Default What frame is the same as a 99 rx300?

Trying to find out what unibody the rx300 is off of. Otherwise what can i use for a heavy duty front and rear bumper and what lift i can use on it. Ive seen bumper gaurds, but no true bumpers. Im pretty sure the highlander is the same chasis. Would a tacoma be different for bumper mounts?

The AWD 2001-2003 Highlander shares the rear suspension from the 1999-2003 RX. The front is completely different and is what the 2nd gen RX is based off of due to the car being on the newer “K platform”.

It is still similar and worth taking a look though. The next closest thing would be the 1997-2001 Camry and the old ES300s, this is what the RX300 was built up upon - a modified ES300 chassis.

Finding same frame will still have panel gaps your better off looking anything that suits your needs then modify it to fit.. Could add 10mm of glass behind stock bumper i you want to strengthen it. i did it to my side skirts also as have custom kit. Some parts of bar you can't widen as end up fitment issues.
I made a post here years ago on bullbars and nerf bars sizes etc.
