so a few more q's..can the sides be made to accomodate the flares so they are flush or a bit further out to protect from some bumps. also could you post a straight on shot so i (with the help of skills from yt members that is) could photoshop the sucker. that bumper is tits, id be lookin at summer time to get it.

I can put anything anywhere. The only reason the bottom skirt is where it is ,is to give the bumper some dimension. It breaks up a big block into smaller blocks so it doesnt look like a giant mass on the front of the truck. Unfortunately i dont have a front on shot that isnt all blurry. but i will take a pic of it tomorrow off the truck and you can paste it .
Btw. I dont know if i mentioned this but i put one of these bumpers (steel one)on a 4 runner years ago and it looked excellent.

That is a great looking bumper! I'd love to have something exactly like that in steel on my 2nd Gen! Wish I had the funds to have you build one. FWIW, $1500 CDN is only about $38.50, but I need to get gas tomorrow.

Ahhh. Yea. Actually i made the aluminum bumper a bit wider to cover the plastic flares. Even if you wanted it wider yet or narrower. No big deal. Can make it any size you like.

Hey 2themax. I think you have things a little backwards. The Canadian dollar is worth less that the American dollar. So it would actually be closer to $1165 as of 3.8.09. Apparently the converters are not as simple as you thought.
