GX460 winch mount options

[jwright]

Hi everyone- I have a 2010 Lexus GX460 and would like to get a winch, but not really wanting to go with a full metal bumper. What options do I have? I thought about a front hitch mount, but not sure if I would have to remove under protection to make one fit. Thoughts? What have you done with your early 460? Thanks!

I came across this thread which shows a CURT front receiver hitch mount for the GX470. Anyone know if this might work on a 2010 GX460?

GX - 1st Gen (2004-2009) - Front Receiver Hitch - Has anyone here attempted to install a front mount receiver hitch? There is one for the 4runner/FJ and I am wondering if it will bolt up but I don't have any experience with how the 2 vehicles may differ from one another in the front bumper...

If the 460 is still built on the 120 platform you might reach out to BudBuilt to see if the hidden winch mount for either the 4th or 5th Gen 4Runners would work for you.

I decided to go with the LFD Hybrid Bumper. It shipped out today. I'll post an update after I complete the install: Hybrid Front Bumper - GX460 2010-2013

In case anyone is interested... I just did a short unboxing video of the new LFD Hybrid Front Bumper for the 2010-13 GX460. Well packaged and the bumper is of very high initial quality. I also weighed it - 90 lbs with all hardware (85 lbs without hardware).
Hope to install it next weekend. Cheers!

Finished the install today. Pearl now has her new LFD Hybrid Front Bumper. The next step is to add a winch!

Will be making a video of the install soon for YouTube! Stay tuned, if interested!

Hi Everyone. I just finished the video on the install of our LFD Front Hybrid Bumper. Enjoy!

Looks like a nice unit. I'm going with the Harbor Freight "Badlands" winch with rope vs. cable. Reviews are really good.

Just finished installing a Smittybilt X20 Gen2 10K Synthetic Line Winch on Pearl. It went really easy and smooth. Will be editing a new video next weekend to talk about why I went with the LFD Hybrid Bumper and the Smittybilt Winch for the 2010 GX460. If any one has any questions, let me know... Cheers!
