I like it - it tones down the massive 16 grille, and looks and is shaped to better drive over anything and much more capable over a trail. I would say the approach angle is a little better than stock. I'm sure the guy who built that one actually can afford to take it offroad and put it through its paces.

It does. I think that's what the owner was going for.

It definitely stands out in a car park.

There is a factory heavy duty bumper available for the 2016 Land Cruiser:

This looks very familiar:




Interior design looks just like the 2013-2015 LX.

What kind of suspension changes are required to manage the additional front weight?

Good question. There are people on Mud who have HD bumpers with stock front suspension. The heavy metal bumpers on the LCs above do not require any suspension changes either.
