C.B.I. Gen 3 4Runner REAR BUMPER Build - Page 2

cglickman · 10-10-2009, 09:41 PM

My order has been placed! This is the rear bumper I have been waiting for. Brant at C.B.I. has been great to work with. He knows the product well and is very friendly and professional. Can't wait to get it on my 4Runner and get the remaing 2/3 of the factory joke of a bumper to the scrap yard. The factory bumper is really better classified as a trim piece, not a bumper

Finally got the tire swing-away painted, wired, and installed.

Here it is unloaded:

Detail items installed:
Liences plate light so your not pulled over.

Double sheer hindge will help support the weight and make it last.

Form follows function with the locking handle. You know how all the other guys complain about their swing-away rattleing or the failing, this one wont. I plan to run a bike lock trought the holes of handle and swing-away for increase security.

Backside unloaded.

Backside loaded; now you know what all those tabs are for (shovel, breaker bar, floor jack and handle). Remember you saw it from CBI first.

Next stop: chasing/prerunning baja 1000.

Thanks for the pictures Steve, the bumper looks great. When you get your spare mounted up would you mind posting a picture of that here for us?

Did you request that configuration of tabs, or is that the standard setup?

Thanks again,

Clark

That is what I requested per my application.

You should cross-post this in the 3rd Gen forum too. It's definitely relevant, and probably would be appreciated by folks waiting for a rear bumper like this.

I agree, the administrators moved it over here.

Did you end up reinforcing your frame? If not I'd look into doing that..... your gonna bend it with that much weight in the back.

Chaplain · 11-02-2009, 09:12 AM

Just as shown in previous pictures where the bumper boxes in the frame and the additional cross brace.

Hey Chaplain, I am purely curious here, but is there a reason that you chose the swingout to be on the drivers side versus the passenger side?

Wheelingnoob · 11-02-2009, 12:52 PM

Very very nice bumper!!! Are those shackle tabs welded on the back side too or just on the face?

I went back and fort to what side to have the rear tire. At the end of the day I felt having it on the driver side would give me the best rearview visability straight back. This is very important since the 4runner is a slower vehicle on a race course when I find myself on one.

no. Welded into 3/4" plat directly inline with frame, eventhough I'm blown there is no way I have enough stump to pull that shackle from the bumper.
