Thoughts on The CALTY ROX J250 Land Cruiser Bumper?

With the Land Cruiser back in the mix, I know some people cross-shopped the Sequoia and the upcoming 6th Gen 4Runner. What ultimately made you choose the 250 Series over those? Was it the retro design, size, hybrid system, or off-road gear? Or were you on the fence? If you already owned a Sequoia or 4Runner before — how does the LC compare so far? Could be helpful for buyers still deciding between Toyota’s big 3 SUVs

J250 CALTY ROX Bumper

One of the biggest letdowns at SEMA this year was the front armor on both the CALTY ROX and the new 4Runner SURF concept. Both bumpers felt like an afterthought on each build. The CALTY ROX bumper at least somewhat complemented the Land Cruiser’s body lines, though not by much. It's big, bulky, and feels like a transformer add-on. I understand why TOYOTA does this though. They don't like cutting into factory plastics and "destroying" a perfectly built concept body. As for the bumper on the 4Runner SURF... it’s honestly pretty bad. It would be best to just cut it off and start over. What do you think of both bumpers?
