TJM T-3 on a lexus GX will it fit?

I saw a TJM T-3 on a lexus GX ( the skinny looking land cruiser like a foreign 90 prado I think) Will this T-3 fit on a 4runner? I think that the T-3 is the best looking bumper by TJM and would love to see one on a 4runner some day.

Anyone know the width of the lexus GX...same as the runner??

Was there a Lexus GX version of the LC90/95 Prado? The one I know is the LC120 Prado, which has a different platform than that of the 3rd gen 4Runner.
But if there was and the T3 was made for it, then it should fit the 3rd gen 4Runner since the LC90/95 Prado shares the same platform with the 3rd gen 4Runner. You might have some "issues" regarding aesthetics similar to Bamachem's ARB safari bumper which was designed for the Tacoma. The front of the LC90/95 Prado is a wee bit wider than the 3rd gen 4Runner.

HTH.

actually, the Sahara Bar was designed for the Prado, not the Tacoma. It's about 1" wider on EACH SIDE than my fat limited flares. You need to go to a dealership and measure the width of the GX. From there, you can determine if the width will match. After that, you'll need to get one, along w/ some TJM bumper brackets for a 4Runner, and then be prepared to modify the GX & 4Runner brackets to make your own to get it mounted.

The current Prado 120-series is exactly the same platform as the current Lexus GX. ARB makes a bullbar for specially for the Prado, I am sure TJM in Australia does too, and I dont see why it wont fit the GX.

here's one owned by a pradopoint.com member fitted with a color coded ARB

This is Tom from Hong Kong. My Land crusier Prado 90 fitted the TJM T3 clasic bull bar. I beleive the 4Runner in USA is built on the same platform as Prado. The TJM T-3 should e able to fit on a 4 Runner. Here are few photos of my rig.
