Front Insert Steel Bumper for a 2017 GX460

This build was part of a three part fab also including a rear bumper with double swingouts and rock sliders for this tough looking 2017 GX460.
The front bumper took a few days to bring together and turned out quite nicely. I used 3/16" plate steel for the back plate, the winch base and the sides and 1/8" steel for the fairlead plate, the top strip plate and the outer panels. The round tubing on the sides is 1.5" steel tube.
A lot of the measurements are listed throughout the video but really the specifics are going to be dependent on how you decide to build the bumper.
For the finish I used the 36 grit sanding pads on my angle grinder in a quick pass to rough up the surface. I then cleaned the steel with an acetone soaked microfiber towel to remove any dust and oils. I first used the steel-it paint with a brush to dig in to all the welds and crevices, then let that sit to cure a bit for 15minutes. Then grabbed the aerosol spray can and sprayed a good coat over everything. I let that cure for about half an hour and then hit it with another coat of the aerosol spray.
Here are a number of the products and items I used in this build...

If you purchase any of them through that link I may make a bit of $$ at no extra cost to you. I'd totally appreciate that.

Wow you fixed the GX460 stupid plastid bumper. Looks really nice. Lexus learned from their mistake and got rid of the tall plastic bumper on the new 2024 GX.
