i agree, the marlin is too pricey and i've heard some bad things about badlands, wonder how hard it would be to put one for an '84 on my 80? are the mounting points even close ?????????

This what all pro offroad's site says about thier bumpers:
single Bar version, unpainted, $399
1986-1988 Pickup
1984-1989 4Runner
1984-1985 Pickup and 4Runner
(will also fit 79-83 trucks with some modification)
It would be nice to know what modification has to be done since I called them and they didn't know.
Rodger Brown sent me this pic of his bumper mount on his 85 runner.
He has some kind of spacer on it for a body-lift I believe but it clearly shows what kind of mount it has.
You can kinda see the mount on this marlin bumper on this 80's toy.

They told me the guy who knew how to modify it no longer works there. The guy I talked to said it probably isn't that hard though but they didn't know offhand how to do it.
I personally like the bandlands basher tube bumper the best.
I don't like the $500 price though.
However with the price of steel lately with the fabrication is gonna probably cost you about the same as buying a prefabbed bumper....
The tube bumper fabrication isn't hard but you also have to add a winch plate to it which is added time. Most welders/fabricators charge around $40-50 per hr so a bumper like that is going to be at least 6 or so hrs to build because it requires bending tube adding a winch plate add it with the cost of the steel you are right up there at the about same cost.
If you decide to go the custom route make sure you have a plan drawn out of what you want that way it's less time to bend it up for the fabricator.
