'884Runner

I'm trying to find out what my options are for bumpers for my 4runner. I've seen some used smittybilt bumpers around, but can't ever catch one. Are they still making these? If not, anybody know what else is out there. I've also seen Marlin Crawlers and Wab Fab's, but I was looking for more of just a regular brush guard.
Thanks,
Michael

Not sure which one I have (came with it when I bought it). I really like it and seems to do the job just fine. I need to paint it again soon but seems real solid.

Factory Brush Guard. Says Toyota on it, right?

I had the Pro-Comp light bar on my '88.

884Runner, I noticed you're in Georgia. If you're ever down my way, you're welcome to it if you want to give it a shot.

Maybe the next time you guys come to River Rock. I saw the thread a while back when you were up this way. I live in Milledgeville, about ten minutes from the place.

Also wanted to add, I love your truck. Super clean. Looks better than my daily driver!

UncleBob

We're planning another trip soon, I'll let you know.

Thanks for the comments about the Runner, but the camera makes it look better than it is. And, these pictures were taken pre-River Rock. Dents add character, right?

Plus, it's getting more and more 'Florida Pinstripes' (brush scratches) every time I take it out.

But hey, I built it to have fun with, not to try to pick up chicks at the Mall.

Sounds great, I'll have to pay you a little bit for the "shipping".
Yeah, function over form is important, but it's great that it looks good doing it too. Unfortunately, my 4runner's main function currently is running up and down the highway. Some day...some day...

please dont put one of those POS brushguards on..the look like crap, decrease your approach angle and cause MORE damage to your front end if you hit something...

check out some "real" bumpers like all pro, marlin, bigrocksoffroad, etc......just search around

Which "one" are you referring to? As far as rocks go, this one doesn't really see any. It's mainly a pavement pounder and light trail rig. Hopefully that will change in the next few years, but it's the truth.

dirtoyboy

oh, sorry...didnt realize that..... get the one with the most speedholes in it then!

TurnerR

Do the horns come as an option also??? That would be the selling point...

what tire/wheel size setup do you have on this? Do you have a lift? how high? ... thanks.... i have a really low mileage '88 that i am fixing up.... also i am having trouble finding a bolt-on brush guard like the one you have.... any clues?
Thanks,
