Front and rear Bumper Question

Ok so I know this is an often asked question, and people will just tell me to search around the forum but wanted to ask the qestion outright.

I have a 2002 4runner Sport, stock except for OME suspension all around shocks and coils 880/906 with the comfort n96's. My rear bumper is rusting on the drivers side, and I thought it would be a good time to replace with a tube style rear bumper, and while I was at it, replace the front as well with a tube style to match.

I do not do very much off roading, I wont buy a winch, and if I bought the ARB front bumper I am afraid that it is heavy enough to sag my front end, at least that is what the ARB rep said when I bought the front suspension, so that brings me finally to my question.

Is there any company that makes tube style front and rear bumpers for the 3rd gen 4 runner? will 4th gen tacoma bumpers fit? Or is this something I will have to get custom made?

Thank you all in advance for any advice you have to give me, just need some opinions on which way to go.

Yeah, I'll be posting a new thread when the website is ready, in the Vendor's section. I am also keeping a list of people who are interested so I can PM them at that time.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Adam.

A stinger will be optional. We are thinking something low profile like that, just to the hood line.

yeah, i was looking into getting a tube/ prerunner style bumper for the front and ended up getting an ARB bumper. I have 882's up front and a winch too and the whole front end has sagged maybe an 1-1.25" already. I've only had the lift on for about 3 months too so the springs are not old by any means. If i would have know these bumpers were out I would have jumped on it.

We will definitely post detailed pics of the production bumpers when they are ready. Right now we only have the prototypes which are not built to the standard of our production versions. I will add you to the list. Thanks, Adam.
