Finally in this last video of the series on the complete build of the Dissent Off-Road No Cut Modular Rear Bumper for the Landcruisers 100 series and Lexus LX 470, I finish assembling the swing arms and give a lot of details and some great time saving tips on the entire process. I also mount the tire carrier and jerry can holder accessories onto each swing arms and finally do a big reveal of the completed bumper.
The bumper is massively stout and will NOT disappoint you. Ben, the owner of Dissent Off-Road and his team do an amazing job at putting out a fantastic product, hand built right here in the USA and with an attention to details that will amaze you.
I chose the all steel bumper however some parts of the accessories are made of top grade aluminum for weight saving. The black powder coating is equally impressive and the entire bumper and accessories arrived extremely well packed without a single scratch.
My options for this bumper were
- Rear base bumper (steel)
- Tire carrier with aluminum riser and flip up table
- Basket and tray accessory mount (require for the jerry can holder) include the secondary hitch receiver for mounting bike racks!
- 3 Jerry can basket
- Accessory swing arms (needed if you want 2 swing arms)
- Hi-lift mount
