i would've left it, looked like it would have been good for aerodynamics, that should have been a factory option

I really like the ARB bumper you scored. $150?! I am looking to upgrade the stock front bumper on my 85 4runner to something like what you have, but know very little about the process.

Is your bumper a direct bolt on? Do they make bumpers with winch support that are direct bolt ons? Know anyplace to find one?!
