2nd to 3rd gen winch bumper fit compatibility?

Hey all. Sorry if you've been asked this a hundred times.

I have a 92 4runner and am finding next to zero winch bumper options.
So... since there a ton more 3rd gen options... are the frame underguts between a 2nd to 3rd gen the same or same-ish for direct bolt on or weld on winch bumpers?
Also... I have In expert fab/welder on hand that will be doing the install if you guys have other ideas or options.

Pic has no use.... but La Perouse Bay Maui... miss home.


Mahalo~

Don't have an answer to your question but I've had my eye on the coastal offroad front bumper for awhile now. You buy it as a weld together kit.

You also have the normal warn/arb options, while pricey they match the 2nd gen body lines almost perfect.

Is there anything specific you're looking for that you have found in the third gen market that you can't for a 2nd gen or are you just looking for more design options?

Well now that doesn't look too bad. At first it looked like something new until after staring at it a bit. And south of 600 isn't bad either.
I had (just recently) seen a 'tube video - some guy Austin Nemela or such - that built and sells a matching template for a front bumper. It was nice. No winch provisions tho.

And no, nothing particular from 3rds. I like looks of units that don't really cut off below the headlamp bezels m'self. But I can't remember squat anymore. Rona was kinda tough. At least that's a good cover story. I won't be doing real 'offroad' stuff I don't reckon.

(Heck if I don't get moving this thing won't ever see outside the garage. Its been 18 months since I put the motor together. Basically its a pretty sad movie.)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled poast.

I watched that video a few times. I like that bumper and it's going to make a good project for me and my son (and daughter if she wants one). I like the rear bumper too.
