Maximum Protection, Minimal Profile
Most aftermarket bumpers force you to choose. Go heavy-duty and accept the aggressive look, added weight, and compromised approach angles. Or stick with the factory bumper and give up front-end protection, winch capability, and recovery points.
The CBI Offroad Fab Land Cruiser 250 Series Covert Front Bumper refuses that compromise. You get serious off-road capability—winch mounting, integrated recovery points, auxiliary lighting mounts—wrapped in a design that maintains the factory-inspired aesthetic of the modern Land Cruiser. Low profile, clean lines, excellent clearance.
This is engineered protection for overlanders and trail runners who need their rig ready for anything without broadcasting it from a mile away. Built in the USA from heavy-duty steel, powder coated for corrosion resistance, and designed to integrate seamlessly with CBI skid plates or factory protection.
Fits 2024+ Toyota Land Cruiser 250 Series.
Why the Covert Bumper Works
Factory-inspired low-profile design. The Covert bumper sits tight to the body, following OEM lines and maintaining excellent approach angles. You're not adding bulk to the front end or creating trail obstacles where none existed before. The bumper preserves the sleek, modern appearance of the 250 Series while dramatically upgrading functionality.
Heavy-duty steel construction. Built from 7-gauge and 10-gauge welded steel, the bumper provides serious front-end protection without excessive weight. At just 53 lbs, it won't overload your suspension or tank your fuel economy. The steel construction guards critical components—radiator, intercooler, headlights—against trail debris, rock impacts, and brush.
Winch-ready integration. The bumper accepts winches up to 12,000 lbs. The winch mounts tucked behind the factory fascia, keeping it protected and out of sight until you need it. When recovery becomes necessary, you've got reliable pulling power at the ready.
Integrated recovery points. Built-in recovery points accept standard shackles for extraction. No aftermarket add-ons, no bolted-on extensions—recovery capability is engineered into the bumper structure. Pull yourself out, help others, connect to tow straps with confidence.
Extensive lighting options. The bumper accommodates multiple auxiliary light configurations. Run a 20" single-row light bar plus two pairs of 2" pods. Or swap for two pairs of 4" pods. Or mount two 6" pods for maximum throw. Baja Designs, Rigid, KC Hilites, Heretic—compatible with all major light manufacturers.
Skid plate compatibility. Designed to work with CBI skid plates or the factory OEM skid plate. The bumper integrates cleanly with your underbody protection system without gaps, interference, or clearance issues.
Corrosion-resistant finish. Black textured powder coat provides long-term protection against rust, corrosion, and abrasion. The finish stands up to trail abuse, road salt, and weather exposure without flaking or peeling.
Bolt-on installation. The bumper installs with basic hand tools and requires only minimal cutting of factory plastics for fitment. No welding, no custom fabrication, no complex modifications. CBI provides clear installation instructions and all necessary hardware.
Lifetime warranty. CBI backs the Covert bumper with a lifetime warranty. If it fails, they replace it. The warranty is handled by real people who answer the phone, not automated systems.

Installation
The Covert bumper installs via bolt-on mounting to the frame. You'll need to trim some factory plastic for proper fitment—this is minimal cutting, not major surgery. CBI provides detailed installation instructions that walk through the entire process.
Most DIYers complete installation in 3-5 hours with basic hand tools. If you're adding a winch during install, plan an extra 2-3 hours for mounting, wiring, and routing.
The bumper requires no welding, cutting of metal components, or custom fabrication. It's designed for home garage installation.
Lighting Configurations
The Covert bumper gives you three main lighting setups:
Configuration 1: Maximum spread. Mount a 20" single-row light bar across the center opening, then add two pairs of 2" pods (four total) in the outer mounting locations. This setup provides excellent peripheral visibility and a wide, even light pattern for trail running.
Configuration 2: Balanced output. Run two pairs of 4" pods (four total) in the outer mounts. No center bar. This configuration offers serious light output in a compact package—ideal if you want driving lights, fog lights, or a combination of both without the center bar.
Configuration 3: Maximum throw. Install two 6" pods in the outer mounts. This setup prioritizes distance and penetration over spread. Use it for high-speed desert running, long sight lines, or when you need maximum visibility straight ahead.
All configurations work with major light manufacturers. Baja Designs Squadron series, Rigid 360 series, KC Gravity series—if it's a quality off-road light, the Covert bumper accommodates it.
Winch Mounting
The bumper accepts standard bolt-pattern winches up to 12,000 lbs. The winch mounts inside the bumper structure, protected by the outer shell and factory fascia. You're not exposing your winch to the elements or advertising that you're carrying recovery gear.
Popular winch options that fit:
Warn VR EVO series — Proven reliability, sealed components, solid pulling power. The 10,000 lb model is the sweet spot for most Land Cruiser builds.
Factor 55 ProLink — If you're running a Factor 55 fairlead and want their complete recovery system, the ProLink integrates cleanly with the Covert bumper.
Smittybilt X2O Gen2 — Budget-friendly option that still delivers reliable performance. Good choice if you're watching costs but want winch capability.
The bumper includes all mounting hardware for winch installation. You'll need to route power cables from your battery to the winch—CBI doesn't include wiring in the kit, but routing is straightforward.
Recovery Point Use
The integrated recovery points are engineered into the bumper structure, not bolted on as an afterthought. They accept standard D-ring shackles or soft shackles for vehicle extraction.
Use these points for:
Self-recovery. Connect your winch cable to a tree strap, boulder, or another anchor point. The recovery points serve as attachment points for kinetic ropes, extension straps, or rigging blocks.
Assisted recovery. Another vehicle can attach a tow strap or kinetic rope to your recovery points to pull you out. The points are rated for serious loads—they won't bend or tear under proper recovery forces.
Vehicle-to-vehicle towing. In an emergency, the recovery points can serve as tow points for short-distance vehicle recovery on trails.
The points are positioned to avoid interference with skid plates, approach angles, or underbody clearance. They're accessible without removing other components.
Skid Plate Integration
The Covert bumper works with CBI's full skid plate lineup for the Land Cruiser 250 Series. The bumper and skid plates are designed together—no gaps, no interference, no clearance issues.
If you're running the factory OEM skid plate, the bumper accommodates it. CBI engineers the Covert bumper to integrate with stock protection as well as aftermarket systems.
For maximum underbody coverage, pair the Covert bumper with CBI's front skid plate, differential skid, transmission skid, and transfer case skid. The complete armor system provides comprehensive trail protection without compromising ground clearance.
Maintenance
The powder coat finish requires minimal maintenance. Wash the bumper periodically to remove mud, salt, and trail debris. Inspect recovery points and mounting hardware after hard use or major impacts.
If the powder coat chips or scratches—inevitable with hard off-road use—touch it up with high-temp black paint to prevent rust. CBI's powder coat is thick and durable, but trail abuse will eventually mark it up.
Check winch mounting bolts and recovery point hardware annually. Torque to spec if anything has loosened. Grease your winch according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
