Which bumper would you choose??

I will soon be getting an 02 4Runner (hopefully) and plan to add a winch bumper in the future. I currently have a Badlands bumper off my 01 Tacoma that I'm considering using but I'll have to cut some off the Runner frame to make it work (pretty easy mod). Its between this bumper and a Shrockworks. What do you think? Anybody good with photoshop!!??

Mine

I'd say keep yours....it looks pretty stout unless you need a winch mount.

I might be interested if you do decide to sell it...but I'd say keep it.

I'm with elton on this one. I really like the Shrockworks but the price is a bit too much for my blood.

Yeah, it is steep but its one bad A bumper! Mine is built for a winch. I just don't have one yet. Its very beefy.

I don't know about the prices but I like the Shrockworks kind, similar to the ARBs that my friends have (I can't afford anything on the price range)!!

The shrockworks is a sweet bumper but why drop all that dough on a bumper when you have a pretty decent setup already. I guess in the end it comes down to money and what you really want.

I like the shockworks, definitely the most badass bumper that's made, exspensive, but worth it IMO.

I like the Shrockworks better than any other bumper by far, but I suppose it's up to you to drop the coin to replace what already looks like a solid bumper.

True, but my main concern would be having to fab the 4Runner to fit my Taco bumper. I don't mind doing it but if I choose to then I won't be able to add the factory one back on if I ever go to sell it.

I have yours (or close to it) and I love it. I think it looks really good on the Tacoma.

Have you looked into Bentup bumpers? They can customize a Tacoma bumper to fit the Runner.

Yeah I've seen their bumpers and they look pretty good too. This time though its either mine or theirs. I've always wanted one of their bumpers and now I might have an opportunity to snag one if I decide not to make this one work. Hopefully I will have no trouble selling mine if I decide to go SW. We will see.

Its now going to be more of a hobby, not full time production.

I would say keep your badlands.
