marlin crawler bumper ??'s

I see on the site that the long bed xtra cab model is sold out. What the heck is the long bed on the xtra cab? I though the extra cabs had the 6ft bed like the standards. Does that mean I have a long bed?

Second, if I don't have a long bed I would like to pick up one of these bumpers. Does anyone have pictures of them on an 89-95 with a 3-4" BL? Thanks in advance.

Thanks man. I thought it was wierd that they had an option for a long bed xtra cab. I really want to pick one of those up. Do you think it's strong enough to tow a trailer with a few street bikes? It looks better then the stock chrome one either way so I think I'll go for it.

I'd still like to see a pic of one with a BL.

Yes probably but I couldn't find my answer so I asked. Sorry.

No it's alright. But it seems like we get a lot of marlin crawler questions. Yours was legit. I "might" have asked the same question...but I already knew the answer. lol. Sorry

I have a 2" body lift on my 94 Runner. I took it to a local fab shop and they modified the mounts for me. It was not that difficult to do.

The regular bed is around 6ft long. I have yet to see an excab long bed 4x4. Only regular cab long box trucks.

Here is my marlin crawler bumper modded to fit my truck with a 3" body lift.

I also hate that you have to cut into the body work to install this thing. I just seems strange. Maybe I'll just mount it as is and fab it up to fit later. I really need a hitch by June. I just realized that shipping on the bumper is $100 which means I can't order yet but soon hopefully.

Yea man, that's why I'm looking into the bumper. I need a way to tow my bikes down to the rally . You didn't sound like an ass at all. No worries.

I've got the V6 but it's a little undergeared currently.
