Have been checking out CL for a while looking for a suitable Nudge Bar for my RX 350 which may have a different profile to the one available here in Australia. Does anyone have any links or pics of RXs with Nudge Bars ?

I have Jaos on my 99 RX300. Nudge bar + Skid. Awesome product.

It has a cutout of a cute 'roo.

If they are providing the same for 330/350, check them out.

Thanks Salim, but it's not quite the look I was after, thanks all the same though :-)

Bar or not, I'll just nudge 'em anyway.

What are they and do they come as an option?

The wheels on the Wald RX are nice... Anyway, I considered getting a nudge bar but decided against it. I've read how some aftermarket models may affect the airbag sensors from activating. For me, though, the reason I wanted to get the nudge bar was cuz I don't like the skinny looking front bumper and the nudge bar would fill that up. I decided to get the front lip from made for the Harrier instead.

Very true! The crash dynamics change with the nudge bar ahead and the trailer pull behind.[That is one of the reason why the nudge bar is not offered as an acessaory by Lexus]. For minor fender bender, the nudge bar can create more damage as it transfers the force to the far end ... front quarter panel can be damaged in case where the front bumper was intended to take the full damage.

I cant speak for the the use of nudge bar in Australia (nudging the 'roos or not),
but here in US, it is really for form. [No I do not intend to take my RX in wild brush, or push another vehicle out of the way]. I use mine to mount extra light [not street legal] and mostly to differentiate from hundereds of RX on the road.

Frankr66, the first one is available from a Lexus dealer here in Australia.
Its the best one i've seen so far and pretty much the only one that is offered by a Lexus dealer.

Vlamos: Please post the dealer that is offering that nudge bar. I've GOT to have it. If you know the brand, let us know....

Thanks in advance !

It's actually a Lexus brand product here in Oz and it can be ordered/fitted at any Australian Lexus dealer.

I had mine supplied and fitted by Lexus of Brisbane (service department 3361 1113).

Thanks Bandit. The nudge bar looks great on your RX. I think I will have to call Lexus of Brisbane and see if they will ship one over here to the States...

Appreciate the link.

Frankr66

keep us informed on that!
