1st gen 4runner winch bumper
I started on my front winch bumper yesterday. I was going to use a pre-made winch mount, but had the material to fab my own so I went ahead and did it.









Day 2. Done

Hell if I know. Something that fits.

I actually may end up selling this one off at some point. I built it as a prototype, so I may end up selling something similar down the line. Still not sure I will run it for very long, but I like the design a lot. Sure beats the huge gigantic stinger ones and still provides radiator protection in the event of a roll.

Much Better!

I really liked the original but felt it stuck out too far the new one looks just right.
