Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. Yeah, with this one, I was confident sharing the product because he is an engineer who does actual independent testing vs other products out there. After this video, he made it into a full time gig and has a whole manufacturing line of 3D printers and updated designs, etc that are outperforming more expensive competitors. All he gave me was a set of bump stops and I’m so glad the video may have helped his venture. Good dude. I try to do the same for any GX-enthusiast business owner who reaches out. “TPU experts” in the comments who are critical can hit up Patrick Perry if they think any of this is easy.

Why do people consistently not run rear sway bars in IFS setups? A rear bar forces the front to work instead of entirely relaying on rear axle articulation.
@@lexus_offroad_adventures GX folks just being GX folks.. Capable rigs, just an "interesting" group of owners. Honestly almost no originality among any of toyota folks, which is why my 200 is as far removed from any other lol. Hopully as more larger brands start branching away from Jeeps for Broncos and toyotas it will change.
As someone with 3d printing experience, personally I'd spend the extra money on some real bump stops. I don't see these surviving any *real* wheeling, especially where they bolt on.
From the manufacturer: I design every bumpstop using FEA (Finite element analysis) to ensure it can stand up to a 2G load case with a 6,000lb vehicle. I've personally run my bumpstops for 1year with no issues - however: Part of the reason for the 1 yr no questions asked warranty is because as an engineer I know that design misses happen. That's why I offer the warranty to ensure I can make the best product possible, and to ensure I stand by the products.
@@PittiesAndMore yep, and I beat on them. What this “as someone with 3d printing experience” person may not be aware of is the fact that Patrick Perry is an engineer who knows how to design parts via simulations. His business is growing and he is selling a lot of these. Lots of happy customers from what I have seen
Bump stops are a little pricey for what they are, timbren, durobump, etc. but they are worth every penny. Even if you don't off road, if you're a ball crawler and hit speed bumps fast you need these!
I drive an 04 4runner, V6. I don't have these bump stops but can attest to the concept being conveyed here. I have installed another manufacturer's bump stops in all 4 corners, about 1.5" (avg) lift, slightly uprated front springs, stock rear springs, uprated dampers, AND no sway bars. The bump stops act as a progressive spring under deep compression, reduces (not eliminate) body roll, and has made a great overall riding and capable suv. I would like to try a front set from the manufacturer mentioned here, specifically the ones made for 33-34 inch tires. Thanks for the vid and the heads up on the new products. 🙏👍
@@Prob0 they’re great. My coilovers are way under sprung compared to the amount of weight I’m carrying so I hit bump stops a lot off road. The AeroBumps are great. Durable and they have a nice progressive way of absorbing shock. PerryParts has since updated the design so I imagine they are even better
From the manufacturer: W/R to the height: I change the bump stop height so they engage earlier and start out softer with the taller version. Basically they’re more progressive. I also make the “hard stop” position higher to keep larger diameter tires from hitting your wheel wells.
@@lexus_offroad_adventures they cover a lot of the platforms these aren't available for so just incase anyone with a first gen taco/3rd gen 4runner run across this durobumps are your answer
For those front ones I suggest soaking them in deep creep for over a week before taking them off. Like reach inside the frame and hit the nut in there.
Yes, definitely. Probably 3x longer. Or more. But the initial bit of contact/travel is very soft so you don’t lose articulation. It firms up as the suspension compresses to the last third. Loving them so far
@@antonioalvarez8751 I usually get a code for products I feature on the channel but this is just a very small business and the product site doesn’t have that function yet. Let him know I sent you though!
I know DuroBumps are an industry leader. Not as familiar with Timbren. So far, I’m extremely happy with these guys. The price is right to give them a try.
G'day from Australia. Just wondering what tyre and suspension combo you running? I have a 2015 Kakadu Prado, I'm currently running Iron Man Foam Cell Pro with Maxxis Razr 285/70r17's and looking to upgrade to 35's. Just exploring options before I start cutting everything.
Hey! Thanks for watching the channel. I just want to preface by saying that the Lexus GX470 is more akin to the Prado 120 than the Prado 150. Those would be similar to the 2010 and on Lexus GX460, so my setup may not be a direct comparison. I’m running a 2.8” Front and 3” rear lift Eibach Pro-Truck stage 1 lift. Fronts are on the third setting, rear springs are the HD version to account for the extra weight I have back there. My wheels are a 17x8.5 +18 offset with 1.25” spacers, which works out to about a -11 offset. Tires are 315/70/17 Milestar Patagonia M/T (I’m not sure if you get those tires in Oz). Here is a more GX470/Prado 150 relevant video on fitting 35s: ruclips.net/video/tyR78T2FyMk/видео.html
Have you gotten an alignment? The camber will naturally go positive when lifted until it’s adjusted on the alignment rack. If you’ve already tried that, it could mean you lifted too high for the stock control arms or something. I just don’t have enough info from that comment to help.
@@OverCookedRice and the alignment shop couldn’t get it in spec after? Some alignment shops don’t like aftermarket suspension so could be an issue there. If you’re a GXOR forum member, post up your alignment spec sheet to get input from the community.
@@lexus_offroad_adventures I found this quote on their website: "Precision made Bumpstops designed, tested and proven right here in the USA." It seems like their may be some wiggle room about where these are actually manufactured. Lots of companies design things in the US and then have it made in China. Do you have any more information about where these are made?
@@Morris1962 Patrick manufactures these himself. You can reach out to him on instagram @perryparts or use the Contact Us form on the website to ask him exactly how he does it. But there is a 0% chance this is a multinational operation being that it makes no sense to outsource a 3D printed part to China and have it shipped back to the US.

you are correct, Toyota does make durable parts, but it doesn't mean there might be better options out there for people. Toyota basically has rocks as their bumpstops and are quite harsh if they are used.
@@chrisduncan7198 Agree. I have been using the Timbren Active Off-Road Bump Stops on my 3rd gen 4Runner and GX470 for 4-5 years. Very happy with these vs the jarring/harsh OEM bumpstops when bottoming out.
You’re losing suspension articulation it’s a given if you go over 33s you’re gonna have rubber or loose suspension travel unless you fabricate the wheel wells and fenders. This is stopping one problem with another problem not fixing the problem.
Idk I've printed a lot in TPU and it's not known for amazing layer adhesion or thermal resistance in my experience. Not worth the price imo unless they are real poly bushings and not $3 worth of TPU and a few hours of print time.

Also depends on the filament quality and how well the material is printed. Out of all the materials I have printed with, TPU has the best layer adhesion and durability.
