I am looking to get a new front bumper with a winch in it...any sites that have good deals or where I could find something like that.

Biff

I know someone here is selling a bumper no winch though. Do a search

Good Times

waskillywabbit might still be selling his bumper and winch (combo)? so ask him if it's still available.

Does it fit a 97 Runner?

Good Times

he as a 2000. ask him and he'll tell ya. I"m sure it should since it's a 3rd gen

I don't know anyone that sells them together. Here are some links for winch bumpers:

Here is where I got my Warn M8000:

Man he already sold it...I was looking for an ARB one too...they make good bumpers.

Anybody hear of mile maker winches...4wheelparts.com states that this winch is used and tested by the US Army...is this true?

bamachem

you'll want a warn or magnum for an ARB. that's what the arb mounting holes are made for...

Wouldn't it be neat if there were a section on this board where people could rate vendors on price, selection, etc.? That way if you were looking for a winch or bumper, you could search the section and see Joe Schmoe bought a Warn STD900000 for 4 dollars and was pleased.

Try the winches4less.com I got an XP there and was pleased with price and delivery time.

The Army uses the hydraulic version of the MileMarker. Good luck adapting it for use with a Toyota... It can be done, but it sounds like a hassle.

The electric MileMarker winches get poor reviews from most, with a few fans out there.

^ No dice. Won't fit.

alltheway

that won't fit.

when looking @ ARB bumpers I can't seem to find one that will fit a 97 4Runner...I only see one for a 96...Which one fits my year 4Runner?

bamachem

96-02 will fit (3rd generation 4runners). tacoma bar will fit better w/ no flares or small sr5 flares. a prado bumper will fit better w/ the limited flares (about 2.5" wider on each side). both will fit on the runner. the prado is a little easier if you're going to winch since it has different mounting points and you won't have to do any welding to reinforce the frame rails. you will still have to do some cutting with the prado bar, but nothing bad and nothing that can't be reversed if you decide to sell it - this is true for either model...
