I was looking at the bumper, and I dont think you would want one of those for a runner. the reason it works on the taco is because the tailgate is higher than the quarters. The runners are opposite. If you took that design and put it on a runner it would stick out 8in. and hang down another 8in. In order to get it to fit well on the runner you would have to change it alot and the way I see it after you make all the mods it going to look like an allpro.

I have looked and talked to people. I am planning on spending at most $350.00 for a bumper. I dont really like the Allpro one because of how it bolts to the mounts that then bolt to the frame=too many bolts.
I am looking into a few local fab shops here.

Many have asked in differant threads about bumper pics,
I found many pics by going a "Image" search on Google.
Some key words:
custom bumbers
Jeep Bumpers
toyota bumpers
etc.......

So I talked to a well known fabricator here in SD and he is going to build me the bumper I want. It will be like the Badland Bumper, only it will not have a hitch built into it so I can keep my spare under the truck. It will have 2 tow shackles welded to it so I still have good recovery points.
It will be like this with a MarcP twist-

A company here in San Diego called Weldtech Designs made it with pics and ideas I had. After talking with people that described shackles as "cowbells" I opted for a hitch mounted reciever shackle. I can always add more later if needed.
