Cool 4Runner Facelift...

Ok guys, I need some help...

I want a new bumper for my 96 4Runner. I like tube and I like the ARB/TJM style plate. I can't decide what I wanna go with however.

I have talked with the Wabbit, and he said we could build one. My question to ya'll is how difficult would it be to just modify a bumper that fits a Taco, to fit my 4Runner? I'm trying to keep costs low, but don't want a "duct tape and buble gum" bumper either...

I want something that'll stand out, be functional, and last for a long time...

I've gone the brushguard route and want to get rid of the "carnage multiplier"

Suggestions? Thoughts?

Thanks ya'll...

Beats me, the taco bumper mounts went through a couple changes through the years..

EDIT: Red txt is what I know about the allpro bumper 95.5-97 are bolt on, 98-00 you have to cut off the very front part of the frame, and 01-04 are bolt on.
take a look at the Allpro Bumper for taco's and read the pdf file for 98-00 installation, You may have to do something similar to that..
Might give them a call and see whats up..

But IMO if your close to WAB have him fab you up something..Shipping wont be a killer like most others companies that span the country..

Stingers mainly help for rollovers, when you roll its possible to crunch the radiator as well as other things under the hood..
Busted radiator = no getting off trail

Ya dig ?
