I went with Dissent Off-Road’s front bumper. Nestled in that bumper is a Comeup 12.5 winch.

Looks amazing! I believe I was the first public order! Now the waiting game.

Yeah, they used my GX for the prototyping. Ben and his team are freaking amazing!

Agreed! I’ve had their products on several previous vehicles. I also discussed with Ben the possibility of sending my GX to him for prototyping, but timing didn’t workout. You beat me to it! Your GX looks great, what are the suspension specs?

I would love a covert bumper similar to what they have made for the LX600 but I'm not holding my breath.

Victory front bumper, no lights included ($,2349)
CBI front bumper no lights ($1,710) with light bar ($2,585)
JW w/ powdercoat ($1,550)

Why the large price diff between Victory and the other 2 ?

I believe the price difference is due to Victory's being aluminum versus steel.

Thank you. Does it come down to personal preference when choosing between aluminum and steel? Steel for strength and better impact, aluminum for weight savings?

I believe so. Some might choose aluminum paired with a winch to reduce weight. I'm certainly in that category. My nearly built out rig is 400 lbs from max GVWR for the OT+ so any savings would be good.

This was the front runner for a front bumper but now I'm definitely having second thoughts on it. I don't suppose I really need a winch for what I do.

Hey Everyone.... Here is a link to a YouTube video Dissent Off Road posted on what to look for in a front/rear bumper. Quite informative on what to look for and why.

Very good video, with all the new crap on these vehicles, you want to make sure you get one that if and when they are ever needed they actually function as they should!

From JW site:

I know exactly what you mean. If the lights get totally moved and need to be re-bolted into place, this whole bumper will need to come off.

I put 3" Rigid cubes in those spaces and no matter how hard I try to tighten the hex-head bolts that hold the Rigid cubes to the Rigid mounting brackets, they can still move under force. I can almost move them up & down with my thumb from the outside.

Add some kind of lock washer like the star lock washers to prevent slippage?

Hey everyone, I am currently aware of two front winch bumper options for the GX550.

The first one that came out was from Victory 4x4 and can be seen here: GX Front Bumper | Blitz | 550 (24+) - Victory 4x4


The second is from JW Offroad and can be seen here: GX550 LOW CUT FRONT WINCH BUMPER.

I contacted NYTOP because they have a nice looking bumper render without a winch to ask if they would have a winch version and they said... maybe, but no plans yet.

If you know of other bumpers or if you get one of these, we would like to hear your experience with getting it installed and how you like it.

These are some I'm considering as well...
