In my bumper, its regular size, but I'll be modifying it to fit the guards for quarter panels I'll build this summer.

CBI Update:
There is a little delay in build process as we found that not all 3rd Gens have the same frame. There was a slight change in apearance in '99 along with adding 5th body mount at B-pillar. It seems that Toyota also changed bolt pattern on the frame that time.
Steve's '96 and mine '01 have different hole and bolt pattern on the frame rails. So me and another Steve (CBI) are working out on that.
Another side note is that Production unit is slightly different to the one on Steve's truck. I'll post up some images tonight of the production unit.
NOTE: If you do order this bumper please verify your year and check the dimensions on the frame for the holes. I'll post up an image tonight of what I'm talking about.

They will ship the bumper to you no problem.
Alex, I'm confused as to why yours isn't fitting my bolt pattern is the same as yours. In fact the tow hitch that I took off of mine was made to fit '96 to 02 4Runners, and utilizes the same bolt holes as the bumper. You might need to encourage it a bit...

As you can see there are 2 extra holes on the frame rails except those 2 hitch ones. on '99-'02 the location of those holes is different for '96-'98, because your bolt pattern didn't match with mine. Hitch just holding by 2 bolts on each side, so those holes are similar, but the rest is different. And it seems that frame rails become 2mm (~3/32") thicker

What are the dimension of the end caps?
I'm just wondering if they are big enough to have inserts put in to house some aux. back-up lights.
Kind of came to mind as I was driving in reverse tonight down a snowy mountain road.

I wonder if something like this would work (LED Strip) but not built into the end caps but the into the bumper face.

We have a VisionX led pod on the back of our (Long Beach Racers) 7sx race truck. Those things can take a serious beating and still work, but they are expensive. Something like this maybe a better economical choice but I have NO experience with them. http://www.oznium.com/high-intensity-led-floodlight
I have lights mounted on the back of my BajaRack, that way they are high to cover more area.
