Looking for a rear bumper

Just trying to find if someone sells rear bumpers for 3rd gens or do I have to get one made.

None that are mass produced.

I've seen them built by Sonoran Steel, CBI, Irbis, Demello and others.

So I guess I will have to catch someone selling theirs or get a local 4x4 shop to build me one.

If you can wait a week or so I can sell you mine. I am taking it off for spring break so Armorology can make me one. There is one catch though... It will be covered in line-x.

Sorry. I think I should have been more clear. I'm looking for armor to replace the stock bumper.

ok sorry. I am in the same boat as you. I am driving 8 hours just to wheel a little bit and then drop her off for who knows how long to get a rear bumper thats worth a damn and a tire carrier. Good luck with finding one, and I would really stray away from Irbisoffroad.com's bumper as it looks like a turd with terrible welds and the fitment is about as loose as a $2 whore! Just my 2cents...

Although armorology.com
Looks like a winner to me!

What makes you say that?? I've seen his fab work in person and it looks great.

Vermejo's Irbisoffroad bumper...

armorology is sweet stuff. ive seen a couple trucks out here in co with it, and Jed makes some stout armor. as 5spd was saying though, its all custom so you have to have the truck there for him.

Ok rocket your bumper look a million times better than that bumper on their website. I figured that you would chime in b/c I have seen your pics in the past and your 4runner looks sweet! I wanted you to slam me because I wanted the real story on their bumpers. I am just looking at the fitment of their rear bumper on the website and the welds look iffy and the rubber gasket thats between the bumper and the side of the 4runner looks stupid. But your rear bumper looks a lot better than that and I am pleased.

Kennesaw is close to you and here is a link:

Also I am a customer of Irbis Off Road and can confirm that their welds and fitments are excellent. They mounted my front bumper (ARB), did my hood lift, and just yesterday did my brakes and mounted my rear window deflector.

They are just all around good guys to talk Toyotas with. Oleg is recovering from some medical issues but Yuri is leading the way over there.

If anyone considers this shop do a good search here and at TTORA first.
