), They're guessing the bumper will be priced between $1200-$1500. However, don't know how soon it will be readily available. They said to check back in a week.
In any case, its a nice alternative/addition to the ARB, All-Pro, and Bentup bumpers that we've seen and drooled on so far.
One other thing, they will be working on a rear bumper shortly after they figure out the logistics of the front bumper. One other aftermarket part to look forward to.
They (LCNW) are still trying to find someone to make it. In its current form, it can't be mass produced. The bends are too close together for a bender to perform the bending operations (not enough leg length.) Randy (Revtek) told me that the orignal one on the yellow FJ was pieced together, welded, ground and powdercoated.
They'll have to relieve those bends, shallow them out, unless they want to hand piece together every one.
I spoke with LCNW today. They told me that they will be offering the front bumper sometime next month. But from what I hear from other members, they have been saying that for the last 4 months.
I'm definitely a fan of this bumper, moreso than others like ARB. This would look great w/ some All Pro/Trail Gear sliders coated silver.
My only concern (I'm a newbie wheeler) is that wouldn't this bumper create more wear and tear on the front of the engine because it doesn't shield the engine bay as much as the stock bumper?

Being offically on the list for a long time, and having called LCNW 15-20 times. ( I called LCNW the day it was on revtks site)As of 8-8-06, They are offically in mass production. They NEVER told me a few weeks til a few days ago. The co-owner said there were delays in legality paper work, and finding a company to do it.
Remember LCNW is a small company that NEVER intended to even make this bumper for sale. But they got so much response they did it to please us.
