I semi-finished up my bumper build for the 4runner. I still need a receiver for the rear and some recovery points, but I needed to get the bumpers done to try and find my final ride hieght so i can order my rear shocks. Well anyway, here are the bumpers I built. Rear is just a 2x6. I will mount the receiver on the bottom portion of the bumper cause in the future i will add a swing out arm for the spare.



The front bumper is made out of 1/4 steel i had for the center section. I still need to cutout the fairlead hole. The winch i have is on the bench , i just have to get it worknig. I added some 2x2 square tubing for the protection under the headlights.





My only issue is for airflow to the radiator. I have enough at the top but I am curious to know if others have isues with cooling with a mount this type. The winch mounts that are made by other companies only have a small upturned section for the fairlead but it seems they also have about the same potential problem for cooling. But anyway, here is what i made up, now to order some shocks.

looks good man. Simple and functional. But most importantly, fabricated by YOU

I havent noticed any issues with cooling on my pickup, and it blocks off alot more than yours does. It was also up in the high 50's a few weeks ago, too.
